Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a quantitative analysis method for the passability of machinery in the no-till seeding process based on discrete element method. Background Technology
[0002] Conservation tillage, by not using moldboard plows and covering the land with over 30% crop straw and stubble, effectively mitigates soil erosion by wind and water compared to traditional farming methods, thus reducing negative impacts on crop growth. No-till and reduced-till seeding significantly increase soil moisture content, promotes topsoil root growth, and long-term conservation tillage can increase crop yields.
[0003] In traditional farming methods, the seeder delivers seeds along a pre-set trajectory through the interaction between its soil-contacting components and the soil. However, because straw mulch is a key feature of conservation tillage, the traditional two-factor interaction between the machine and soil transforms into a three-factor interaction between the machine, straw, and soil. The large amount of pulverized straw covering the ground can easily cause blockages in the no-till seeder's implements during operation, resulting in poor field maneuverability.
[0004] Currently, the method for assessing the mobility of no-till seeding machinery is still qualitative, relying on observation to determine whether blockages occur during field operations. However, this method introduces a degree of subjectivity into the observer's assessment of the machinery's field mobility, leading to inaccurate results. Summary of the Invention

[0080] It should be noted that, Figure 1 This is merely an example of the system architecture of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention does not impose any specific limitations on it.
[0081] Based on the system architecture shown above Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for quantitative analysis of the passability of machinery in no-till seeding based on discrete element method, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:
[0082] Step 301: Establish an overall soil sensor A based on the soil layer location.

A The range is 0.1 to 1H, and preferably, in this embodiment, h is taken as h. A =200mm. The center of the integral soil sensor A is the center of the virtual soil trough 2. The top of the integral soil sensor A is positioned so that it just covers the soil particles in the virtual soil trough 2 and fits against the bottom of the blocking soil sensor B. The position of the integral soil sensor A remains fixed. Figures 4a to 4c As shown. It should be noted that when conducting machine passability tests in the field, the overall soil sensor A needs to be set to only read the real-time soil particle mass within the sensor, and it should be installed around the soil layer being tested for more accurate testing.
[0085] Step 302: Establish an overall straw sensor C based on the location of the straw layer.
[0086] Optionally, step 302 may include: when conducting machine passability tests in the field, it is necessary to determine the appropriate parameters based on the length l. C Width w C Height h C The overall straw sensor C is determined by its relative position.
[0087] Specifically, the overall straw sensor C is set to an overall mass sensor, which only reads the real-time mass of straw particles within the sensor. The length l of the overall straw sensor C is set. C The range is 0.1 to 1 L, and preferably, in this embodiment, it is 1 L. C =l A =2000mm. Width w of the overall straw sensor C. CEqual to the distance between two adjacent no-till anti-blocking units 1, in this embodiment, w is taken as C =w A =340mm. The height h of the overall straw sensor C. C The range is 0.1 to 1H, and preferably, in this embodiment, h is taken as h. C =h A =200mm. The top of the integral straw sensor C exactly covers the centroid of the straw particles. The top of the integral straw sensor C is in contact with the bottom of the obstructing straw sensor D, and the position of the integral straw sensor C remains fixed. Figures 5a to 5c As shown. It should be noted that when conducting machine passability tests in the field, the overall straw sensor C needs to be set to only read the real-time straw particle mass within the sensor, and it should be installed around the straw layer being tested for more accurate testing.
[0088] Step 303: Analyze and calculate the overall soil and straw loss quality of the virtual soil trough.
[0089] Specifically, the overall simulation process is run and observed, and the start and end times of the simulation are observed and analyzed. Preferably, the total simulation time in this embodiment is t = 3s. The soil particle mass at the start time of the overall soil sensor A is read and recorded as m. A|t=0 The soil particle mass at the termination time of the overall soil sensor A is recorded as m. A|t=3 The mass of straw particles at the initial moment of the overall straw sensor C is read and denoted as m. C|t=0 The mass of straw particles at the termination time of the overall straw sensor C is read and denoted as m. C|t=3 Calculate the total soil loss mass within the virtual soil trough (m). A | t=3 -m A | t=0 ), calculate the total mass of straw lost within the virtual soil trough (m C | t=3 -m C | t=0 ).
[0090] Step 304: Calculate the total loss mass Φ.
[0091] Step 304 specifically includes:
[0092] Establish the calculation equation for the overall loss mass Φ of soil particles and straw particles:
[0093] Φ=μ(m A | t=3 -m A | t=0 )+ν(m C | t=3 -m C| t=0 )
[0094] The overall loss mass Φ was calculated using this formula, where μ is the soil clogging coefficient, ranging from 0 to 5; and ν is the straw clogging coefficient, ranging from 0 to 20.
[0095] Step 305: Establish the soil blocking sensor B based on the location of the blocking unit.
