Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery equipment, and particularly relates to a device and a method for rapidly detecting the uniformity of internal pressure of a grass bale. BACKGROUND

[0002] The process of making a silage of king grass generally includes cultivation, mowing, crushing, baling, wrapping, storage and feed making. Since the king grass is wrapped by using the stretch film silage technology, a certain amount of silage agent is mixed before wrapping, and fermentation is carried out in an anaerobic environment to inhibit the proliferation of microorganisms and reduce the loss of nutritional value during silage. A large number of studies have shown that increasing the wrapping density is beneficial to reducing the oxygen content and improving the success rate and quality of silage. Therefore, it is of great significance to ensure the uniformity of the density of the grass bale to make the entire grass bale in the same fermentation process and to make the PH value of the silage feed decrease to the appropriate range of 3.8-5.0 as soon as possible. The pressure distribution inside the grass bale can qualitatively reflect the density distribution and the oxygen content distribution. When the uniformity of the internal pressure distribution of the grass bale is high, it also reflects that the internal oxygen content distribution is relatively uniform. However, there is currently no effective means and device to rapidly detect the uniformity of the internal pressure of the grass bale. SUMMARY

Both the bottom plate and the partition plate have coaxial mounting holes 1104. The bottom thrust bearing 2 is fixed to the mounting hole 1104 on the bottom plate via a bottom support plate 9, and the top bearing 3 is fixed to the mounting hole 1104 on the partition plate via a top limiting plate 10.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower part of the casing 11 has an annular groove 1102 on the tube surface, and six casing limiting holes 1101 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the radial direction of the tube in the annular groove 1102.

[0081] like Figures 4 to 12 As shown, the pressure measuring assembly 21 includes a slider 4, an annular pressure sensor 5, a limiting ring 6, a sliding sleeve 7, a push rod 8, and a pressure block 13.

[0082] The slider 4 is threaded onto the lead screw 1 and can move up and down as the lead screw 1 rotates. Two annular pressure sensors 5 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the slider 4 by limiting rings 6.

[0083] like Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section of the sliding sleeve 7 is circular, with a sliding sleeve hole 702 at the center and six sliding sleeve shafts 701 evenly arranged circumferentially at the edge; the sliding sleeve 7 is axially slidably sleeved on the slider 4 through the sliding sleeve hole 702 and is located between the two annular pressure sensors 5.

[0084] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a push rod 8 is hinged to each sliding shaft 701 of the sliding sleeve 7, and each push rod 8 is hinged to a pressure block 13.

[0085] like Figure 7 As shown, the push rod 8 has a push rod hole 801 and a push rod shaft 802 at both ends, and the push rod 8 is connected to the sliding sleeve shaft 701 through the push rod hole 801.

[0086] like Figure 8As shown, the pressure block 13 includes an arc-shaped plate 1303 and a limiting shaft 1302; the outer end of the limiting shaft 1302 is fixedly connected to the middle of the arc-shaped plate 1303 radially, and the inner end of the limiting shaft 1302 is provided with a hinge hole 1301 that is connected to the push rod shaft 802 of the push rod 8; the pressure block 13 is slidably engaged with the housing limiting hole 1101 on the housing 11 through the limiting shaft 1302; the arc-shaped plate 1303 and the annular groove 1102 are concentric, and the arc-shaped plates 1303 of the six pressure blocks 13 together form a ring that can be completely accommodated in the annular groove 1102. The included angle θ between the limiting shafts 1302 of two adjacent pressure blocks 13 is 60°, and when the arc-shaped plate 1303 is completely accommodated in the annular groove 1102, the outer surface of the arc-shaped plate 1303 is coplanar with the tube surface of the housing 11.

[0087] Preferably, the included angle γ between the left and right end faces of the arc plate 1303 is 50° to prevent grass from entering the annular groove 1102 when the arc plate 1303 is retracted, which would prevent the arc plate 1303 from being completely retracted.

[0088] The power supply 17 is connected to the control box 18, the annular pressure sensor 5, and the motor 15 to provide electrical energy; the control box 18 is connected to the motor 15 and the annular pressure sensor 5 to control the motor 15 and receive the force data collected by the annular pressure sensor 5.

