[0049] This invention provides a control circuit for a rice harvester, referenced. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of a rice harvester control circuit according to the present invention;

[0050] This invention discloses a control circuit for a rice huller, which includes: a data acquisition circuit 10, a main control circuit 20, and a drive circuit 30, wherein the main control circuit 20 is sequentially connected to the data acquisition circuit 10 and the drive circuit 30.

[0051] It should be understood that existing paddy rice mills are purely mechanical structures. While the material separation efficiency can be improved by adjusting the feed speed of the hopper, the inclination angle of the vibrating screen, the position of the grading plate at the discharge port, and the vibration frequency of the vibrating screen, these adjustments can only be made by operators manipulating the control levers. This requires highly skilled and experienced operators who need to periodically adjust the mill to achieve optimal working efficiency.

[0052] The acquisition circuit 10 is used to acquire the screen surface signal of the vibrating screen body of the rice huller;

[0053] The main control circuit 20 is used to receive the screen surface signal and output a drive control signal according to the screen surface signal;

[0054] The drive circuit 30 is used to receive the drive control signal and control the operating state of each stepper motor according to the drive control signal.

[0055] It is understood that this embodiment discloses a control circuit for a rice huller. Based on the screen surface image on the surface of the vibrating screen body, the main control chip in the rice huller generates various control instructions for controlling the rice huller. Based on each control instruction, the actual control of the rice huller is realized. In this embodiment, the control instructions for the rice huller include tilt angle control instructions, flow control instructions, grading plate control instructions, and screen body control instructions.

[0056] The acquisition circuit 10 receives the image of the screen surface on the upper surface of the vibrating screen in the rice mill from the image acquisition device, generates a screen surface signal based on the screen surface image, and transmits it to the main control circuit 20. The main control circuit 20 generates a control command signal corresponding to the screen surface signal and outputs the control command signal to the drive circuit 30 so that the drive circuit 30 controls the running state of the stepper motor.

[0057] It is easy to understand that the screen surface image refers to the image of the material inside the vibrating screen body obtained by taking a picture of the upper surface of the vibrating screen body through an image acquisition device. In this embodiment, the image acquisition device can be a camera.

[0058] Based on the first embodiment of the control circuit for the rice huller of the present invention, a second embodiment of the control circuit for the rice huller of the present invention is proposed, with reference to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the control circuit for the rice harvester of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a circuit diagram of the second embodiment of the control circuit for the rice harvester of the present invention.

[0059] In this embodiment, the main control circuit 20 includes an S7-200 smart ST40 control chip. The input terminal of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip is connected to the output terminal of the acquisition circuit 10, and the output terminal of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip is connected to the input terminal of the drive circuit 30.

[0060] It is easy to understand that after receiving the screen surface signal, the main control circuit 20 generates different drive control signals according to the screen surface signal and outputs them to each drive circuit 30 to drive each stepper motor and realize the adjustment of the corresponding motor running speed or direction.

[0061] Furthermore, the drive circuit 30 includes: an inclination control circuit 301, a flow control circuit 302, a screen control circuit 303, and a discharge control circuit 304;

[0062] The screen body control circuit 303 is used to control the operating state of the vibrating screen body motor M1 according to the drive control signal, so as to control the vibration frequency of the gluten mill vibrating screen body.

[0063] The discharge control circuit 304 is used to control the running state of the grading plate motor M2 according to the drive control signal, so as to control the position information of the grading plate at the discharge port of the chaff mill.

[0064] The tilt control circuit 301 is used to control the operating state of the tilt motor M3 according to the drive control signal, so as to control the tilt state of the vibrating screen body of the rice husk machine.

[0065] The flow control circuit 302 is used to control the operating state of the hopper motor M4 according to the drive control signal, so as to control the opening and closing state of the hopper adjustment plate of the rice huller.

[0066] In a specific implementation, the screen body control circuit 303 includes: a screen body motor M1 motor and an MS300 frequency converter;

[0067] Specifically, the first end of the screen motor M1 is connected to the output terminal of the L1 interface of the MS300 frequency converter, the second end of the screen motor M1 is connected to the output terminal of the L2 interface of the MS300 frequency converter, the third end of the screen motor M1 is connected to the output terminal of the L3 interface of the MS300 frequency converter, the enable terminal of the MS300 frequency converter is connected to the RS485 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip, the L1 interface input terminal of the MS300 frequency converter is connected to the first terminal of the three-phase power supply, the L2 interface input terminal of the MS300 frequency converter is connected to the second terminal of the three-phase power supply, and the L3 interface input terminal of the MS300 frequency converter is connected to the third terminal of the three-phase power supply.