[0096] Optionally, step 305 may include: during field implement passability testing, based on the length l B Width w B Height h B The relative position and movement path of the soil blockage sensor B are used to determine the soil blockage.
[0097] Specifically, the type of soil clogging sensor B is set as a bulk mass sensor, which only reads the real-time mass of soil particles within the sensor. The length l of soil clogging sensor B is set. B Slightly larger than the length of the no-till anti-blocking unit 1, and preferably an integer; in this embodiment, it is preferably l. B =1100mm. Width w of soil clogging sensor B B Equal to the distance between two adjacent no-till anti-blocking units 1, in this embodiment, w is taken as B =340mm. The height h of the soil clogging sensor B. B Slightly larger than the height of the no-till anti-blocking unit 1, and preferably rounded to an integer; in this embodiment, h is preferred. B =500mm. The center of the soil clogging sensor B coincides with the centroid of the no-till anti-clogging unit 1, and the top plane of the soil clogging sensor B is set slightly higher than the sowing baffle. The soil clogging sensor B is fixed in the vertical direction and moves with the no-till anti-clogging unit 1 in the horizontal direction. That is, the soil clogging sensor B and the no-till anti-clogging unit 1 remain relatively stationary when moving in the horizontal direction. Figures 4a to 4b As shown. It should be noted that when conducting machine passability tests in the field, the soil blockage sensor B needs to be set to only read the real-time soil particle mass within the sensor, and it should be installed around the no-till anti-blockage unit 1 for more accurate testing.
[0098] Step 306: Establish the straw blockage sensor D based on the location of the anti-blockage unit.
[0099] Optionally, step 306 may include: during field implement passability testing, based on the length l D Width w D Height h D The relative position and movement path determine the obstruction of straw sensor D.
[0100] Specifically, the type of the straw blockage sensor D is set as a whole-mass sensor, which only reads the real-time mass of straw particles within the sensor. The length l of the straw blockage sensor D is set. D Slightly larger than the length of the no-till anti-blocking unit 1, and preferably an integer; in this embodiment, it is preferably l. D =l B =1100mm. Width w of the straw blockage sensor D. B Equal to the distance between two adjacent no-till anti-blocking units 1, in this embodiment, w is taken as D =w B =340mm. The height h of the straw blockage sensor D. D Approximately equal to the height h of the soil-clogging sensor B B With an average straw cover thickness of H s The difference, i.e. h D ≈h B -H s And it should be an integer if possible; preferably, in this embodiment, h is taken as h. D =455mm. The top plane of the straw clogging sensor D is slightly higher than the sowing baffle. The straw clogging sensor D is fixed in the vertical direction and moves horizontally with the no-till anti-clogging unit 1. That is, the straw clogging sensor D and the no-till anti-clogging unit 1 remain relatively stationary when moving horizontally. Figures 5a to 5c As shown. It should be noted that when conducting machine passability tests in the field, the straw blockage sensor D needs to be set to only read the real-time straw particle mass inside the sensor, and it should be installed around the no-till anti-blockage unit 1 for more accurate testing.
[0101] Step 307: Real-time statistics on the soil and straw blockage around the anti-blocking unit.
[0102] Step 307 may specifically include:
[0103] Run and observe the overall simulation process, and record each interval point saved after the simulation ends;
[0104] The storage interval is set to determine the soil and straw blockage around the blockage unit; wherein, the parameters of the overall simulation process include the total simulation run time t and the target storage interval.
[0105] The target saving interval during the simulation process should be kept as small as possible to obtain more and more accurate data distribution points. Preferably, in this embodiment, the total simulation running time is t = 3s, and the target saving interval is set to 0.01s, which can acquire 300 sets of data. The data on the mass of soil particles in the soil blockage sensor B and the mass of straw particles in the straw blockage sensor D are exported in the form of an Excel spreadsheet, and the sum of the mass of soil particles and the mass of straw particles is observed at which moment, and all the maximum values appearing in the data are recorded.
[0106] Step 308: Calculate the maximum blockage mass Y.
[0107] Specifically, step 308 includes: establishing the calculation equation for the maximum clogging mass Y of soil particles and straw particles as follows:
[0108] Υ=max{μ·m B | t=i +ν·m D | t=i},{i|0≤i≤3}
[0109] The maximum clogging mass Y is calculated using the equation described above, where μ is the soil clogging coefficient, ranging from 0 to 5; ν is the straw clogging coefficient, ranging from 0 to 20; and i is the mass of the entire simulated motion process (μ·m). B +ν·m D The moment when the maximum value is reached.
[0110] Step 309, computer has congestion rate Δ.
