[0059] In an optional embodiment, the chassis vehicle further includes: a steering wheel 1, a pedal 2 and an operating lever 5 electrically connected to the first industrial computer; the sensor provided in the steering wheel 1 is suitable for detecting the rotation angle of the steering wheel 1, and sending the detected angle to the first industrial computer, and the first industrial computer is suitable for judging the direction and amplitude of the rotation of the steering wheel 1 according to the detected angle; the pedal 2 is connected to a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is suitable for detecting the pressure exerted on the pedal 2 when the pedal 2 is stepped on, and the first industrial computer is suitable for judging whether the pedal 2 corresponds to acceleration or braking at this time according to the pressure detected by the pressure sensor; the operating lever 5 is provided with a position sensor, and the position sensor is provided in the operating lever 5. The position sensor is suitable for detecting the change of the position of the operating lever 5, and the first industrial computer determines the corresponding operation mode of the agricultural machinery through the position of the operating lever 5; the first industrial computer is suitable for sending the direction and amplitude of the steering wheel 1, whether the pedal 2 corresponds to acceleration or braking at this time, and the corresponding operation mode of the agricultural machinery to the corresponding agricultural machinery through the first communication module; the steering wheel 1 can be used to control the direction of the agricultural machinery and the direction of the chassis vehicle, similar to the steering wheel 1 of driving an ordinary vehicle; when the operator turns the steering wheel 1, the built-in sensor of the steering wheel 1 (such as an angle sensor, etc.) will collect the rotation angle of the steering wheel 1 to determine the direction (left or right) and force (amplitude of rotation) of the control. The pedal 2 is usually divided into an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, both of which are connected to a pressure sensor. The accelerator pedal controls the forward speed of the agricultural machinery and the chassis vehicle, while the brake pedal and the chassis vehicle control deceleration and stopping; when the operator steps on the pedal 2, the pressure sensor will collect the applied force (i.e., the pressure on the pedal 2) and convert it into a speed or brake signal. The operating lever 5 can be used for lifting and lowering agricultural machinery, starting working tools, etc.; the operator pushes or pulls the operating lever 5, and the built-in position sensor (such as a photoelectric sensor, etc.) of the operating lever 5 will sense its position change and convert it into a corresponding command signal; when the operator needs to remotely and directly operate the agricultural machinery due to an abnormality of the agricultural machinery, the physical operation applied by the operator to the chassis vehicle (such as turning the steering wheel 1 and stepping on the pedal 2) is converted into an electrical signal through the built-in sensor of the steering wheel 1, the pressure sensor, and the built-in position sensor of the operating lever 5. Subsequently, these electrical signals will be transmitted to the first industrial computer of the chassis vehicle. As a central processing unit, the first industrial computer will digitally process these original signals and convert them into corresponding control instructions. After receiving these digital signals, the first industrial computer will first perform data processing and task analysis. The first industrial computer will calculate the steering angle and speed change of the agricultural machinery according to the rotation angle of the steering wheel 1, and determine the driving speed according to the strength of the stepped accelerator pedal. At the same time, the first industrial computer will integrate these data into a complete set of control instructions, and prepare to send the control instructions to the agricultural machinery through the first communication module; the processed control instructions will be transmitted to the unmanned agricultural machinery through the first communication module of the chassis vehicle. The signal is sent to the target agricultural machinery. This wireless signal transmission enables the operator to control multiple unmanned agricultural machinery from a remote location in the field.The unmanned agricultural machine receives control signals from the chassis vehicle through the second communication module. After passing through the second communication module, these signals are transmitted to the second industrial computer of the unmanned agricultural machine. The second industrial computer decodes and processes the received control signals; converts the received steering wheel 1 signal into a steering operation to adjust the driving direction of the unmanned agricultural machine; adjusts the speed of the unmanned agricultural machine or brakes according to the signal of the acceleration or brake pedal; the signal of the operating lever 5 will start or stop a specific agricultural machine operation tool. After processing the signal, the second industrial computer will directly control the various subsystems of the unmanned agricultural machine and perform corresponding operations. In addition to receiving and executing instructions from the chassis vehicle, the second industrial computer of the unmanned agricultural machine will also monitor the operation status of the agricultural machine in real time, and feed back this information to the chassis vehicle through the second communication module, including the current position of the agricultural machine, operation progress, equipment operation status, etc. The operator on the chassis vehicle can make corresponding adjustments or update the task plan based on this feedback information.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the chassis vehicle also includes: a display screen 3 electrically connected to the first industrial computer; the display screen 3 is suitable for displaying the tasks of the agricultural machinery and the status of task completion; the first industrial computer is provided with a vehicle-mounted interactive system, which can be displayed through the display screen 3, and the operation trajectory and operation status of the unmanned agricultural machinery (agricultural machinery) in the field can be displayed in real time. Users can monitor and adjust the operation of the agricultural machinery in real time through the vehicle-mounted interactive system.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the agricultural machinery includes: a second industrial computer, and a laser radar, a GPS module and a second communication module electrically connected to the second industrial computer; the second communication module is suitable for receiving work tasks sent by the chassis vehicle; the GPS module is suitable for detecting the position of the agricultural machinery, and the second industrial computer is suitable for controlling the agricultural machinery to travel according to the route in the work task based on the position detected by the GPS module; the laser radar is suitable for measuring distance during the driving of the agricultural machinery.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the agricultural machinery also includes: a camera and a posture sensor electrically connected to the second industrial computer; the camera is suitable for capturing images of the surrounding environment during the driving of the agricultural machinery, and the second industrial computer is suitable for avoiding collision of the agricultural machinery based on the image; the posture sensor is suitable for detecting the angle, speed and posture of the agricultural machinery; the second industrial computer is suitable for adjusting the agricultural machinery according to the angle, speed and posture to keep the agricultural machinery stable.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the agricultural machinery also includes: a measuring module electrically connected to the second industrial computer; the measuring module is suitable for detecting the number of seedlings in the agricultural machinery used for transplanting rice (rice transplanter), and the second industrial computer is suitable for judging the task completion status of the agricultural machinery according to the number of seedlings; and when the number of seedlings is less than a preset number, the agricultural machinery used for transplanting rice sends a signal to the chassis vehicle through the second communication module indicating the need to replenish seedlings, and the chassis vehicle sends a control signal to the agricultural machinery used for transporting seedlings (rice transporter), so that the agricultural machinery used for transporting seedlings transports the seedlings to the agricultural machinery used for transplanting rice.

