DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to examples so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0021] It should be understood that the terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 , this embodiment provides a farming platform adapted to complex terrains. The crossbeam 102 of the working platform 10 is a steel pipe, and a beam frame 101 is welded to the lower part thereof. The beam frame 101 has mounting holes reserved thereon for fixing farming components (such as a seeder, a loosening shovel, etc.). The ends of the crossbeam 102 and the beam frame 101 are fixedly connected to the end plate 103 by bolts.

[0023] In the steering support mechanism 30, the rotating drum 301 is a hollow cylinder, and its upper and lower ends are respectively connected to the upper seat body 401 and the lower seat body 402 through thrust bearings, so that the upper seat body 401 and the lower seat body 402 can rotate around the axis of the rotating drum 301. The swing arm 50 is an L-shaped structure, one end of which is hinged to the lower seat body 402 through a pin, and the other end is equipped with a wheel set 20. The rotating drum 301 located on the same side of the working platform is reinforced by an upper connecting plate 405 and a lower connecting plate 406.

[0024] The first telescopic cylinder 60 is a hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder end of which is hinged to the upper seat body 401, and the piston rod end is hinged to the middle of the swing arm 50. The pitch angle of the swing arm 50 is controlled by telescoping, thereby adjusting the height of the working platform 10 from the ground.

[0025] The second telescopic cylinder 80 is also a hydraulic cylinder, whose cylinder end is hinged to the end plate 103, and the piston rod end is hinged to the side wall of the lower seat body 402. When the second telescopic cylinder 80 is extended and retracted, it pushes the lower seat body 402 to drive the swing arm 50 and the wheel set 20 to swing horizontally around the axis of the rotating drum 301 to achieve steering adjustment.

[0026] The third telescopic cylinder 90 is a hydraulic push rod, which is vertically fixed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the rotating drum 301. When its piston rod is extended downward, it can support the ground and lift the wheel set 20 off the ground. At this time, it is more labor-saving to drive the steering through the second telescopic cylinder 80. During operation, the third telescopic cylinder 90 is retracted, and the wheel set 20 falls to the ground to bear the weight of the platform. Preferably, a detachable support foot is set at the piston rod end of the third telescopic cylinder 90 to increase the contact area with the ground.

[0027] An implementation process of the present invention is as follows: During normal farming operations, the third telescopic cylinder 90 is retracted, and the wheel set 20 is placed on the ground to bear the weight of the platform. According to the terrain and farming requirements, the first telescopic cylinder 60 is operated to adjust the height of the working platform 10 from the ground so that the farming components are in the best working position. The second telescopic cylinder 80 is operated to adjust the rotation direction of the wheel set 20 to be perpendicular to the length direction of the working platform 10, so that the working platform 10 can cross the cultivated land for efficient farming operations.

[0028] During the field transfer operation, when it is necessary to cross the field ridge or transfer on the road, the third telescopic cylinder 90 is operated to extend so that the supporting foot touches the ground and the wheel set 20 is off the ground. Then the second telescopic cylinder 80 is operated to adjust the rotation direction of the wheel set 20 to be parallel to the length direction of the working platform 10, and the turning operation is easily completed. After the third telescopic cylinder 90 is retracted, the working platform 10 can move smoothly along the field ridge or road.

[0029] When working on complex terrain, in areas with large steering resistance such as a lot of silt or thick soil, the third telescopic cylinder 90 is also operated to lift the wheel set 20 off the ground, and the second telescopic cylinder 80 is used to drive the steering. Since the ground friction is reduced, the steering is more labor-saving and efficient. When working on multi-obstacle terrain such as rice fields and terraces, the second telescopic cylinder 80 drives the folding arm structure 801 to increase the steering angle of the wheel set 20 to 90°, meeting the needs of switching the wheel set 20 from the horizontal tillage state to the longitudinal movement state when turning sharply in the field and transferring, and easily coping with complex terrain.

