[0003] Modern agriculture relies almost entirely on agricultural machinery and equipment to complete every link from sowing, planting to harvesting. The mechanization of agriculture has improved the efficiency of agricultural production and brought great convenience to farmers.

[0004] Traditional agricultural harvesting tools such as harvesters are usually controlled by oil pressure and hydraulic pressure, which usually require professional personnel to operate, are difficult to control, and have a low level of intelligence. Summary of the Invention

[0067] In some examples, the travel control unit 20 mainly completes the travel control of the harvester. The travel control unit 20 may include a motor drive unit and a motor unit, and the motor unit may be connected to the travel mechanism.

[0068] In some examples, the motor unit may be driven by two brushless DC motors, and the walking mechanism may be composed of a track and four drive wheels.

[0069] The travel control unit 20 can receive control instructions from the central control unit 10 and control the motor drive unit, the motor unit and the travel mechanism to complete the harvester's forward movement, turning, constant speed, emergency stop, braking and other actions.

[0070] Figure 4 2 is a schematic diagram showing the travel and turning control of the harvester involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 2 is a schematic diagram showing turning control of a harvester according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0071] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The following is a detailed description of a specific example of how the walking control unit 20 controls the harvester to walk and turn:

[0072] Assuming the input signal is a two-dimensional voltage signal output by a Hall effect remote sensing handle that is linearly proportional to its position, the user can continuously adjust the harvester's speed by pushing it forward or backward, and continuously control the harvester's turning angle by pushing it left or right. The two-dimensional signal is converted into speed and steering control commands through the handle signal processing operator.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown: The X-axis represents the rotation angle, with leftward being positive; the Y-axis represents the vehicle speed, with forward being positive. The corresponding relationships between voltage, rotation angle, and vehicle speed in the X- and Y-axis directions are shown in the figure. If the two-dimensional voltage signal falls within the square area, and a certain input command corresponds to point A(X,Y), the handle processing algorithm can be used to obtain the speed and rotation angle control commands for the left and right motors:

[0074] The conversion results of the two-dimensional voltage (X, Y) and the two-dimensional vehicle speed angle coordinates (V, θ) are as follows:

[0075] V = 5*(2.5-Y) / 2.5;

[0076] θ = 90°*(2.5-X) / 2.5;

[0077] Where V is the linear velocity and θ is the angle.

[0078] From the above formula, we can see that the current target linear velocity is determined by the Y direction signal, and the target angle is determined by the X direction signal.

[0079] Now analyze how the harvester turns, refer to Figure 5 :

[0080] The figure shows the harvester turning left with point O as the center. V represents the harvester's linear velocity, ω represents the harvester's angular velocity, and V l 、V r Represent the linear speed of the left and right wheels respectively, ω l ,ω r Represent the angular velocity of the left and right wheels respectively, L is the wheel spacing, r represents the driving wheel radius, R is the turning radius, and θ is the vehicle body turning angle.

[0081] Assuming that the driving wheel is only rolling relative to the ground, kinematic analysis shows that:

[0082] V=(ω l +ω r )*r / 2;

[0083] L=ω l +ω r ;

[0084] R=2*ω r -ω; l

[0085] Given R and V, we can determine ω l 、ω r as follows:

[0086] ω r =((2R+L)*V) / (2Rr);

[0087] ω l =((2R-L)*V) / (2Rr);

[0088] And, ω=((ω r -ω l )r) / L.

[0089] Three motion states of the harvester

[0090] 1. When θ=0,V≠0, the harvester moves in a straight line with a speed of V. At this time, the linear speed of the harvester is V=Vl =V r , turning radius R = ∞. At this time, the speeds of the left and right wheels are as follows:

[0091] ω r =ω l =V / r.

[0092] 2. When θ≠0 and V≠0, the harvester is turning, and the turning radius R is between 0 and ∞. At this time, the left and right motors should follow each other in speed, and the speeds of the left and right wheels are as follows:

[0093] ω r =((2R+L)*V) / (2Rr);

[0094] ω l =((2R-L)*V) / (2Rr).

[0095] 3. When θ≠0, V=0, that is, the harvester is required to rotate in place with a turning radius of 0, and the motion controller needs to ensure the linear velocity V of the left and right wheels l =-V r =V m , the two wheel speeds are as follows:

[0096] ω r =ω l =V m / r;

[0097] Among them, V m Can be determined by the mechanical characteristics of the system.