[0068] In the specific implementation, the stepper motor that controls the vibration of the vibrating screen body is powered by a three-phase power supply, and when the enable terminal of the stepper motor driver MS300 is at a high level, MS300 is powered on and the stepper motor starts to run.

[0069] The discharge control circuit 304 includes: a driver for a grading plate motor M2 and a grading plate motor M2; wherein, the PUL+ interface of the driver for the grading plate motor M2 is connected to the Q0.3 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip, the DIR+ interface of the driver for the grading plate motor M2 is connected to the Q0.6 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip, the ENA+ interface of the driver for the grading plate motor M2 is connected to the Q1.0 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip, the A+ interface of the driver for the grading plate motor M2 is connected to the first terminal of the grading plate motor M2, the A- interface of the driver for the grading plate motor M2 is connected to the second terminal of the grading plate motor M2, the B+ interface of the driver for the grading plate motor M2 is connected to the third terminal of the grading plate motor M2, and the B- interface of the driver for the grading plate motor M2 is connected to the fourth terminal of the grading plate motor M2.

[0070] In practice, the vibrating screen may not completely screen the material during the vibrating screening process, resulting in low separation efficiency at the discharge. For example, when separating paddy rice, after separation by the paddy rice separator, brown rice, paddy rice, and a mixture of brown rice and paddy rice are obtained. At the discharge, the position of the discharge grading plate can be adjusted according to the boundary line of the three materials in the image to achieve accurate material separation and then perform secondary paddy rice separation.

[0071] The tilt control circuit 301 includes: a first contactor K1, a second contactor K2, a third contactor K3, a fourth contactor K4, and a tilt motor M3. The first end of the coil of the first contactor K1 is connected to the second end of the contact of the third contactor K3, and the second end of the coil of the first contactor K1 is grounded. The first end of the coil of the second contactor K2 is connected to the second end of the contact of the fourth contactor K4, and the second end of the coil of the second contactor K2 is grounded. The first end of the contact of the third contactor K3 is connected to a first power supply. The first end of the contact of the fourth contactor K4 is connected to the first power supply. The first end of the coil of the third contactor K3 is connected to the Q1.3 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip. The second end of the coil of the third contactor K3 is connected to a second power supply. The first end of the coil of the fourth contactor K4 is connected to the S7-200 smart... The ST40 control chip's Q1.4 interface is connected. The second end of the coil of the fourth contactor K4 is connected to the second power supply. The first end of the first contact of the first contactor K1 is connected to the first end of the first contact of the second contactor K2.

The second end of the third contact of the first contactor K1 is connected to the second end of the second contact of the second contactor K2.

[0072] The flow control circuit 302 includes a hopper motor driver and a hopper motor M4; wherein, the PUL+ interface of the hopper motor driver is connected to the Q0.3 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip, the DIR+ interface of the hopper motor driver is connected to the Q0.6 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip, the ENA+ interface of the hopper motor driver is connected to the Q1.0 interface of the S7-200 smart ST40 control chip, the A+ interface of the hopper motor driver is connected to the first terminal of the hopper motor M4, the A- interface of the hopper motor driver is connected to the second terminal of the hopper motor M4, the B+ interface of the hopper motor driver is connected to the third terminal of the hopper motor M4, and the B- interface of the hopper motor driver is connected to the fourth terminal of the hopper motor M4.

[0073] This invention also provides a method for controlling a rice huller, referring to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of a rice huller control method according to the present invention.

[0074] In this embodiment, the huller control method includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S10: Upon receiving the grain separation instruction, acquire a material separation image.

[0076] It should be noted that the execution subject of the method in this embodiment can be a rice huller control device. The rice huller control device can be the control chip of the rice huller, or other devices with the same or similar functions, such as an external control computer. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. In this embodiment and the following embodiments, the control chip in the rice huller will be used as an example for explanation.

[0077] It is worth noting that the rice-brown separation command can be a start command for the operation of the rice-brown machine, where the rice-brown machine refers to a rice-brown separator used to separate the rice and other grains to obtain brown rice; and the start command can be a control command input by the user to control the operating status of the rice-brown machine.

