Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of grain loss monitoring, and in particular to a wheat harvest loss monitoring system and method. Background Technology

[0002] During mechanized wheat harvesting, grain loss mainly includes incomplete threshing, cleaning losses, missed cuts by the header, and grain breakage. Current technologies for loss monitoring largely rely on manual sampling or single-sensor detection, which suffers from poor real-time performance, low accuracy, and the inability to dynamically adjust operating parameters. Furthermore, the complex wheat harvesting environment (vibration, dust, and interference from various impurities) makes traditional sensors susceptible to interference, leading to significant monitoring errors. Therefore, a high-precision, real-time monitoring system with automatic control is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

The loss risk heat map is imported into the harvester navigation system to prioritize the harvesting of high-risk areas. The multimodal sensor array includes a piezoelectric grain sensor and an image sensor; Piezoelectric grain sensor: Installed at the tail of the cleaning screen, it uses vibration isolation devices (such as rubber pads) to reduce mechanical vibration interference and detects grain impact signals through piezoelectric elements; Image sensors: deployed at the header and threshing exit, using deep learning algorithms to identify missed ears of wheat and damaged grains; The intelligent control module includes a loss rate calculation unit and a parameter optimization unit; The loss rate calculation unit calculates the loss rate for each sampling area for rice, wheat, and corn grain harvesting according to the following formula:

[0005] In the formula: S—loss rate, in terms of %; W—grain loss of rice (corn, wheat) in the sampling area, in terms of grams; M—grain yield of rice (corn, wheat) per unit area, in terms of kilograms per mu; L is taken as 2 meters or the working width of a commonly used combine harvester in the local area, in terms of meters; The parameter optimization unit is used to establish a mapping model between the loss rate and operating parameters (such as threshing gap, sieve opening, and fan air volume), and automatically adjusts the harvester parameters through a PID controller; The human-machine interface terminal displays real-time loss rate, operational parameter suggestions, and alarm information, and supports data export and analysis. The drone monitoring module scans the field, identifies lodged areas and high-density areas, and generates a "loss risk heat map." This heat map is imported into the harvester navigation system to prioritize harvesting high-risk areas. A piezoelectric grain sensor is installed at the tail of the cleaning screen, using vibration isolation devices (such as rubber pads) to reduce mechanical vibration interference and detecting grain impact signals through piezoelectric elements. Image sensors are deployed at the header and threshing outlet, using deep learning algorithms to identify missed ears of wheat and damaged grains. The loss rate calculation unit calculates the loss rate for each sampling area according to a formula. The parameter optimization unit establishes a mapping model between the loss rate and operational parameters (such as threshing gap, screen opening, and fan airflow), automatically adjusting harvester parameters through a PID controller. The human-machine interface terminal displays real-time loss rate, operational parameter suggestions, and alarm information, and supports data export and analysis, achieving a high-precision, real-time, and automatically adjustable monitoring system.

[0006] Preferably, the multimodal sensor array further includes a header height sensor, a reel speed sensor, and a travel speed sensor, which work together to collect operating parameters in real time.

In use, the multiple sets of propellers are operated to rotate, causing the drone body to take off. During takeoff, the crop lodging monitoring component automatically extends to the outside of the housing and identifies lodged areas and high-density areas, generating a heat map of loss risk. After use, the drone body lands, and the base plate and support rods work together to provide stable support for the drone body. Simultaneously, the crop lodging monitoring component automatically enters the housing for storage, improving safety and convenience.

[0014] A method for monitoring wheat harvesting loss includes the following steps: Step 1: Data collection and preprocessing Piezoelectric sensors capture grain impact signals, image sensors identify missed cut wheat ears and damaged grains, and environmental sensors synchronously collect parameters such as header height and traveling speed; Wavelet transform is used to remove high-frequency noise, and the grain signal and straw signal are separated through adaptive filtering; Step 2: Real-time calculation of loss rate Determine single-grain or multi-grain impact based on the pulse interval time of piezoelectric signals: If the pulse interval time t < ams, it is determined as single grain; If the total duration T > bms, accumulate multi-grain loss according to N = N + ⌊T / b⌋; Combined with the missed cut rate and breakage rate identified by image recognition, comprehensively calculate the total loss rate; Step 3: Dynamic regulation When the loss rate exceeds the threshold (such as > 1.2%), the control module automatically adjusts parameters: Increase the rotational speed of the threshing cylinder and reduce the threshing gap; Lower the header height to 5 - 15 cm, and optimize the speed ratio of the reel (α = 1.1 ∼ 1.2 × v traveling); Adjust the opening of the cleaning sieve and the air volume of the fan to balance the impurity content rate and cleaning loss; Step 4: Calibration and verification Calibrate the sensor sensitivity under a simulated vibration environment; During field operation, regularly compare with the results of manual sampling to calibrate the monitoring accuracy.