[0089] like Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in the initial state, the slider 4 is located at the position closest to or farthest from the cone head 12, and the arc-shaped plate 1303 of the pressure block 13 is completely accommodated in the annular groove 1102 of the housing 11. When the device is inserted into the bale, the motor 15 is controlled by the control box 18 to drive the lead screw 1 to rotate forward or backward at a certain speed, thereby moving the slider 4 away from or closer to the cone head 12.

[0090] A method for rapidly detecting the internal pressure uniformity of a straw bale using the aforementioned rapid detection device includes the following steps:

[0091] S1. Determine the bale inspection point.

[0092] Take a circular cross section perpendicular to the central axis of the hay bale every 20cm from the bottom. Take a pair of mutually perpendicular diameters on the cross section. Starting from the center of the circle, take a test point every 10cm along the two diameters until the outer contour of the circular cross section. Do not take test points on the outer contour. The total number of test points is recorded as n.

[0093] S2. Data collection of internal pressure in straw bales;

[0094] The rapid detection device for uniform internal pressure of straw bales is inserted into the straw bale at any angle by tapping, so that the pressure block 13 of the pressure testing assembly 21 reaches the selected testing points in sequence.

[0095] The control box 18 controls the motor 15 to drive the lead screw 1 to rotate forward or backward at a certain speed, thereby driving the slider 4 to move away from or towards the cone head 12. The sliding sleeve 7 moves with the slider 4, and at the same time drives the push rod 8 to push the limiting shaft 1302 of the pressure block 13 outward, so that the arc plate 1303 leaves the annular groove 1102, applying a load to the grass until the push rod 8 is parallel to the housing limiting hole 1101 and the arc plate 1303 reaches its limit displacement, ending the loading process. The lead screw 1 continues to rotate with the motor 15, driving the slider 4 to continue moving. The sliding sleeve 7 drives the push rod 8 to pull the limiting shaft 1302 of the pressure block 13 inward, so that the arc plate 1303 completely returns to the annular groove 1102, completing the unloading process. During the loading and unloading process, the annular pressure sensor 5 collects the force data and transmits it to the control box 18. The control box 18 uses formula 1 to calculate the pressure peak value F at each detection point. i Converted into pressure characteristic value p i , i = 1, 2, 3, ..., n;

[0096]

[0097] In Formula 1, p i Let be the pressure characteristic value of the i-th detection point, in Pa and F. i Let A be the peak pressure at the i-th detection point, in N, and let A be the area of ​​the arc-shaped plate 1303, in m². 2 ;

[0098] S3. Calculation of internal pressure uniformity of straw bales;

[0099] S3.1 Calculate the average pressure characteristic value of all detection points using Formula 2:

[0100]

[0101] In formula 2, p is the average of the pressure characteristic values ​​at all detection points, in Pa. iLet be the pressure characteristic value of the i-th detection point, in Pa; n is the total number of detection points.

[0102] S3.2 Calculate the standard deviation of all pressure characteristic values ​​using Formula 3:

[0103]

[0104] In Formula 3, σ is the standard deviation of all pressure characteristic values. The smaller the value of σ, the more uniform the internal pressure environment of the straw bale. p is the average of the pressure characteristic values ​​at all detection points, in Pa. i Let be the pressure characteristic value of the i-th detection point, in Pa; n is the total number of detection points.

[0105] In a preferred embodiment, a round silage bale with a length of 1000mm and a diameter of 1000mm is selected. A circular cross-section perpendicular to the central axis is taken every 20cm from the bottom surface along the central axis of the bale. A set of mutually perpendicular diameters are arbitrarily selected on this cross-section. Starting from the center of the circle, a test point is taken every 10cm along the two diameters until the outer contour of the circular cross-section is reached. No test points are taken on the outer contour, for a total of 68 test points.

[0106] The rapid pressure uniformity testing device inside the hay bale is inserted into the hay bale at any angle, so that the pressure block 13 of the pressure measuring assembly 21 sequentially reaches the selected testing points for testing. The pressure peak value at each testing point is recorded as F. i , i = 1, 2, 3, ..., 68.

[0107] Control box 18 converts the pressure peak value into a pressure characteristic value; it calculates the average value of the characteristic values ​​at all detection points. Calculate the standard deviation of all eigenvalues: The smaller the σ value, the more uniform the internal pressure environment of the straw bale.
