[0021] This invention provides a device for monitoring the impurity content and breakage rate of grains. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a grain impurity and breakage monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a front cross-sectional view of a grain impurity and breakage monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional side view schematic diagram of a grain impurity and breakage rate monitoring device provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a top cross-sectional view of a grain impurity and breakage monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1-4 The monitoring device includes: Grain collection module 1, image acquisition module 2, sensor module 3, and control module 4; The grain collection module 1 includes: a grain sampling trough 11, a grain feeding device 12, a grain discharging device 13, a feeding motor 14, and a discharging motor 15; the grain sampling trough 11 is located at one end of the impurity and breakage rate monitoring device; the grain feeding device 12 is located at the grain inlet 16 of the grain sampling trough 11, and the grain feeding device 12 is electrically connected to the feeding motor 14; the grain discharging device 13 is located at the grain outlet 17 of the grain sampling trough 11, and the grain discharging device 13 is electrically connected to the discharging motor 15; the control module 4 is electrically connected to the feeding motor 14, the discharging motor 15, the sensor module 3, and the image acquisition module 2. The control module 4 is used to send the feed inlet opening information to the feed motor 14 so as to control the grain feeding device 12 to open through the feed motor 14 so that the grains can be naturally stacked in the grain sampling trough 11. Sensor module 3 is used to detect in real time whether the grain has reached the preset quantitative position, and when the grain reaches the preset quantitative position, it sends quantitative position arrival information to control module 4; The control module 4 is used to send a feed inlet closing signal to the feed motor 14 based on the quantitative position arrival information, so as to control the grain feeding device 12 to close through the feed motor 14, and send image acquisition information to the image acquisition module 2; Image acquisition module 2 is used to acquire information based on images, take pictures of the grain stacks, and transmit the grain stack pictures to control module 4; The control module 4 is used to determine the impurity rate and breakage rate of the grain based on the grain stack image, and at the same time send a discharge port opening signal to the discharge motor 15 so that the grain discharge device 13 can be opened through the discharge motor 15 to discharge the grain.

[0022] To further improve the applicability of the impurity and breakage rate monitoring device, the grain sampling trough 11 was structurally optimized to reduce its size, addressing potential blockages during wheat conveying. The control module 4, based on an embedded processor, integrates a dedicated neural network acceleration unit to perform real-time calculations of complex algorithm models, i.e., real-time calculations of impurity and breakage rates. The sensor module 3 may include a feed valve opening sensor corresponding to the grain feeding device 12 and a discharge valve opening sensor corresponding to the grain discharging device 13. These sensors acquire real-time feed and discharge valve opening information and transmit it to the control module 4, enabling precise control of the feed valve opening of the grain feeding device 12 and the discharge valve opening of the grain discharging device 13 through the control module 4.

[0023] Specifically, when it is necessary to monitor the impurity and breakage rates of the grain being transported by the combine harvester, the impurity and breakage rate monitoring device is activated to ensure its normal operation. When the material flows through the feed inlet, the sensor module 3 is triggered to send material arrival information to the control module 4. At this time, the control module 4 sends a feed inlet opening signal to the feed motor 14, which controls the grain feeding device 12 to open, allowing the grain being transported by the combine harvester to naturally stack in the grain sampling trough 11. Simultaneously, the control sensor module 3 continuously monitors whether the grain has reached the preset quantitative position, which can be set according to actual conditions. When it detects that the naturally stacked grain has reached the preset quantitative position, it sends quantitative position arrival information to the control module 4. After receiving the quantitative position arrival information from the sensor module 3, the control module 4 sends a feed inlet closing signal to the feed motor 14, which controls the grain feeding device 12 to close, preventing excessive naturally stacked grain from causing blockage. After the grain feeding device 12 is closed by controlling the feeding motor 14, image acquisition information is sent to the image acquisition module 2 to control the image acquisition module 2 to capture an image of the grain stack and transmit the image back to the control module 4. The control module 4 then calculates the impurity rate and breakage rate of the grain based on the grain stack image and simultaneously sends a discharge port opening signal to the discharge motor 15 to control the grain discharge device 13 to open and discharge the stacked grain. After a first preset time period of discharging the stacked grain, the control module 4 continues to send a feed port opening signal to the feeding motor 14 to control the grain feeding device 12 to open and begin the next sampling cycle, thereby achieving real-time updates of the impurity rate and breakage rate.