[0030] In one embodiment, in order to make the first telescopic cylinder automatically adjust and further adapt to different inclined ground slopes and other terrains, an inertial sensor unit is installed at the center of gravity of the work platform to monitor the pitch angle, roll angle and acceleration; TOF ranging sensors are arranged at the four corners of the platform with a range of 0.1-5m to scan the ground undulations in real time; strain gauge pressure transmitters are set at the inlet and outlet of the hydraulic cylinder with a range of 0 - 30MPa; The first telescopic cylinder is adjusted according to the following formula ΔH = Kp·θ + Kd.(dθ / dt) + Ki·∫θdt; ΔH is the adjustment amount of the telescopic cylinder, θ is the platform inclination angle, and the empirical coefficients are Kp=0.8, Kd=0.15, and Ki=0.05; When it is detected that the terrain slope is greater than 5°, that is, the platform angle change rate |dθ / dt|>5° / second, the compensation adjustment of the first telescopic cylinder is triggered, and the response time of the compensation adjustment is less than 200ms.

[0031] In this embodiment, during the farming operation, the inertial sensor unit on the working platform monitors the pitch angle, roll angle and acceleration of the platform in real time, the TOF ranging sensor scans the ground undulation in real time, and the strain gauge pressure transmitter monitors the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder inlet and outlet. When it is detected that the terrain slope meets the trigger condition (terrain slope>5°, that is, |dθ / dt|>5°), the control system will calculate the adjustment amount ΔH of the first telescopic cylinder according to the platform inclination angle θ according to the formula ΔH = Kp・θ + Kd.(dθ / dt) + Ki・∫θdt, and control the first telescopic cylinder to make compensatory adjustments within a time of <200ms to ensure the stability of the platform. At the same time, the steering of the wheel set can be achieved by controlling the second telescopic cylinder, and when necessary, the third telescopic cylinder can be controlled to extend to support the ground to lift the wheel set off the ground.

[0032] In another embodiment, a three-axis force sensor is installed on a tillage component (such as a tillage shovel) to collect tillage resistance Fx, Fy, and Fz in real time; Fx represents lateral tillage resistance, Fy represents longitudinal tillage resistance, and Fz represents vertical tillage resistance.

[0033] Establish the steering resistance torque model: τ = μ·( Fx ⋅ Lx + F ⋅ Lz ); Among them, μ is the soil friction coefficient, and its value range is 0.3-0.6. Lx is the lateral force arm, i.e. the horizontal distance from the handle of the loosening shovel to the steering axis, which can be taken as 0.5m in the example; LzIt is the vertical lever arm, i.e. the vertical distance from the tip of the loosening shovel to the steering axis, which can be taken as 0.2m in the example; different loosening shovel specifications or different tillage parts can be adjusted and set by themselves.

[0034] During the farming operation, the system will calculate the current steering resistance torque τ based on the real-time collected Fx and Fz values ​​combined with the pre-set μ, Lx and Lz values.

[0035] When the calculated steering resistance torque τ is greater than the set threshold value (e.g. 200Nm), the coordinated lifting operation of the third telescopic cylinder is automatically triggered. The telescopic cylinder adjustment amount ΔH3 of the third telescopic cylinder is calculated according to the formula ΔH3 = Klift⋅(τ - τ threshold), where the lifting coefficient Klift = 0.02 mm / N⋅m, and τ threshold is the set steering resistance torque threshold value (here 200Nm).

[0036] Based on the calculated ΔH3 value, the system accurately controls the third telescopic cylinder to perform the lifting action, thereby reducing the ground pressure of the wheelset by 20% - 40% and the steering friction torque by 35% - 60%, ultimately achieving smooth steering under high resistance conditions.

[0037] When the farming platform of this embodiment encounters high resistance conditions, it can automatically adjust the lifting amount of the third telescopic cylinder according to real-time farming resistance data, effectively reducing the ground pressure of the wheel group and the steering friction torque, making the platform smoother and more flexible during steering, reducing equipment wear and improving the efficiency and quality of farming operations.

[0038] The combination of the adjustment and control methods of the first telescopic cylinder and the third telescopic cylinder improves the passability on complex terrains such as sloping ridges, reduces the fluctuation of the tilth angle of the tillage platform, improves the uniformity of the tillage depth of the tillage components, and avoids the steering jamming and oscillation phenomenon of the tillage platform due to sudden changes in resistance.