[0098] In some examples, the undercutting unit can be driven by two brushless DC motors. The undercutting speed and cutterhead height of this module can be manually controlled to accommodate harvesting in unfamiliar and complex terrain. Harvesting can then proceed automatically based on system-learned parameters. The undercutting unit can adjust the cutterhead height based on data from the terrain-mimicking sensor and control the cutting speed based on the normal driving speed.

[0099] In some examples, the conveying unit 43 can transport the materials (crops such as sugarcane and corn) cut by the undercutting unit to the defoliating unit 44 .

[0100] In some examples, the cutting unit 45 can further cut the material conveyed by the conveying unit 43. In some examples, the cutting unit 45 can be driven by a brushless DC motor.

[0101] In some examples, the air separation unit 46 can blow the impurities or broken leaves generated by the conveying unit 43, the leaf stripping unit 44 and the cutting unit 45 to the outside of the device through wind energy to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

[0102] In some examples, the air separation unit 46 may include a drive motor and a steering motor. In this case, the residue left by the leaf stripping unit 44 can be blown away by wind energy by adjusting the blowing power, and the uniform rotation of the steering motor can be controlled to evenly sprinkle impurities into the field.

[0103] The present disclosure also provides a walking learning control system for a harvester, which can be a control system that uses the above-mentioned walking learning method. The control system can include a central control unit 10, a display operation unit 30, a walking control unit 20, a sugarcane supporting unit 41, a root cutting unit, a conveying unit 43, a leaf stripping unit 44 and a cutting unit 45. The central control unit 10 is connected to the walking control unit 20, the display operation unit 30, the sugarcane supporting unit 41, the root cutting unit, the conveying unit 43, the leaf stripping unit 44 and the cutting unit 45 through a CAN bus, and the root cutting unit transports materials to the leaf stripping unit 44, the cutting unit 45 and the air separation unit 46 through the transmission unit.

[0104] In the present disclosure, the central control unit 10, display and operation unit 30, sugarcane lifting unit 41, root cutting unit, conveying unit 43, leaf stripping unit 44, and cutting unit 45 operate to harvest and process materials batch by batch. The central control unit 10 and the CAN bus monitor the working status of each unit in real time. This strengthens the coordination of the various modules and improves the intelligent operation of the system.

[0105] In this embodiment, the control system may further include a storage unit. In some examples, the storage unit may be built into the central control unit 10. The storage unit may be used to store the aforementioned terrain parameters, sugarcane supporting parameters, root cutting parameters, conveying parameters, leaf stripping parameters, winnowing parameters, and cutting parameters.

[0106] In some embodiments, the display operation unit 30 may include an operation stick module 31 and a display touch module 32.

[0107] In this embodiment, the central control unit 10 can receive the operating parameters and abnormal information of other functional modules through the CAN bus, and send them to the display operation unit 30 for display.

[0108] In this embodiment, the display and operation unit 30 can display information including the machine's operating speed, abnormal conditions, power consumption, and detailed operating parameters. Operations can primarily include system setup and operation. These settings include terrain settings, manual and automatic selection, and can also be used to control individual functional units, such as forward speed, turning angle, cane slope, height, winnowing power, and conveyor speed. The unit can also be set to automatic mode for automated sugarcane harvesting. In this case, terrain parameters, speed, and conveyor speeds are automatically controlled according to the set parameters, reducing reliance on human intervention during the harvesting process.

[0109] In this embodiment, the control system may further include a packaging unit 47 for packaging the materials. Thus, the processed materials can be packaged.

[0110] In some examples, the packaging unit 47 can transport the cleaned materials to the mesh bag. The packaging unit 47 can be driven by a DC motor, the running trajectory of the mesh bag can be controlled by a control component, the packaging unit 47 can be started by a start switch, and the stop of the packaging unit 47 can be controlled by two in-position switches.

[0111] In this embodiment, the control system may further include a display operation unit 30 connected to the central control unit 10 , so that operations and displays can be performed on the display operation unit 30 .

[0112] In some examples, the control system may further include a remote control unit connected to the central control unit 10, and the remote control unit may include a remote control component and a remote control signal processing component. The remote control unit may send remote control information to other functional units through the central control unit 10 through manual operation.
