Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of precise control of the drying process in agricultural drying machinery, and in particular to a system and method for predicting and locating the drying cycle boundary point of a cross-flow batch circulating grain dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanized grain drying is a crucial step in post-harvest grain processing. Precise control of the grain drying process based on optimized drying technology can effectively reduce energy consumption and ensure grain quality. When using optimized drying technology for mechanized grain drying, given the batch-cycle drying characteristics of cross-flow batch dryers for paddy rice, it is necessary to accurately locate the cycle boundary points between each cycle. Then, at these cycle boundary points, the drying process parameters can be optimized and controlled according to the optimized drying technology.

[0003] Current methods for determining the cycle boundary point in rice drying in grain dryers are outdated, lacking a reliable strategy for locating the cycle boundary point. Consequently, random sampling is often used in actual operations. When using random sampling to control the rice drying process, the grain dryer operator or control system checks the rice moisture content at least three times consecutively. If the average moisture content is close to or lower than the target moisture content at the control node, drying parameters are adjusted or drying is terminated. However, the control point is prone to deviating from the rice drying cycle boundary point. This outdated method for determining the rice drying cycle boundary point in grain dryers makes it difficult to achieve the expected drying effect of the segmented temperature drying process. Therefore, researching a predictive positioning system and method for the drying cycle boundary point in a cross-flow batch grain dryer is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a predictive positioning system and method for the drying cycle boundary point of a cross-flow batch circulating grain dryer, which effectively solves the problem of poor positioning accuracy of the drying cycle boundary point during the grain drying process.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned technical objectives through the following technical means.

[0006] A predictive positioning system for the drying cycle boundary point of a crossflow batch circulating grain dryer includes a 3D radar level scanner, a temperature sensor, a speed sensor, a grain moisture sensor, a signal processing circuit, a data processing system, and a human-machine interface; the 3D radar level scanner, temperature sensor, speed sensor, and grain moisture sensor are connected to the signal processing circuit; the signal processing circuit is connected to the data processing system; and the data processing system is connected to the human-machine interface.

[0007] In the above scheme, the 3D radar level scanner is installed on top of the grain dryer.

[0008] In the above scheme, the temperature sensor is installed in the air inlet duct of the drying section of the grain dryer.

[0009] In the above scheme, the speed sensor is installed on the feeding mechanism of the grain dryer.

[0010] In the above scheme, the 3D radar level scanner is used to detect the grain accumulation structure inside the grain dryer in real time; the temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the drying hot air in real time; the speed sensor is used to detect the speed of the feeding mechanism in real time; and the grain moisture sensor detects the grain moisture content in real time.

[0011] In the above scheme, the grain moisture sensor is installed in the grain flow channel between the screw conveyor and the elevator of the grain dryer.

[0012] In the above scheme, the signal processing circuit filters out data noise and abnormal data points, and applies a sliding time average filtering algorithm to filter the data.

[0013] In the above scheme, the data processing system uses a convolutional neural network with a fusion attention mechanism to perform data fusion prediction and localization of the drying cycle boundary point.

[0014] A method for predicting and locating the drying cycle boundary point of a cross-flow batch circulating grain dryer includes the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: When using a cross-flow batch circulating grain dryer to dry grains, a 3D radar level scanner is used to detect the grain accumulation structure inside the grain dryer, a temperature sensor is used to detect the drying hot air temperature of the grain dryer, a speed sensor is used to detect the speed of the feeding mechanism of the grain dryer, and a grain moisture sensor is used to detect the grain moisture content.

[0016] Step 2: Use signal processing circuit to process the output signals of 3D radar level scanner, temperature sensor, speed sensor and grain moisture sensor and upload them to data processing system for processing, to obtain and record grain volume time series data, drying hot air temperature time series data, feeding mechanism speed time series data and grain moisture content time series data.

[0017] Step 3: In the initial stage of grain drying, the data processing system, based on the structural parameters of the grain dryer and the principle of heat and mass exchange during drying, calculates the drying cycle boundary between the first and second cycle based on the grain volume time-series data, the drying hot air temperature time-series data, the feeding mechanism speed time-series data, and the grain moisture content time-series data. This point is the drying cycle boundary between the first and second cycle.

[0018] Step four, the second cycle execution phase: Based on the grain moisture content time-series data, the data processing system uses an early classification and identification method to predict the end point of the second cycle, which is the predicted drying cycle boundary point a between the second and third cycles; During the drying process of the second cycle, based on the start point of the second cycle, the drying hot air temperature time-series data, the feeding mechanism speed time-series data, and the grain moisture content time-series data, the data processing system predicts the end point of the second cycle based on the drying heat and mass exchange principle, which is the predicted drying cycle boundary point b between the second and third cycles;

[0019] Step 5: The data processing system uses a convolutional neural network with a fusion attention mechanism to fuse data at the drying cycle prediction boundary point a and the drying cycle prediction boundary point b, and determines the drying cycle fusion prediction boundary point between the second cycle and the third cycle.

[0020] Step Six: After the second cycle of drying is completed, the data processing system, based on the structural parameters of the grain dryer and the principle of heat and mass exchange during drying, locates the drying cycle correction boundary point between the second and third cycles according to the grain volume time-series data, drying hot air temperature time-series data, feeding mechanism speed time-series data, and grain moisture content time-series data. The key parameters of the precise positioning method for the drying cycle boundary point are then optimized online based on the difference between the drying cycle correction boundary point and the drying cycle fusion prediction boundary point.

[0021] Step 7: The data processing system transmits the grain moisture content time series data, drying cycle fusion prediction boundary point, and drying cycle correction boundary point information of the grain dryer to the human-machine interface for display, and performs real-time positioning and display of the drying cycle boundary point.

[0022] Step 8: When entering the next cycle, repeat steps 4 to 7 until the target termination moisture content is reached, thus realizing the prediction and positioning of the drying cycle boundary point of the entire grain drying process.

[0023] The formula for calculating the drying cycle boundary point between cycles in the above scheme is as follows:

[0043] A method for predicting and locating the drying cycle boundary point of a cross-flow batch circulating grain dryer includes the following steps:
