Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seed drill control, and in particular to a seeding depth control device and method for synchronous single-body movement in corn no-till seeding. Background Art

[0002] Appropriate sowing depth has a vital impact on seed germination and seedling growth. If seeds are sown too deep, they will need to expend excessive energy to break through the thick soil layer when emerging, which may make it difficult for seedlings to emerge or even rot in the soil due to energy depletion. If seeds are sown too shallowly, they may not receive sufficient water supply, making it difficult for them to take root firmly and being greatly affected by the external environment. For example, they may be easily dried out by the wind and pecked by birds, which is not conducive to the smooth germination of seeds and the subsequent healthy growth of seedlings. Sowing depth control is one of the important indicators of precision sowing technology and an important basis for judging the appropriate seed depth and agronomic requirements of crop sowing. Accurate sowing depth is one of the important means to improve crop yields. Currently, there are two main types of sowing depth control: active control and passive control. Passive control mainly relies on the contouring structure and depth-limiting wheel of the sowing unit to adjust the sowing depth. It can be used to maintain the target sowing depth, but it does not achieve autonomous control. The problem that the consistency of sowing depth is easily affected by field topography remains unresolved. Active control mainly relies on air pressure or hydraulic pressure, air springs, electric push rods, etc. in conjunction with sensors to achieve automatic sowing depth control. This allows the sowing depth to be adjusted under certain terrain conditions.

[0003] At present, the current corn no-till seeding depth control system is easily affected by the field environment in actual application, especially when operating in terrain such as slopes and gullies, it has the disadvantages of low detection accuracy and slow response speed. Moreover, the seeding equipment will tilt with the terrain due to the influence of the traction equipment, which will also affect the seeding of the seeder. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] Refer to the attached Figure 1-2 and Figure 7-9A sowing depth control device for corn no-till sowing with synchronized single-body movement, comprising a sowing depth detection system, a traction frame 5, a transverse tube 4, a plurality of contoured depth-limiting wheels 3, and a plurality of sowing units 1 with a mechanical parallelepiped contouring structure, further comprising a longitudinal adjustment mechanism corresponding to the sowing units 1, which is fixedly connected between the sowing units 1 and the transverse tube 4 and adjusts the lateral height of the sowing units 1 by varying the height, thereby adjusting the sowing depth according to the terrain;

[0043] The specifically designed longitudinal adjustment mechanism includes a shell 2, in which a single fixed guide block 21 is slidably connected, and a plurality of guide posts 20 are sleeved on the side walls of the single fixed guide block 21 through guide holes. The multiple guide posts 20 are all fixed in the shell 2. The guide posts 20 cooperate with the single fixed block 21 to limit the moving direction of the sowing unit 1 and provide sufficient traction stability. One side of the shell 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the cross tube 4. A circular hole is provided at the lower end of the shell 2. The hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixed to the lower end of the shell 2. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8 passes through the circular hole and is fixedly connected to the center of the lower end of the single fixed guide block 21. Here, the piston-type hydraulic cylinder 8 with model FA50-stroke 100 is used to directly drive the single fixed guide block 21 to move up and down;

[0044] One side of the shell 2 is provided with two rectangular holes 22, and guide blocks 23 are slidably connected in the two rectangular holes 22. The two guide blocks 23 are fixedly connected to a rectangular plate 24. One side of the rectangular plate 24 is fitted with the side wall of the shell 2. The rectangular plate 24 can be used to block the rectangular holes 22, thereby reducing the entry of dust into the shell 2 and preventing dust from causing wear between the guide column 20 and the monomer fixed guide block 21. The other side of the rectangular plate 24 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat of the sowing monomer 1 by bolts. An opening is provided on the side of the shell 2 away from the sowing monomer 1, and the opening is fixedly connected to an end cover 7 by bolts. The end cover 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the cross tube 4;

[0045] The main control microcontroller model is STM32F103RCT6, which can control the automatic regulation of the sowing depth hydraulic active control device module according to the detection value of the sowing depth detection system. When the furrowing depth of the furrow opener exceeds the target set value, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is controlled to extend and drive the single fixed guide block 21 to move the entire sowing unit 1 upward, reducing the furrowing depth before sowing. Conversely, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is controlled to retract and drive the single fixed guide block 21 to move the entire sowing unit 1 downward, increasing the furrowing depth. The sowing depth control device will not affect the parallel four-bar profiling mechanism to follow the terrain profiling. The sowing depth control device and the four-bar profiling mechanism interact with each other to jointly ensure the furrowing depth stability and sowing depth consistency of the furrow opener.

[0046] Figure 9The diagram shows the sowing effect of multiple sowing units 1 on a slope. In this case, the hydraulic cylinders 8 configured separately for the multiple sowing units 1 can be used to enable each sowing unit 1 to operate according to a preset sowing depth.