[0064] Specifically, the unified control of multiple agricultural machinery can be that rice transplanters A, B, C and rice transporter D are equipped with laser radars to detect surrounding obstacles and distances to ensure that they can avoid obstacles during operation; laser radars accurately detect the environment through laser ranging technology, provide safe positions during operation, and help agricultural machinery to travel smoothly in different fields; cameras are used to monitor the working environment of the corresponding rice transplanters and rice transporters, and obtain visual information of the surroundings, especially in complex environments (such as ridges, ditches, etc.). The data from the cameras helps agricultural machinery make decisions to ensure that each rice transplanter and rice transporter can perceive the surrounding environment in real time during operation to avoid collision or misoperation; the GPS module provides accurate geographic location coordinates for rice transplanters and rice transporters to ensure that each agricultural machinery can operate according to the preset path released by the chassis vehicle. With the accurate longitude and latitude coordinates provided by the GPS module, rice transplanter A can automatically operate along the planned route in field E, and rice transporter D can accurately drive from the rice seedling supply station F to the field where rice transplanters A, B, and C are located according to demand. The attitude sensor is used to monitor the angle, speed and attitude of each agricultural machine to ensure that the rice transplanter and rice transporter can maintain stable operation in complex terrain (such as muddy and undulating fields). The attitude sensor data is used to correct and optimize the path to prevent deviations during the operation and ensure the continuity and stability of rice transplanting and rice transport. The control panel 4 of the chassis vehicle is equipped with a real-time map display function. The operator can see the geographical information of the entire farmland through GIS technology. The boundaries of the field, the current positions of each rice transplanter A, B, C and rice transporter D, and their task progress status will be marked on the map.