[0078] It should be understood that the vibrating screen body refers to the structural device in the rice huller used to vibrate and separate the added materials. In this embodiment, the rice huller has two symmetrical vibrating screen bodies, which can increase the amount of separated materials, ensure the stability of the machine during vibration separation, and allow the material separation situation inside the screen body to be observed through the upper surface of the vibrating screen body.

[0079] It is understood that the screen surface image refers to the image of the material inside the vibrating screen body obtained by taking a picture of the upper surface of the vibrating screen body through an image acquisition device. The image acquisition device can be an electronic device such as a camera, or other devices with image acquisition function. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0080] Furthermore, since the rice milling machine in this embodiment has two symmetrical vibrating screens, two cameras can be installed simultaneously to capture images of the two vibrating screens, thereby improving the image resolution and making the captured images more accurate.

[0081] In practice, when image acquisition is required, the screen plate on the upper surface of the vibrating screen can be removed so that the camera can directly observe the image of the material inside the screen through the upper surface of the vibrating screen.

[0082] Step S20: Perform image analysis on the material separation image using a preset image analysis model to obtain target material information.

[0083] It is worth noting that the preset image analysis model performs image analysis on the screen surface images acquired by the image acquisition device to obtain material information within the vibrating screen. The target material information can include the material separation ratio and separation effect within the vibrating screen. In the actual material separation process, due to the large amount of material vibrating at one time, and before the material within the screen is completely separated, new material to be screened may be added, leading to material mixing. Therefore, within the vibrating screen, taking rice as an example, there may be a mixture of rice, separated brown rice, and incompletely separated material. Thus, it is necessary to perform image analysis on the acquired screen surface images to obtain the required material separation information or material separation ratio, etc. The material separation ratio and separation effect can both be obtained through image analysis.

[0084] It is understood that the preset image analysis model can be a model generated based on vision technology and its algorithms, used for image analysis of the sieve surface image, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0085] Further, step S20 includes:

[0086] The grayscale image of the sieve surface is extracted to obtain a grayscale image of the sieve surface;

[0087] Image enhancement is performed on the grayscale image of the sieve surface to obtain the target sieve surface image;

[0088] The target screen image is analyzed using a preset image analysis model to obtain target material information.

[0089] It should be noted that a sieve surface grayscale image refers to extracting grayscale values ​​from a sieve surface image so that all pixels in the sieve surface image are converted into a sampled color. Through the sieve surface grayscale image, the proportions of rice, brown rice, and mixtures can be observed more clearly, improving the accuracy of image analysis.

[0090] It should be understood that the target screen image refers to the screen image obtained after image enhancement of the screen grayscale image. The image enhancement process mainly includes binarization, image sharpness enhancement, image smoothness enhancement, and image edge detection.

[0091] Step S30: Generate control instructions based on the target material information, and control the operation of the chaff mill based on the control instructions.

[0092] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, improving the rice-roasting machine's rice-roasting separation efficiency can be achieved by changing the rice-roasting machine's hopper feed speed, the inclination angle of the vibrating screen, the position of the grading plate at the discharge port, and the vibration frequency of the vibrating screen. Therefore, in this embodiment, there are four types of control commands: inclination angle control command, flow rate control command, grading plate control command, and screen body control command.

[0093] This embodiment discloses a method for acquiring a material separation image upon receiving a paddy rice separation command; performing image analysis on the material separation image using a preset image analysis model to obtain target material information; generating control commands based on the target material information; and controlling the operation of the paddy rice machine based on the control commands. This embodiment generates tilt angle control commands corresponding to the tilt angle of the screen body in the paddy rice machine, flow control commands controlling the feed speed of the hopper, grading plate control commands controlling the grading plate at the discharge port, and screen body control commands controlling the operating frequency of the vibrating screen body in the paddy rice machine, thereby achieving operation control of each stepper motor in the paddy rice machine.

[0094] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of a grain processing machine control method according to the present invention.

[0095] Based on the first embodiment described above, a second embodiment of the huller control method of the present invention is proposed. In this embodiment, step S30 includes:

[0096] Step S301: Generate screen control instructions based on the target material information, and control the vibration frequency of the gluten mill vibrating screen based on the screen control instructions.

[0097] It should be noted that the vibration frequency of the huller vibrating screen body refers to the vibration frequency of the two huller vibrating screen bodies of the huller. In this embodiment, the two huller vibrating screen bodies of the huller have the same vibration frequency.