[0024] After receiving an image of the grain stack, control module 4 uses a deep learning-based detection model. This model employs a multi-task learning architecture to simultaneously identify impurities and broken grains. The detection model reduces computational redundancy through feature optimization, enhances feature extraction of small targets using an attention mechanism, and improves the accuracy of stacked material recognition by combining multi-scale feature fusion technology. To address the occlusion problem of materials in their natural state, a spatial context modeling method is used to enhance the representation of local features. Furthermore, the detection model output undergoes temporal filtering to eliminate random errors in single-frame detection and improve the stability of the detection results. After identifying impurities and broken grains, a dynamic compensation algorithm is used to adaptively adjust detection parameters based on material flow characteristics, establishing an accurate quantity-content mapping relationship to achieve precise calculation of the impurity and breakage rates of the grains. The system also possesses a self-learning function, capable of optimizing model parameters based on historical detection data to continuously improve detection accuracy.

[0025] The impurity and breakage rate monitoring device provided in this embodiment of the invention sends an inlet opening signal to the feeding motor 14 via the control module 4, so that the feeding motor 14 controls the grain feeding device 12 to open, allowing the grain to naturally stack in the grain sampling trough 11. The sensor module 3 detects in real time whether the grain has reached the preset quantitative position, and when the grain reaches the preset quantitative position, it sends quantitative position arrival information to the control module 4. The control module 4 sends an inlet closing signal to the feeding motor 14 based on the quantitative position arrival information, so that the feeding motor 14 controls the grain feeding device 12 to close, and sends image acquisition information to the image acquisition module 2. The image acquisition module 2 takes a picture of the grain stack based on the image acquisition information and transmits the grain stack picture to the control module, so that the control module 4 can determine the impurity and breakage rate of the grain based on the grain stack picture, and at the same time sends an outlet opening signal to the discharge motor 15, so that the discharge motor 15 controls the grain discharge device 13 to open and discharge the grain, thus realizing the automatic detection of the impurity and breakage rate of the grain. Simultaneously, a grain sampling trough 11, a grain feeding device 12, and a grain discharging device 13 are set up. While maintaining the natural stacking state of the grain, non-blocking dynamic sampling of high-speed grain flow is achieved, which improves the stability and reliability of the detection.

[0026] Further reference Figures 1-4 The image acquisition module includes a transparent material observation plate 21, a supplementary lighting device 22, and an image acquisition device 23; A transparent material observation plate 21 is embedded in the first side wall of the grain sampling trough 11; an image acquisition device 23 and a supplementary lighting device 22 are disposed on the side of the transparent material observation plate 21 away from the grain sampling trough 11; wherein, the first side wall is the side wall adjacent to the grain feeding device 12 and the grain discharging device 13. The supplementary lighting device 22 and the image acquisition device 23 are connected to the control module 4; When the control module 4 receives the quantitative location arrival information, it sends image acquisition information to the image acquisition device 23 and supplementary lighting information to the supplementary lighting device 22; the supplementary lighting device 22 is used to start working according to the supplementary lighting information; the image acquisition device 23 is used to capture an image of the grain stack presented through the transparent material observation plate 21 according to the image acquisition information, and transmit the grain stack image to the control module 4.

[0027] Specifically, when the control module 4 receives the quantitative position arrival information, it sends supplementary lighting information to the supplementary lighting device 22 to illuminate the sealed acquisition cavity, and sends image acquisition information to the image acquisition device 23 so that the image acquisition device 23 can clearly capture images of the grain stack in the grain sampling trough 11 through the transparent material observation plate 21. Both the supplementary lighting device 22 and the image acquisition device 23 are located within the sealed acquisition cavity. The supplementary lighting device 22 can be arranged on the inner wall of the sealed acquisition cavity, positioned between the transparent material observation plate 21 and the image acquisition device 23, to assist the image acquisition device 23 in capturing images of the grain stack. Furthermore, the image acquisition device 23 captures images of the grain stack through the transparent material observation plate 21, effectively preventing dust contamination of the lens. In addition, as the grain is discharged from the grain outlet 17, it carries away accumulated dust from the surface of the transparent material observation plate 21, creating a self-cleaning effect and helping to maintain the clarity of the grain stack image acquisition. For example, the supplementary lighting device 22 can automatically adjust its brightness according to the external light intensity, saving energy while ensuring image quality.

[0028] Further reference Figures 1-4 The image acquisition device includes: Lens 231 and industrial camera 232; lens 231 is mounted on industrial camera 232; industrial camera 232 is connected to control module 4; The industrial camera 232 is used to acquire information based on the image sent by the control module 4, take pictures of the grain stack, and transmit the grain stack pictures to the control module 4.