[0039] In another embodiment, the second telescopic cylinder 80 is hinged to the lower seat body 402 through a folding arm structure 801; the cylinder end of the second telescopic cylinder 80 is hinged to the working platform 10, and the piston rod end is linked to the folding arm structure 801 through a short arm 805, and the short arm 805 is preferably not more than 15 cm. The first segment 802 and the second segment 803 of the folding arm structure 801 are rigid arms, and the two are movably connected at the middle hinge point 804 through a pin. The lower seat body 402 has two sets of spaced hinge ears on both sides, including a first hinge ear 403 and a second hinge ear 404, which are respectively hinged to the ends of the first segment 802 and the second segment 803 through a pin.

[0040] When the second telescopic cylinder 80 is extended and retracted, the short arm 805 pushes the middle hinge point 804, forcing the first segment 802 and the second segment 803 to fold or unfold around the hinge ear, thereby enlarging the swing stroke of the lower seat body 402. For example, when the second telescopic cylinder 80 is extended, the folding arm structure 801 is unfolded to drive the lower seat body 402 to swing to the left; when it is retracted, the folding arm structure 801 is folded to drive the lower seat body 402 to swing to the right. Compared with the direct-connected articulation of the telescopic cylinder, the folding arm structure 801 increases the steering angle of the wheel set 20, which can reach 90°, significantly enhances the small radius steering capability, and meets the needs of switching the wheel set 20 from the horizontal tillage state to the longitudinal movement state when making sharp turns and transferring in the field.

[0041] In actual operation, when it is necessary to pass through a narrow ridge, the second telescopic cylinder 80 is operated to turn the wheel set 20 to the longitudinal direction, and the third telescopic cylinder 90 is used to lift the platform to quickly complete the transition posture adjustment. This design breaks through the angle limitation of the traditional steering mechanism and is particularly suitable for multi-obstacle terrain such as rice fields and terraces.

[0042] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 , a double-degree-of-freedom elastic damping module is added at the middle hinge point 804 of the folding arm structure 801, and the module includes an axial disc spring group 808 and a radial polyurethane buffer ring 810, wherein: The preload force of the disc spring group 808 is set to 1.2-1.5 times the maximum thrust of the folding arm structure 801, and is used to absorb the axial impact when the second telescopic cylinder 80 is in motion. The disc spring group 808 is axially symmetrically arranged along the pin 806 of the middle hinge point 804, and is located between the flanges 807 at both ends of the pin 806 and the end faces of the shaft holes of the first segment 802 and the second segment 803 of the folding arm. An anti-rotation key is provided to prevent the spring group from rotating. Each group of springs is composed of 5-8 disc springs stacked together and fixed by preload bolts 809.

[0043] The buffer ring 810 has a hardness of 60~80±5 Shore A, which can provide radial buffering when the folding arm structure 801 moves, reduce vibration and impact in the radial direction, and resist and buffer the radial deviation generated by the hinge hole and the pin 806. The buffer ring 810 is nested in the middle hinge point 804 and is located in the hinge hole gap between the first segment 802 and the second segment 803. The inner diameter of the buffer ring 810 is interference fit with the pin 806 (interference amount 0.1-0.3mm), and the outer diameter is clearance fit with the hinge hole (clearance 0.5-1mm).

[0044] In this embodiment, the embedded controller (ECU) collects data of the folding arm angle sensor and the hydraulic pressure sensor of the second telescopic cylinder 80 in real time; when it is detected that the folding arm deployment angle is greater than 130°, the flow rate of the hydraulic pump 70 of the second telescopic cylinder 80 is automatically reduced to 70% of the set value, and the preload force of the disc spring group 808 is triggered to be released in stages, and the buffering capacity of the disc spring group 808 is gradually adjusted to adapt to the working conditions.

[0045] Traditional hinged structures have linear force limitations. This embodiment uses the design of an elastic damping module. When the folding arm is unfolded, the pin 806 is subjected to axial tension, and the disc spring is further compressed to absorb the impact; when it is contracted, the spring rebounds to release energy, suppressing vibration and solving the steering drift problem caused by nonlinear interference of the folding arm.

[0046] In another embodiment, two rows of vertically extending oblong holes are symmetrically opened on both sides of the end plate 103 as adjustment holes, and each row contains 3-30 holes. A connecting plate is welded to the outside of the rotating cylinder 301 of the steering support mechanism 30, and a through hole corresponding to the adjustment hole is opened on the connecting plate. During installation, the bolts pass through the adjustment hole and the through hole of the connecting plate in turn and are locked by nuts.