[0098] Step S302: Generate grading plate control instructions based on the target material information, and control the position information of the grading plate at the discharge port of the chaff mill based on the grading plate.

[0099] Step S303: Generate tilt angle control command based on the target material information, and control the tilt angle state of the gluten mill vibrating screen body based on the tilt angle control command.

[0100] It is worth noting that the tilt angle of the vibrating screen is determined based on the separation effect of the rice huller on the material and the current material flow rate in the rice huller. In order to balance the influence of the separation effect and the current material flow rate on the tilt angle of the rice huller, the material flow rate information and the material separation efficiency can be used to generate tilt angle control parameters through a preset weighting ratio; and tilt angle control commands are generated according to the tilt angle control parameters and the material flow rate information.

[0101] It should be understood that the preset weight ratio refers to the influence of material flow information and material separation efficiency on the efficiency of the paddy rice mill in separating paddy into brown rice. In this embodiment, the weight ratio of material flow information and material separation efficiency can be set by the user, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0102] In addition, the tilt angle control parameter refers to the degree of influence of the tilt angle of the rice huller on the efficiency of separating paddy rice into brown rice. In actual operation, the tilt angle control parameter has a maximum value. When the working efficiency of the rice huller reaches the optimal level, the tilt angle control parameter takes the maximum value.

[0103] Furthermore, in order to accurately generate instructions for adjusting the tilt angle of the huller, the step of generating tilt angle control instructions based on the tilt angle control parameters and the material flow rate information includes:

[0104] When the tilt angle control parameter is less than a preset threshold, and when the material flow rate information is greater than a preset flow rate threshold, the tilt angle control command is to reduce the tilt angle of the target screen body;

[0105] When the tilt angle control parameter is less than a preset threshold, and when the material flow rate information is less than a preset flow rate threshold, the tilt angle control command is to increase the tilt angle of the target screen body.

[0106] It is easy to understand that the preset threshold refers to the maximum value of the tilt angle control parameter, that is, the tilt angle at which the patellar mill achieves optimal working efficiency; the preset flow rate threshold is used to determine the amount of material that the patellar mill vibrating screen can separate with optimal efficiency.

[0107] In practice, when the tilt angle control parameter is less than the optimal tilt angle, if the material flow rate information is greater than the preset flow rate threshold, the tilt angle of the vibrating screen can be reduced; if the material flow rate information is less than the preset flow rate threshold, the tilt angle of the vibrating screen can be increased.

[0108] Step S304: Generate a hopper adjustment plate control command based on the target material information, and control the opening and closing state of the hopper adjustment plate of the grading plate based on the grading plate control command.

[0109] In practice, in order to improve the operating efficiency of the rice huller and optimize the separation rate and material separation efficiency, the material flow rate at the rice huller inlet can be controlled by adjusting the opening and closing of the hopper regulating plate.

[0110] The opening and closing state of the hopper regulating plate is related to the material separation efficiency and material separation rate of the patellar mill. The separation rate of the patellar mill and the material separation efficiency can be used to generate flow control parameters through a preset weighting ratio. Control commands for the hopper regulating plate are generated based on the flow control parameters.

[0111] It should be noted that the preset weight ratio refers to the influence of the rice-brown mill separation rate and material separation efficiency on the efficiency of the rice-brown mill in separating paddy into brown rice. In this embodiment, the weight ratio of the rice-brown mill separation rate to the material separation efficiency can be 4:6, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0112] It is easy to understand that the flow control parameter is used to quantify the efficiency of the rice huller in separating paddy into brown rice. In actual operation, the flow control parameter has a maximum value. The flow control parameter takes the maximum value when the rice huller can achieve the optimal working efficiency.

[0113] This embodiment discloses generating screen control commands based on the target material information, and controlling the vibration frequency of the vibrating screen of the rice huller based on the screen control commands; generating grading plate control commands based on the target material information, and controlling the position information of the grading plate at the rice huller outlet based on the grading plate; generating tilt angle control commands based on the target material information, and controlling the tilt angle state of the vibrating screen of the rice huller based on the tilt angle control commands; generating hopper adjustment plate control commands based on the target material information, and controlling the opening and closing state of the hopper adjustment plate of the rice huller based on the grading plate control commands. This embodiment generates control commands for each stepper motor based on the separation effect, separation rate, separation efficiency, and flow rate information obtained from the rice huller screen surface image analysis, thereby realizing the control of the rice huller.
