[0048] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the nutrient detection method for the blended fertilizer includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S10: Obtain an image containing the blended fertilizer;

[0050] In this embodiment, images containing blended fertilizers can be acquired by a camera device. For example, images containing blended fertilizers can be acquired by the optical detection system of a color sorter, which includes an optical sensor.

[0051] In some embodiments, the blended fertilizer is composed of numerous raw material particles; therefore, the image containing the blended fertilizer records the appearance and location of each raw material in the blended fertilizer. The appearance may include the shape, size, color, gloss, and transparency of the raw materials.

[0052] Step S20: Based on the image, different types of raw materials in the blended fertilizer are screened out to separate the different types of raw materials;

[0053] In this embodiment, different types of raw materials are identified based on the appearance of each raw material particle in the image, thus enabling the screening of different types of raw materials in blended fertilizers. The actual raw materials are separated based on the position of each raw material particle in the image, yielding the separated raw materials of different categories.

[0054] For example, color sorters can automatically separate discolored particles from granular materials based on differences in the optical properties of the materials using photoelectric detection technology. Therefore, the separation execution system of a color sorter can be used to sort different types of raw materials.

[0055] In some embodiments, different categories of raw materials in blended fertilizers refer to different components in blended fertilizers. For example, the raw material categories of blended fertilizers may include diammonium phosphate, 55% monoammonium phosphate, potassium chloride, urea, ammonium sulfate, core masterbatch, etc.

[0056] Step S30: Determine the nutrient content in the blended fertilizer based on the separated raw materials.

[0057] In this embodiment, the nutrient content of each category of raw material is calculated separately, and the combined nutrient content of all categories of raw materials is the nutrient content of the blended fertilizer.

[0058] In some embodiments, the nutrients in the blended fertilizer may include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, phosphorus pentoxide, potassium oxide, etc., and the nutrient content is the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, phosphorus pentoxide, potassium oxide, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, since raw materials of the same category have the same composition, their nutrient mass can be directly calculated based on the mass percentage of each nutrient. For example, if potassium chloride contains 60% potassium oxide (K2O) in the separated raw materials, and the mass of potassium chloride is 100 grams, then its potassium oxide nutrient mass is 60 grams. If the blended fertilizer is 600 grams, and only potassium chloride contains potassium oxide nutrient, then the potassium oxide nutrient content in the blended fertilizer is 10%.

[0060] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, different types of raw materials in the blended fertilizer are separated by images of the blended fertilizer, and the nutrients of the blended fertilizer are calculated based on the separated raw materials. Compared with chemical detection methods, the detection time is shorter and the detection accuracy is higher, thereby improving the detection efficiency of fertilizer nutrients.

[0061] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown above, in the above Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step S20 includes:

[0062] Step S21: In the blended fertilizer, a target raw material among the multiple categories of raw materials is identified;

[0063] Step S22: Obtain the optical characteristics of the target raw material;

[0064] In this embodiment, optical features of all types of raw materials in the blended fertilizer are pre-set to identify the type of raw materials in the image based on the optical features.

[0065] In some embodiments, optical features may include characteristics of the shape, size, color, gloss, and transparency of the raw material. It is understood that optical features can be used to directly distinguish different categories of raw materials by appearance.

[0066] In some embodiments, prior to step S21, appearance images of each category of raw materials are acquired in advance and used as preset appearance images. Machine learning or training is performed based on the preset appearance images of the raw materials to obtain their optical characteristics, and the optical characteristics of each category of raw materials are stored.

[0067] In some embodiments, the operator can manually select the target raw material from multiple categories of raw materials in the blended fertilizer. In some embodiments, each category of raw materials in the blended fertilizer can be automatically set as the target raw material to automatically separate the different categories of raw materials one by one.

[0068] Step S23: In the image, the target raw material is screened out according to the optical features to separate the target raw material from the blended fertilizer.

[0069] In this embodiment, feature recognition is performed on the image based on the optical characteristics of the target raw material to determine the target raw material in the image and obtain its position in the image. Based on the position of the target raw material in the image, its actual position in three-dimensional space can be determined, allowing the target raw material to be separated from the blended fertilizer.