[0065] The operator first selects transplanter A, B, C or rice seedling transporter D to assign tasks through the control panel 4. Transplanters A, B, C are responsible for plots G, H, and I respectively, while plot F serves as a seedling supply station, and rice seedling transporter D is responsible for transporting the seedlings from plot F to each transplanting plot. Before the operation begins, the operator first clearly identifies the location and shape of each field through the GIS map interface of the chassis vehicle. Through the control panel 4, the operator clicks on field G, assigns transplanter A to the field, and generates a transplanting path to ensure that transplanter A can smoothly transplant from one end of the field to the other end. Similarly, the operator also plans respective operation routes for transplanters B and C to ensure that they can work independently without conflict, and sets specific operation parameters (such as transplanting depth and speed) for transplanters A, B, and C. The task of rice seedling transporter D is to transport seedlings for transplanters A, B, and C along the planned path. During the operation of transplanters A, B, C and transporter D, the chassis vehicle receives their real-time operation status and location information through the first communication module. The operation progress is displayed in real time through the display screen 3, such as the transplanting progress of transplanter A in field G, the use of seedlings, etc. During field operations, the laser radar and camera of the rice transplanter and rice transporter continuously detect the surrounding environment. The laser radar helps the rice transplanter avoid obstacles in the field through ranging technology, while the camera monitors the surrounding visual information, especially on the ridges or in places with complex terrain, to ensure that the agricultural machinery can make correct decisions. At the same time, the GPS module and attitude sensor ensure that the rice transplanter and rice transporter can strictly follow the planned path. The GPS module provides accurate geographic locations for rice transplanters A, B, C and rice transporter D, while the attitude sensor helps them maintain stable operation in complex fields by monitoring the angle and speed of agricultural machinery. When rice transplanter A is working in field G, its operation progress and status are displayed in real time on the display screen 3 of the chassis vehicle. The usage of seedlings is monitored by the object measurement module. If the seedlings in the seedling tray of transplanter A are about to run out, the object measurement module will immediately feedback this status to the chassis through the second communication module. At this time, the chassis will automatically send instructions to the seedling transporter D, notifying it to go to field G to replenish seedlings; after receiving the instructions, the seedling transporter D will quickly return to field F along the planned path for replenishment, and immediately return to field G to replenish seedlings for transplanter A after completion; the chassis dynamically adjusts the operation tasks according to the real-time feedback of various sensors and GPS module data; when transplanter A completes the operation task of field G, the chassis will automatically update the task, dispatch transplanter A to field H or field I, and re-plan a new operation path. If transplanter B encounters a problem in the operation of field H, such as a failure of the transplanting tool, the chassis vehicle will immediately receive fault feedback. At this time, the operator can manually dispatch transplanter A to field H to take over the transplanting task through the control panel 4 to ensure that the operation is not interrupted; at the same time, the rice seedling transporter D continues to deliver the seedlings from the supply station to the new operation area according to the needs of field H.Through real-time updating of tasks, the chassis can ensure efficient collaboration between multiple rice transplanters and rice transporters to avoid waste of resources. If rice transplanter A or rice transporter D cannot continue to operate due to equipment failure (such as a problem with the rice transplanting tool of rice transplanter A, or the fuel of rice transporter D is exhausted), the chassis will receive fault feedback through real-time monitoring, and the operator can manually adjust the task area through the control panel 4 and reallocate the task to other agricultural machinery; during the entire operation process, the chassis continuously tracks the status and progress of rice transplanters A, B, C and rice transporter D through real-time monitoring. According to the actual operation progress, rice seedling exhaustion or failure of each agricultural machinery, their tasks are dynamically adjusted. For example, when rice transplanter C completes its task in field I ahead of schedule, the control panel 4 can also automatically dispatch it to the area where the operation has not yet been completed to ensure efficient use of resources. If a major failure occurs during the operation and the rice transplanter A, B, C or the rice transporter D cannot continue to operate, the operator can exit the remote control mode through the control panel 4, switch to the local driving mode of the chassis vehicle, and directly drive the chassis vehicle 1 into the field for inspection or maintenance; in the field, the operator can use the control panel 4 of the chassis vehicle to manually intervene, restore or adjust the operation tasks of the agricultural machinery, and ensure the smooth completion of the entire operation process.

[0066] When there is a farmland that needs agricultural machinery operation, the user first selects the field area A to be operated. i , and give the operating radius W k , and according to the operating speed V of different agricultural machinery k , calculate their work efficiency E k , E k It can be expressed by the following formula:

[0067] E k =W k ×V k

[0068] Among them, k represents agricultural machinery k;

[0069] The work efficiency E is calculated by k After that, the operation time T of agricultural machinery can be calculated. k , T k It can be expressed by the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, i represents field i;

[0072] It can also be calculated by the fuel consumption per unit time F k and agricultural machinery power P k Calculate the operating cost of agricultural machinery C k , C k It can be expressed by the following formula:

[0073] C k =F k ·P k

[0074] The GPS module sends data information in 0183 protocol, parses the data in GPGGA format, extracts its longitude, latitude and altitude information, and converts the longitude, latitude and altitude into Cartesian coordinates (x GPS ,y GPS , z GPS )

[0075] R=R earth +h

[0076] x GPS =R·cos(latitude)·cos(longitude)

[0077] y GPS =R·cos(latitude)·sin(longitude)

[0078] z GPS = R sin(latitude)

[0079] In this way, the real-time position of the agricultural machinery can be obtained, so that the distance between the current position of the agricultural machinery and the position of the field can be calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Where (x goal ,y goal ) are the coordinates of the target field.

