This invention provides a
hybrid-type cotton harvester and its control method, including a
hybrid-type
hybrid system. The hybrid-type
hybrid system includes an engine, a gearbox, a
coupling device, a differential, a generator, a battery, a main controller, a travel
motor controller, a picking
motor controller, a fan
motor controller, a baling motor controller, a cotton collecting motor controller, and a conveying motor controller. The engine transmits power to the
coupling device via the gearbox, the
coupling device couples the power of the engine and the travel motor, and then transmits the power to the wheels via the differential. This invention achieves mechanical decoupling between the various working systems of the cotton harvester through distributed
electric drive, solving the problems of numerous components, long paths, and inability to adjust operating parameters in real time in traditional cotton harvester transmission systems. It results in low fuel consumption, low
pollution, and
high energy efficiency, balancing the
machine's range and energy saving, and enabling switching between different
modes, thus improving the overall fuel economy and dynamic performance of the vehicle.