[0070] In some embodiments, after separating the target raw material from the blended fertilizer, the blended fertilizer after separating the target raw material can be used as the updated blended fertilizer. Using the updated blended fertilizer, the process returns to step S10 to redetermine the new target raw material, thereby achieving the separation of each type of raw material one by one.

[0071] In some embodiments, after separating the target raw material from the blended fertilizer, it can be further detected whether there are raw materials of different categories in the blended fertilizer after the target raw material has been separated. If so, the step of using the blended fertilizer after the target raw material has been separated as the updated blended fertilizer is executed to achieve the continued separation of different categories of raw materials. If not, it indicates that the separation of different categories of raw materials has been completed, and therefore step S30 can be executed.

[0072] In some embodiments, the operator may manually confirm whether there are different types of raw materials in the blended fertilizer after the target raw material has been separated, or the image recognition may be used to automatically determine whether there are different types of raw materials in the blended fertilizer after the target raw material has been separated.

[0073] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the optical characteristics of different types of raw materials are used to identify and separate them, classifying blended fertilizers into multiple single raw materials, making the detection of nutrient content in blended fertilizers more convenient.

[0074] In yet another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, in Figures 1 to 2 Based on any embodiment, step S30 includes:

[0075] Step S31: Weigh the separated raw materials to obtain the weight of each category of raw materials;

[0076] Step S32: Determine the nutrient quality of the raw material of the corresponding category based on the weight;

[0077] In this embodiment, after classifying the blended fertilizer into multiple separate individual raw materials, each separate individual raw material is weighed to obtain the weight of each category of raw material. The nutrient content of the corresponding category of raw material can be determined based on its weight. For example, potassium chloride contains 60% potassium oxide, urea contains 46.2% nitrogen, ammonium sulfate contains 20.5% nitrogen, the core masterbatch contains 59% potassium oxide, diammonium phosphate contains 18% nitrogen and 46% phosphorus pentoxide, 55% monoammonium phosphate contains 11% nitrogen and 44% phosphorus pentoxide.

[0078] Step S33: Determine the nutrient content in the blended fertilizer based on the nutrient quality of all categories of raw materials in the blended fertilizer.

[0079] In this embodiment, the content of the same nutrient in the blended fertilizer is obtained by summing the masses of the same nutrient in all types of raw materials and dividing by the total mass of the blended fertilizer.

[0080] In one embodiment, to test the effectiveness of the nutrient detection method for blended fertilizers, the following experiment was conducted:

[0081] Experiment 1: 500g of blended fertilizer sample (N:P2O5:K2O = 23:18:10) was weighed. The raw materials were potassium chloride (K2O content 60%), urea (N content 46.2%), ammonium sulfate (N content 20.5%), core masterbatch (K2O content 59%), and diammonium phosphate (N content 18%, P2O5 content 46%). After screening with a color sorter, the separated materials were weighed: diammonium phosphate 200g, potassium chloride 50.1g, urea 149.3g, ammonium sulfate 65.6g, and core masterbatch 35g. The total nutrients in the sample were calculated to be 23.68% nitrogen, 18.4% phosphorus pentoxide, and 10.14% potassium oxide. Chemical analysis revealed 23.6% nitrogen, 18.21% phosphorus pentoxide, and 10.35% potassium oxide.

[0082] Experiment 2: 1000g of blended fertilizer sample (N:P2O5:K2O = 23:18:10) was weighed. The raw materials were potassium chloride (K2O content 60%), urea (N content 46.2%), ammonium sulfate (N content 20.5%), core masterbatch (K2O content 59%), and diammonium phosphate (N content 18%, P2O5 content 46%). After screening with a color sorter, the separated materials were weighed: diammonium phosphate 399.5g, potassium chloride 100.5g, urea 295.4g, ammonium sulfate 133.2g, and core masterbatch 71.4g. Finally, the total nutrients of the sample were calculated to be nitrogen content 23.57%, phosphorus pentoxide content 18.38%, and potassium oxide content 10.24%. The nutrient content, as determined by chemical analysis, is 23.5% nitrogen, 18.26% phosphorus pentoxide, and 10.18% potassium oxide.

