The invention discloses a variable-force pressing method and device of a
seeder based on vision and
sensor fusion. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring an
earth surface soil image through an industrial camera, extracting
soil structure characteristics, and constructing a multi-source
information fusion model to calculate a target
ballast force in combination with
ballast force and
soil water content information acquired by a
pressure sensor and a
humidity sensor; and through feedforward calculation of the electric push rod and PID closed-
loop control, self-adaptive adjustment of the
ballast force is realized. And meanwhile, a model optimization and self-learning mechanism is introduced, so that the accuracy and adaptability of ballast force adjustment are improved. The matched device comprises a rack, a press wheel, an electric push rod, a camera, a
pressure sensor, a
humidity sensor and other structures, and the problems that an existing
seeder press device is insufficient in press force adjusting precision and low in intelligent level are solved. The pressing force can be adjusted in a self-adaptive mode according to different soil conditions, the soil pressing uniformity and the
sowing quality are improved, and the device is suitable for intelligent pressing operation of agricultural machines such as a
sowing machine.