[0111] Specifically, step 309 includes:
[0112] The formula for calculating the equipment blockage rate Δ is as follows:
[0113]
[0114] The calculation equation for Δ is used to calculate the soil clogging rate Δ, where μ is the soil clogging coefficient, ranging from 0 to 5; ν is the straw clogging coefficient, ranging from 0 to 20; and i is the μ·m value during the overall simulation process. B +ν·m D The moment when the maximum value is reached.
[0115] Step 310: Analyze and classify the experimental data.
[0116] Specifically, step S310 includes:
[0117] The calculation results of the clogging rate Δ and the clogging situation that occurs in the actual operation of no-till seeders are classified and graded; among them, when μ·m B +ν·mD When the maximum value is reached, the machine is most likely to become clogged; when Δ≤8%, the machine will not become clogged; when 8%<Δ≤12%, the machine will be slightly clogged; when 12%<Δ≤18%, the machine will be moderately clogged; when Δ>18%, the machine will become severely clogged.
[0118] To better explain the present invention, the following will be used... Figures 2a to 2c Taking the virtual soil tank 2 as an example, the steps and flow of the embodiment of the present invention are described as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the details are as follows:
[0119] Step 601: Set up the geometric model of soil and straw and input their physical parameters.
[0120] Specifically, the material parameters of the no-till anti-blocking unit 1, as well as the contact parameters between soil and material, soil and straw, soil and soil, straw and material, and straw and straw are set.
[0121] It should be noted that Poisson's ratio refers to the ratio of the absolute values of the transverse normal strain to the axial normal strain when a material is under uniaxial tension or compression; it is also called the transverse deformation coefficient and is an elastic constant reflecting the transverse deformation of a material. Shear modulus, also known as shear stress to strain or rigidity modulus, is one of the mechanical property indicators of a material. It is the ratio of shear stress to shear strain under shear stress within the elastic deformation proportional limit. It characterizes the material's ability to resist shear strain. A large modulus indicates high rigidity of the material.
[0122] For example, the Poisson's ratio of soil particles is set to 0.38 and the shear modulus of soil particles is set to 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 6 MPa, soil particle density is 1850 kg / m³ 3 The Poisson's ratio of the straw pellets is 0.40, and the shear modulus of the straw pellets is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 6 MPa, straw particle density is 240 kg / m³ 3 The soil particle model is designed with spherical particles, each with a radius of 5 mm. The straw particle model uses a long linear model, with its baseline model consisting of 22 spherical particles, each with a radius and a center-to-center spacing of 6 mm, forming a straw particle model with a length of 138 mm. The material properties of the no-till anti-clogging unit 1 are set as 45# steel with a density of 7800 kg / m³. 3 The Poisson's ratio is 0.31, and the shear modulus is 7.0 × 10⁻⁶. 10 Pa.
[0123] Step 602: Establish a virtual soil trough model based on the actual field environment.
[0124] Specifically, soil particles are first generated and allowed to settle naturally under gravity. By appropriately extending the simulation time, stable bonds are formed between the soil particles, and they are kept as still as possible. After the soil has settled, straw particles are added on top of the soil particles to make the model as close as possible to the actual situation of soil and straw. Then, the simulation time is extended to allow the soil and straw particles to settle fully, forming the virtual soil trough 2 as shown in Figure 2.
[0125] Step 603: Import the no-till anti-blocking unit model into the virtual soil trough and set the operation parameters to simulate the field operation process.
[0126] Specifically, after the virtual soil trench is established, preferably in this embodiment, the SolidWorks 3D model of the no-till anti-blocking unit 1 at a scale of 1:1 is imported into the discrete element simulation software EDEM as a .STEP format file.
[0127] The no-till anti-clogging unit 1 is positioned at one end of the virtual soil trough 2 to begin operation. To ensure the continuity of the operation process of the no-till anti-clogging unit 1 and the movement of soil and straw particles, the minimum calculation step size is set to 0.0001s, the total simulation time is 3.0s, and the grid size is set to 2.5 times the minimum soil particle size, i.e., 17.5mm. The simulation operation process of the no-till anti-clogging unit 1 is shown in Figures 4 and 5.
[0128] Step 604: Compare the simulation results with the actual results.
[0129] Specifically, after the simulation is completed, the simulation process needs to be observed multiple times, and the interaction between the no-till anti-blocking monomer 1 and the soil and straw particles needs to be analyzed to see if it is consistent with the field operation process. If the simulation effect is not ideal, it is necessary to return to step 601 to readjust the parameters until the ideal simulation effect is achieved before proceeding to the next step.
[0130] Step 605: Establish a quantitative analysis model for the machine's passability.
[0131] Specifically, the quantitative analysis model for the machine's passability is the sum of steps 301 to 308, as detailed above.
[0132] Step 309, the computer has a congestion rate Δ;
[0133] Step 310: Analyze and classify the experimental data.