[0083] Experiment 3: 500g of blended fertilizer sample (N:P2O5:K2O = 14:28:12) was weighed. The raw materials were potassium chloride (K2O content 60%), 55% monoammonium phosphate (N content 11%, P2O5 content 44%), ammonium sulfate (N content 20.5%), core masterbatch (K2O content 59%), and diammonium phosphate (N content 18%, P2O5 content 46%). After screening with a color sorter, the separated materials were weighed: diammonium phosphate 254.3g, potassium chloride 50.7g, 55% monoammonium phosphate 53.2g, ammonium sulfate 90.2g, and core masterbatch 51.6g. Finally, the total nutrients of the sample were calculated to be nitrogen content 14.02%, phosphorus pentoxide content 28.08%, and potassium oxide content 12.17%. The nutrient content, as determined by chemical analysis, was 14.1% nitrogen, 28.01% phosphorus pentoxide, and 12.2% potassium oxide.

[0084] Experiment 4: 1000g of blended fertilizer sample (N:P2O5:K2O = 14:28:12) was weighed. The raw materials were potassium chloride (K2O content 60%), 55% monoammonium phosphate (N content 11%, P2O5 content 44%), ammonium sulfate (N content 20.5%), core masterbatch (K2O content 59%), and diammonium phosphate (N content 18%, P2O5 content 46%). After screening with a color sorter, the separated materials were weighed: diammonium phosphate 510g, potassium chloride 100.5g, 55% monoammonium phosphate 104g, ammonium sulfate 183.2g, and core masterbatch 102.4g. Finally, the total nutrients of the sample were calculated to be nitrogen content 14.08%, phosphorus pentoxide content 28.04%, and potassium oxide content 12.07%. The nutrient content, as determined by chemical analysis, was 14.11% nitrogen, 28.08% phosphorus pentoxide, and 11.98% potassium oxide.

[0085] As can be seen from the above experiments, the nutrient detection method of the blended fertilizer in this embodiment has a faster detection time and higher detection accuracy compared with the chemical analysis method.

[0086] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the blended fertilizer is separated into multiple single raw materials, and the nutrient content of the blended fertilizer is calculated by weighing the single raw materials, which improves the detection efficiency and accuracy of nutrient content.

[0087] Furthermore, this application also proposes a nutrient detection device for blended fertilizers. The nutrient detection device for blended fertilizers includes: a memory, a processor, and a nutrient detection program for blended fertilizers stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the nutrient detection program for blended fertilizers is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the nutrient detection method for blended fertilizers as described in the above embodiments.

[0088] For example, refer to Figure 4 Nutrient detection devices for blended fertilizers may include Figure 4 The terminal structure is shown. In Figure 4 In this process, the blended fertilizer is fed from the magnetic feeder 11 and falls from the chute 12. The light source 13 provides illumination, the sensor 14 acquires an image containing the blended fertilizer, the background plate 15 provides an image of the target raw material to be screened, the air gun 16 sprays other raw materials into the rejects bin 17, while the target raw material enters the accepts bin 18, waiting for the next raw material separation.

[0089] For example, refer to Figure 5 Nutrient detection devices for blended fertilizers may include Figure 5The color sorter shown includes a ore bin 22, a conveyor belt 23, an optical detection system, a separation execution system, and a material bin 27. The optical detection system includes detection components 24, and the separation execution system includes a spray separation execution component 26. The mixed fertilizer in the ore bin 22 is conveyed and falls via the conveyor belt 23. The detection components 24 acquire images containing the mixed fertilizer. The image processing system 25 identifies the target material in the image. The computer 21 controls the spray separation execution component 26 to spray other raw materials into the defective material bin in the material bin 27, while the target raw material enters the qualified material bin in the material bin 27, awaiting the next material separation.