Each set of support rods 103 is provided with a base plate 104 at its bottom. The housing 105 is installed at the bottom of the drone body 101 and also includes a crop lodging monitoring component. The crop lodging monitoring component is installed inside the housing 105. The crop lodging monitoring component includes a rotating shaft 201, a multispectral camera 202, a lidar 203, gears 204, an optical bar 205, a sliding rod 206, a lifting plate 207, a rack 208, a spring 209, a limiting plate 210, and a support plate 211. The support plate 211 is rotatably mounted on the bottom inner side of the housing 105 with the cooperation of the rotating shaft 201. The support plate 211 seals the bottom of the housing 105. A set of multispectral cameras 202 and a set of lidar 203 are respectively installed at the top of the support plate 211. A set of gears 204 are installed at each end of the rotating shaft 201. 4. Two sets of optical bars 205 are provided between the main body 101 of the drone and the base plate 104. A sliding rod 206 is slidably connected to the base plate 104. A rack 208 is provided at the top of the sliding rod 206. The rack 208 meshes with the gear 204. A lifting plate 207 is provided at the top of the rack 208. The lifting plate 207 is slidably connected to the two sets of optical bars 205. A limiting plate 210 is provided on the sliding rod 206. The limiting plate 210 is slidably connected to the two sets of optical bars 205. A set of springs 209 is respectively fitted on the outside of each set of optical bars 205. The springs 209 are all above the lifting plate 207. It also includes a locking assembly, which is provided between the housing 105 and the support plate 211; The locking assembly includes a fixing block 301, a socket 302, a fixing seat 303, and a wing bolt 304.

[0021] In this embodiment, when not in use, the drone body 101 lands on the ground. The weight of the drone body 101 causes the slide bar 206 to rise, thereby raising the rack 208. Since the rack 208 meshes with the gear 204, the support plate 211 rotates 180 degrees, allowing the multispectral camera 202 and the lidar 203 to enter the housing 105. When the multiple propellers 102 rotate, the drone body 101 takes off. The lifting plate 207, under the action of the spring 209, causes the rack 208 to move downward, thereby causing the gear 204 to rotate 180 degrees, further moving the multispectral camera 202 and the lidar 203 below the support plate 211, so that the multispectral camera 202 and the lidar 203 can perform field scanning. The multispectral camera 202 and lidar 203 are stored and moved around by the take-off and landing of the main body of the drone 101. The multispectral camera 202 and lidar 203 identify lodged areas and high-density areas and generate a "loss risk heat map". The loss risk heat map is imported into the harvester navigation system to prioritize the harvesting of high-risk areas. The piezoelectric grain sensor is installed at the tail of the cleaning screen. It uses a vibration isolation device (such as a rubber pad) to reduce mechanical vibration interference and detects the grain impact signal through the piezoelectric element. Image sensors are deployed at the header and threshing exit to identify missed ears of wheat and damaged grains based on deep learning algorithms; The loss rate calculation unit calculates the loss rate of each sampling area for wheat harvesting according to the formula. The parameter optimization unit is used to establish a mapping model between the loss rate and operating parameters (such as threshing gap, sieve opening, and fan air volume), and automatically adjusts the harvester parameters through the PID controller. The human-machine interaction terminal displays the real-time loss rate, operating parameter suggestions, and alarm information, and supports data export and analysis, realizing a high-precision, real-time, and automatically adjustable monitoring system.

[0022] Example 2 The present invention provides a method for monitoring wheat harvest loss, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Data acquisition and preprocessing. The piezoelectric sensor captures the grain impact signal, the image sensor identifies the missed cut wheat ears and damaged grains, and the environmental sensor synchronously collects parameters such as the header height and traveling speed; Wavelet transform is used to remove high-frequency noise, and the grain signal and the stalk signal are separated by adaptive filtering; Step 2: Real-time calculation of the loss rate Determine single or multiple grain impacts based on the pulse interval time of the piezoelectric signal: If the pulse interval time t < a ms, it is determined as single grain; If the total duration T > b ms, the multiple grain loss is accumulated as N = N + ⌊T / b⌋; Combined with the missed cut rate and breakage rate identified by image recognition, the total loss rate is comprehensively calculated; Step 3: Dynamic regulation When the loss rate exceeds the threshold (such as > 1.2%), the control module automatically adjusts the parameters: Increase the threshing cylinder speed and reduce the threshing gap; Lower the header height to 5 - 15 cm and optimize the reel speed ratio (α = 1.1 ∼ 1.2 × v traveling); Adjust the cleaning sieve opening and the fan air volume to balance the impurity content rate and the cleaning loss; Step 4: Calibration and verification Calibrate the sensor sensitivity under a simulated vibration environment; During field operation, regularly compare with the results of manual sampling to calibrate the monitoring accuracy.

Multimodal fusion monitoring: Combining piezoelectric sensing and image recognition to take into account the full-dimensional detection of grain loss, missed cut, and breakage; 2. Adaptive signal processing: The dynamic threshold algorithm and wavelet filtering improve the signal accuracy in complex environments; 3. Intelligent closed-loop control: Construct a regulation model based on policy standards and historical data to achieve automatic optimization of minimizing the loss rate; 4. The real-time monitoring accuracy is improved to over 95%, far exceeding manual sampling (error ±20%); 5. Through automatic regulation, the loss rate can be reduced to below 1.0%; 6. Reduce the dependence on the operator's experience and adapt to different wheat varieties and field conditions.

[0024] The wheat harvest loss monitoring system and method of the present invention can be installed, connected or set up in a common mechanical manner, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.