[0047] When the overall height of the working platform 10 from the ground needs to be adjusted, the bolts can be loosened, the steering support mechanism 30 can be vertically moved to the target position along the adjustment hole, and then re-tightened. For example, when working in soft fields, the installation height of the steering support mechanism 30 can be lowered to lower the center of gravity of the platform; when replacing large farming components, the installation height can be raised to avoid interference. The adjustment hole is preferably a waist-shaped hole, which is convenient for fine-tuning the height and then positioning.

[0048] In another embodiment, the swing arm 50 is provided with a connecting seat 502 and an articulated arm 501, wherein the connecting seat 502 is used for articulating with the lower seat body 402, and the articulated arm 501 is used for articulating with the first telescopic cylinder 60. Preferably, the connecting seat 502 and the main body of the swing arm 50 are integrally formed to ensure the stability and integrity of the structure. The connecting seat 502 is designed with a positioning pin hole 503 and an articulated shaft installation position for articulating with the lower seat body 402, so that the swing arm 50 is smoother and more flexible when rotating around the lower seat body 402. At the same time, the swing arm 50 is also provided with an articulated arm 501 adapted to the piston rod end of the first telescopic cylinder 60. The articulated arm 501 is arranged on the upper part of the connecting seat 502 and is hinged to the piston rod end of the first telescopic cylinder 60 through the hole, providing an additional mechanical support point for the entire swing arm 50, so that the first telescopic cylinder 60 can push the swing arm 50 connected to the wheel group 20 to swing up and down, thereby adjusting the support height. Preferably, the articulated arm 501 is welded and fixed to the swing arm 50 and the connecting seat 502 to increase the structural strength and further enhance the stability of the swing arm 50 under complex force conditions.

[0049] Furthermore, a limit block is provided at the hinge of the short arm 805 and the middle hinge point 804 to constrain the maximum expansion angle of the folding arm structure 801 to not exceed 150° to avoid mechanical interference. The hinge ears, folding arm structure 801 and the hinge point of the short arm 805 all use self-lubricating bearings to ensure flexibility in harsh field conditions.

[0050] In another embodiment, the cross beam 102 is welded into a sealed structure by rectangular steel pipes, a hydraulic oil chamber is formed inside the cross beam 102, an oil filling port and an oil level observation window are provided on the top, and the bottom is connected to the hydraulic pump 70 through an oil circuit. The hydraulic pump 70 is preferably fixed on the outside of the end plate 103. The oil circuit includes a hard oil pipe and a hose, wherein the hard oil pipe is embedded in the inner cavity of the cross beam 102, and the hose is arranged along the beam frame 101 and connected to the oil inlet and outlet of each telescopic cylinder respectively.

[0051] During operation, the hydraulic pump 70 pressurizes the hydraulic oil in the crossbeam 102 and delivers it to the first telescopic cylinder 60, the second telescopic cylinder 80 and the third telescopic cylinder 90 to achieve the following coordinated control: The first telescopic cylinder 60 telescopes and adjusts the pitch angle of the swing arm 50 to control the height of the platform from the ground; The second telescopic cylinder 80 telescopically drives the folding arm structure 801 to expand the steering angle of the wheel set 20; The third telescopic cylinder 90 is telescopically supported on the ground, and the auxiliary wheel set 20 is off the ground and turned.

[0052] Preferably, a filter is provided in the hydraulic oil chamber of the crossbeam 102 to purify the hydraulic oil; a hydraulic control valve group is integrated on the end plate 103, and the movement of each telescopic cylinder is remotely controlled by an electric control handle. This design embeds the hydraulic system into the working platform to prevent the external oil pipe from being entangled by field debris, and uses the metal structure of the crossbeam 102 as a radiator to prevent the hydraulic oil from overheating.

[0053] During operation, the hydraulic pump 70 continuously draws oil from the cross beam 102 and circulates it. The hard pipe section of the oil circuit reduces pressure loss, and the hose section adapts to the swing of the steering support mechanism 30. Compared with the independent oil tank solution, the design of this embodiment saves space and reduces maintenance frequency, and is particularly suitable for dusty and humid farmland environments.

[0054] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and the embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily realized.