[0047] A lateral adjustment mechanism is also provided, which is installed between the transverse tube 4 and the traction frame 5, and the sowing depth of multiple sowing units 1 on the steep slope is adjusted by adjusting the parallelism between the transverse tube 4 and the ground;

[0048] The specifically provided transverse adjustment mechanism includes a rectangular tube 6, which is fixed to the traction frame 5, and a main shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the tube wall of the rectangular tube 6 through a rolling bearing. One end of the main shaft 18 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 14, and the fixing frame 14 is fixedly connected to the tube wall center of the cross tube 4. The main shaft 18 is used to realize the movable connection between the rectangular tube 6 and the cross tube 4, so that the cross tube 4 can swing in the transverse direction with the main shaft 18 as the axis. Two arc rods 13 are sleeved on the tube wall of the rectangular tube 6 through an arc hole, and both ends of the two arc rods 13 are fixedly connected to a bracket 19, which is fixed to the tube wall of the cross tube 4. The two arc rods 13 play a role in increasing the stability of traction and reducing the wear between the main shaft 18 and the rolling bearing. Some rollers can be added between the arc rod 13 and the rectangular tube 6 to reduce the friction between the arc rod 13 and the rectangular tube, or other auxiliary lubrication components can be set. The existing technology can be used here and will not be described in detail.

[0049] The arc-shaped rack 12 is fixedly connected to the rod wall of the arc-shaped rod 13, and a notch is provided on one side of the arc-shaped hole to match the arc-shaped rack 12. A gear 26 is meshed on one side of the arc-shaped rack 12. The hydraulic motor 11 is fixed to the wall of the rectangular tube 6. The output shaft of the hydraulic motor 11 extends into the rectangular tube 6 and is fixedly connected to one side of the gear 26. One end of the main shaft 18 passes through the rolling bearing and is sleeved with a fixed plate 16. A protrusion is provided on one side of the fixed plate 16, and the protrusion is sleeved. There is a pressure plate 15, which is fixed to the wall of the rectangular tube 6 by bolts. A plurality of spline grooves are provided on the shaft wall of the main shaft 18, and a plurality of spline teeth are provided on the side wall of the pressure plate 15 that match the spline grooves. The side wall of the pressure plate 15 is sleeved with a fixing screw 17 through a circular mouth, and one end of the main shaft 18 is connected to the fixing screw 17 through a threaded hole. The pressure plate 15 and the fixed plate 16 can be used to position one end of the main shaft 18, thereby increasing the axial stability of the main shaft 18.

[0050] Because when sowing on an inclined ground, the tractor, the frame of the seeder and the multiple sowing units 1 are all in an inclined state, and the frame of a traditional seeder cannot be adjusted to the level. Therefore, the above technical solution uses the hydraulic motor 11 to directly drive the gear 26 to make the arc rod 13 swing with the main shaft 18 as the axis. The swing of the arc rod 13 drives the cross tube 4 to swing to a posture parallel to the horizontal plane using the bracket 19, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the vertical postures of multiple sowing units 1. Then, on the inclined ground, the posture of the sowing unit 1 is first adjusted to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and then the vertical position of the sowing unit 1 is adjusted by the longitudinal adjustment mechanism to independently adjust the sowing depth. In this way, the sowing unit 1 can always be in a vertical state during sowing, without affecting the stable seeding of the seed meter of the sowing unit 1. Secondly, the lateral adjustment mechanism can be selectively closed.

[0051] The sowing depth detection system of the present technical solution controls the movement of the longitudinal adjustment mechanism through the multiple hydraulic cylinders 8, and controls the movement of the lateral adjustment mechanism through the hydraulic motor 11. The sowing depth detection system is specifically composed of a main control microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor measurement module, a reference panel 10, a hydraulic station 9 and an electronic gyroscope 25. The ultrasonic sensor measurement module is composed of an ultrasonic sensor and a fixing frame. The box body of the ultrasonic sensor is installed on the fixing frame. A detection hole is opened at the bottom of the box body. The size of the detection hole can enable the ultrasonic sensor probe to extend. The fixing frame is installed on the sowing unit 1. The electronic gyroscope 25 is installed on the wall of the horizontal tube 4. The reference panel 10 is provided with a signal receiving module for receiving the signal emitted by the ultrasonic sensor. The signal receiving module can feed back the received ultrasonic sensor signal and the signal of the electronic gyroscope 25 to the main control microcontroller. The other software and control algorithms configured in this system adopt existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0052] The above method for regulating the sowing depth using hydraulic components includes the following steps:

[0053] Step 1: Move the control device to the land to be tested after the field test and install the device on the planter according to the instructions;

[0054] Step 2: Initialize the system components, including the wireless receiving module, the corresponding I / O of the MCU, the initial position of the sowing depth control device, and the horizontal posture. Then, set a sowing depth target value for the MCU. ;

[0055] Step 3: Start the seed drill and activate the active seeding depth control device, the electronic gyroscope 25 and the ultrasonic sensor;

[0056] Step 4: The main controller of the main control microcontroller receives the broadcast depth acquisition information from the host computer through the wireless communication module , compare the host computer broadcast depth acquisition value and seeding depth target value The size of the sapling is used to determine the sowing depth;

[0057] Step 5: The main control microcontroller sends a command to make the sowing depth control device adjust the distance to The D / A converter then converts It is converted into an analog signal and sent to the hydraulic solenoid valve to control the extension and contraction of the hydraulic cylinder 8.

[0058] The electronic gyroscope 25 is used to detect the yaw angular velocity of the cross tube 4 in real time. The single-chip microcomputer receives the signal output by the electronic gyroscope 25. Based on the result of the threshold judgment, the single-chip microcomputer generates corresponding control instructions for the control system. The control instructions are transmitted to the electromagnetic reversing valve, a key control component in the hydraulic system. The electromagnetic reversing valve controls the execution software of the control device to adjust the posture of the sowing depth control device.