[0082] Comprehensive work efficiency E k , Operation time T k 、Activity cost C k and the distance h(n) between the current position of the agricultural machinery and the position of the field GPS ), calculate the optimal agricultural machinery allocation function ψ(k, A i ), which is calculated as follows:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, α 1 ,α 2 ,α 3 is the weight coefficient, which is used to balance the impact of various parameters on the matching degree. Their relationship is α 1 +α 2 +α 3 =1. If α 1The larger the value, the greater the impact of operating efficiency on decision-making, and the smaller the impact of other factors. i ) is used to comprehensively consider the operation time T k and activity cost C k , when ψ(k, A i ) is higher, the better the match between the agricultural machinery and the field, thus arranging the most suitable agricultural machinery work for the user.

[0085] LiDAR is used to detect obstacles in front of agricultural machinery and measure the distance to the obstacles. i and angle θ i LiDAR data can help agricultural machinery avoid obstacles and adjust the driving direction. i represents the distance between the agricultural machinery and the obstacle, θ i Indicates the angle of the obstacle relative to the agricultural machinery. The second industrial computer obtains the point cloud data of the radar, processes the radar data through the following formula, and converts it into coordinates (x i ,y i ), x i =d i ·cos(θ i )

[0086] y i =d i ·sin(θ i )

[0087] When the LiDAR detects an obstacle, it can trigger path replanning. Combined with the A* or Dijkstra algorithm, the optimal path to avoid obstacles is calculated. The distance cost function f(n) can be expressed as:

[0088] f(n)=g(n)+h(n)

[0089]

[0090] Where (x start ,y start ) is the current position coordinate of the agricultural machinery, and (x goal ,y goal ) is the coordinate of the target position of the agricultural machinery. The path with the smallest f(n) value, that is, the path with the lowest cost, is preferred to avoid obstacles and maintain efficiency as much as possible. g(n) represents the actual cost from the starting point to the current node, and h(n) is the heuristic estimate from the current node to the target node. The algorithm starts from the starting point, calculates the f(n) value of each possible path node, selects the node with the smallest f(n) for expansion, and continuously updates and selects the optimal path L. The path L is refined into n coordinate points: (x 1 ,y 1 )、(x 2 ,y2 )……(x j ,y j )……(x n ,y n ), the distance d between each point j , and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0092] IMU provides the acceleration of agricultural machinery k , calculate the current real-time speed v of the agricultural machinery k , v k It can be expressed by the following formula:

[0093] v k =v k-1 +a k Δt

[0094] If the agricultural machine approaches an obstacle, the speed can be adjusted according to the distance of the obstacle. When the obstacle is detected to be close, the speed v(s) should be reduced to avoid collision. The calculation formula of v(s) is as follows:

[0095]

[0096] Among them, d 0 is a preset safety distance, d obs is the distance between the agricultural machine and the obstacle. The time to bypass the obstacle can be calculated The calculation formula is as follows:

[0097]

[0098] Set a warning time T for the time to bypass obstacles threshold ,when When a remote assistance request is made.

[0099] When the first industrial computer of the chassis receives the remote request, it receives the hexadecimal signal of the CAN communication protocol sent by the steering wheel 1, extracts the hexadecimal signal and converts it into the steering wheel 1 rotation angle signal θ_steering, and similarly extracts the hexadecimal control signal sent by the pedal 2 and the joystick 5 using the CAN protocol. The first industrial computer converts it into the acceleration / deceleration pedal pressure signal P_velocity and the joystick 5 signal C_joystick, converts the θ_steering, P_velocity and C_joystick signals into JSON format signals, and sends the control signal through MQTT. The topic of the control signal is agriculture / control, and the composition of the message is

[0100] message={"command":"control","data":{"steering_angle":θ_steering,

[0101] "speed": P_velocity, "action": C_joystick}}, after receiving the corresponding signal, the second industrial computer of the agricultural machinery corresponds the signal to the respective topic, and converts the received signal into a hexadecimal signal through Can communication, and writes it to the control module to achieve the purpose of remote assistance.