[0029] Specifically, by mounting lens 231 on industrial camera 232, the clarity of the images captured of the grain stack within the grain sampling trough 11 is effectively improved. For example, industrial camera 232 employs multi-frame exposure fusion technology to capture high dynamic range images, effectively suppressing the impact of sudden changes in field lighting on image quality.

[0030] Furthermore, the control module is used for: Before sending the feed inlet opening information to the feed motor, fault detection is performed on the feed motor and the discharge motor, and the working status of the feed motor is controlled according to the detection results.

[0031] Specifically, when it is necessary to monitor the impurity and breakage rate of grain conveyed by a combine harvester, the impurity and breakage rate monitoring device is activated. The device first enters an initialization state, during which the grain feeding and discharging devices are kept closed to detect any faults or abnormalities in the image acquisition module, the feeding motor, and the discharging motor. Based on the fault detection results, the device controls the operating state of the feeding motor. For example, if no faults or abnormalities are detected in the image acquisition module, the feeding motor, or the discharging motor, a feed inlet opening message is sent to the feeding motor to control the grain feeding device to open, allowing the grain to naturally stack in the grain sampling trough. If any faults or abnormalities are detected in the image acquisition module, the feeding motor, or the discharging motor, a fault alarm is triggered.

[0032] Furthermore, the supplemental lighting device includes at least one light-emitting diode.

[0033] Wherein, at least one can be understood as one or more. For example, the supplementary lighting device may include one or more light-emitting diodes, and the number of light-emitting diodes included in the supplementary lighting device can be set according to the actual situation.

[0034] Furthermore, the control module is also used for: After a first preset time after sending the discharge port open signal to the discharge motor, a discharge port close signal is sent to the discharge motor, and at the same time, a feed port open signal is sent to the feed motor.

[0035] Specifically, after sending a discharge port open signal to the discharge motor for a first preset time, a discharge port close signal is sent to the discharge motor, and simultaneously a feed port open signal is sent to the feed motor to start the next sampling cycle, thereby achieving real-time updates of impurity content and breakage rate. The first preset time can be set according to actual conditions.

[0036] Further reference Figure 3 The impurity and breakage rate monitoring device also includes: Mounting bracket 5; Mounting bracket 5 is positioned on the side of the grain feeding device 12 away from the grain sampling trough 11.

[0037] Specifically, the mounting bracket 5 can be a sleeve-type mounting bracket, which can be adapted to the grain outlet of the screw conveyor of different models of combine harvesters by adjusting the fastening structure on the mounting bracket. It can achieve quick installation without modifying the main structure of the combine harvester's screw conveyor grain outlet, and does not affect the normal operation of the main machine.

Figure 5The impurity and breakage rate monitoring device also includes: Display module 6; Control module 4 is electrically connected to display module 6; The control module 4 is used to transmit the determined impurity rate and breakage rate of the grain to the display module 6 in real time. The display module 6 is used to display the impurity rate and breakage rate of the grain in real time, compare the impurity rate and breakage rate with the preset threshold, and perform quality assessment based on the comparison results.

[0039] Specifically, after receiving the impurity rate and breakage rate of the grain transmitted by the control module 4, the display module 6 can display the changing trend of the impurity rate and breakage rate in real time, and compare the impurity rate and breakage rate of each time with their corresponding preset thresholds, and evaluate whether the impurity rate and breakage rate of the grain meet the requirements based on the comparison results.

[0040] Furthermore, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another grain impurity and breakage monitoring device provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, for reference. Figure 6 The impurity and breakage rate monitoring device also includes: Communication module 7; The first end of the communication module 7 is electrically connected to the control module 4, and the second end of the communication module 7 is electrically connected to the display module 6. The communication module 7 is used to transmit the impurity rate and breakage rate of the grain determined by the control module 4 to the display module 6 in real time.

[0041] Specifically, the communication module 7 supports Gigabit Ethernet and CAN bus protocols, and can transmit information such as impurity rate and breakage rate from the control module 4 to the display module 6 to realize real-time display of the impurity rate and breakage rate calculated each time.

[0042] Furthermore, the impurity content and breakage rate monitoring device also includes: Power management module; The power management module is electrically connected to the grain collection module, image acquisition module, sensor module, and control module, and is used to supply power to the grain collection module, image acquisition module, sensor module, and control module.

[0043] Specifically, the power management module features a wide voltage input characteristic, enabling it to power the grain collection module, image acquisition module, sensor module, and control module via connection to the combine harvester's 24V onboard electrical system. The power management module also includes an independent power supply battery, allowing for power supply to these modules when onboard power is unavailable.
