Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a grain loss detection method, system, and agricultural machinery. Background Art

[0002] Currently, intelligent harvesters are equipped with loss sensors for detecting grain loss. These sensors are divided into two types based on their function: cleaning loss sensors and entrainment loss sensors. Cleaning loss sensors can be divided into left and right cleaning loss sensors based on their installation location, and entrainment loss sensors can be divided into left and right entrainment loss sensors based on their installation location. The core detection circuit principles of the four sensors mentioned above are the same, and the cleaning loss sensors and entrainment loss sensors have the same structure. However, since the structures of these sensors are identical, it is impossible to determine the accuracy based on appearance. Furthermore, during the actual installation and statistical analysis of grain loss, manual data classification of different sensors is inefficient and prone to errors. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a process flow diagram of an embodiment of a method for detecting grain loss according to the present invention;

[0026] Figure 2 A structural framework diagram of a grain loss detection system embodiment of the present invention is provided. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for detecting grain loss comprises:

[0029] Increase the pins of each grain loss sensor, combine the original pins of each grain loss sensor, and set the power supply combination mode corresponding to different grain loss sensors; when any grain loss sensor collects grain loss data, the data record is collected and transmitted to the storage location corresponding to the solidified message ID of the grain loss sensor through a variable a.

[0030] When the input pin of any grain loss sensor chip collects a grain loss pulse voltage signal, it is counted and assigned to a storage location corresponding to the message ID solidified by the setting module 100, such as variable a.

[0031] In some possible implementations, adding pins to the seed loss sensor facilitates setting different power supply combinations. Using these different power supply combinations, the location of the seed loss sensor can be quickly determined, eliminating the need for manual inspection to identify the source of the data. Solidifying the sensor ID during initial power supply minimizes the risk of abnormal wiring harness damage. Furthermore, simply adding two pins to the seed loss sensor does not irreversibly impact the structure, conserving resources and avoiding waste. Furthermore, adding two pins requires minimal effort and simplifies the process.

[0032] It should be noted that the pins need to be added to the internal chip of the grain loss sensor, and the power supply mode of the pins is collected through high and low level identification.

[0033] There are two types of grain loss sensors: one is the cleaning grain loss sensor, and the other is the entrained grain loss sensor. Usually, only one or two of each type of sensor are required.

[0034] Example 1: The present invention aims to solve the problem that existing CAN bus loss sensors need to be strictly distinguished in multiple different installation positions on the same harvester to accurately feedback the number of lost grains detected at the current position. The solution simplifies the tedious production process, prevents errors, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0035] Two pins are added to each seed loss sensor connected to the existing CAN bus, and four different power supply combinations are used to distinguish seed loss sensors in different locations. The specific definitions and allocations are shown in Table 1 below:

[0036] Table 1

[0037] Sensor Category A1 pin status A2 pin status Left side cleaning loss sensor 24V 0V Right side cleaning loss sensor 0V 24V Left side entrainment loss sensing 24V 24V Right side entrainment loss sensing 0V 0V

[0038] The sensor CPU sends the currently detected cumulative number of lost grains to different message IDs, or sends the detected number of lost grains to different message IDs in real time, depending on the power supply mode of pins A1 and A2. The number of lost grains is obtained through the pressure change signal of the sensor piezoelectric ceramic. When the input circuit voltage signal reaches a certain amplitude, it is judged as a grain impact and counted. The distribution is shown in Table 2 below:

[0048] The detection module 200 is used to: when the input pin of any grain loss sensor chip collects a grain loss pulse voltage signal, count it and assign it to the storage location corresponding to the message ID solidified by the setting module, such as variable a.

[0049] In some possible implementations, adding pins to the seed loss sensor facilitates setting different power supply combinations. Using these different power supply combinations, the location of the seed loss sensor can be quickly determined, eliminating the need for manual inspection to identify the source of the data. Solidifying the sensor ID during initial power supply minimizes the risk of abnormal wiring harness damage.
