Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a hybrid combine harvester and a control method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Agricultural machinery equipment is an important foundation of modern agriculture. With the development of new production modes and new production modes of modern agriculture, higher and higher requirements are put forward for production efficiency, environmental protection, green energy saving and other aspects. The traditional combine harvester adopts the mode of diesel engine + mechanical transmission, and its power transmission device is through the output of the engine through multi-stage transmission, which has many components, long path, low transmission efficiency and high failure rate; under different working conditions, the working parameters cannot be accurately adjusted in real time, which makes the machine operation performance unstable, the energy utilization rate is low, and the fuel consumption and carbon emission of the whole machine are greatly increased.
[0003] A series oil-electric hybrid combine harvester provided in the prior art inputs the power of the engine into the power take-off shaft PTO and the generator through the transfer case, and a clutch is arranged between the generator and the transfer case. By cutting off the power driving the generator, all the power of the engine is transmitted to the power take-off shaft PTO to drive the cylinder of the threshing system and the fan of the cleaning system. If there is no such clutch, it will affect the working efficiency of the cylinder of the threshing system and the fan of the cleaning system. Therefore, the prior art has the following disadvantages:
[0004] (1) The generator and the power take-off shaft PTO are connected through a transfer case, and a clutch is arranged between the generator and the transfer case, which has a complex structure and the transfer case increases the efficiency loss;
[0005] (2) The cylinder and the fan of the cleaning system are directly connected with the engine through a transmission device, and the real-time feeding amount cannot be detected. When the feeding amount is too large, the engine speed decreases or even stops, which greatly reduces the working efficiency and increases the labor intensity;
[0006] (3) The cylinder with the largest power of the feeding system is directly driven by the engine through the power take-off shaft PTO, and the real-time power of the cylinder cannot be detected. The power or speed of other systems cannot be adjusted through the real-time power of the cylinder, so that the current engine power cannot be maximized, which reduces the working efficiency and increases the energy consumption.

The power take-off shaft PTO 32 is drivingly connected to the header system 10 and the cleaning system 20 through a transmission device. In the embodiment, the power take-off shaft PTO 32 is not connected to the reel 14 in the header system 10 and the fan 24 in the cleaning system 20.
[0062] The generator 33 is connected to the power battery pack 34, and the power battery pack 34 can be charged through the generator 33. The power battery pack 34 can also be charged through an external power source. Further, the generator 33 and the power battery pack 34 are both connected to a walking motor 61a in the walking system 60, a cylinder motor 51a in the threshing system 50, a fan motor 24a in the cleaning system 20 and a reel motor 14a in the header system 10 through a power distribution device, and the power distribution device is used for on-demand distribution of the electric energy provided by the generator 33 and the power battery pack 34 to drive the corresponding walking motor 61a, cylinder motor 51a, fan motor 24a and reel motor 14a to work. The control system 40 is used for controlling the working of the power battery pack 34, the engine 30 and the generator 33.
[0063] The control system 40 includes a motor controller 43, a vehicle controller 41 and a sensor 42. The motor controller 43 is connected to the power distribution device, the generator 33 and the power battery pack 34 respectively. The vehicle controller 41 is connected to the engine 30. The sensor 42 is used to detect the rotating speed of the power take-off shaft PTO 32 and feed the rotating speed signal to the motor controller 43 and the vehicle controller 41, which are used to control the power compensation of the corresponding generator 33, engine 30 and power battery pack 34 according to the rotating speed signal.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The header system 10 further includes a beater 14, a cutter 12, a header auger 11 and a conveyor belt 13. The beater 14 is connected to a beater motor 14a and driven by the beater motor 14a to work. The cutter 12, the header auger 11 and the conveyor belt 13 are all connected to the power take-off shaft PTO 32 and driven by the power take-off shaft PTO 32 to work.
[0065] The cleaning system 20 further includes a fan 24, a cleaning sieve 23, a chaffer 21 and a kernel auger 22. The fan 24 is connected to a fan motor 24a and driven by the fan motor 24a to work.

[0066] Further, in the embodiment, the cleaning sieve 23 includes a shaking plate 23a and an upper sieve 23b, a lower sieve 23c and a tail sieve 23d arranged on the shaking plate 23a in sequence. The shaking plate 23a is connected to the power take-off shaft PTO 32, and the power take-off shaft PTO 32 can drive the shaking plate 23a to vibrate at a preset frequency.
[0067] The hybrid combine harvester further includes a grass chopping system 70, wherein the grass chopping system 70 includes a chopper drum 71 which is drivingly connected to the power take-off shaft PTO 32 by a transmission device, so that the chopper drum 71 is indirectly provided by the engine 30 directly.

The walking transmission 61b is connected with the walking motor 61a, and the walking transmission 61b is drivingly connected with the left driving wheel 61c and the right driving wheel 61d. Thus, the power output by the walking motor 61a is firstly transmitted to the walking transmission 61b, and then the walking transmission 61b drives the left driving wheel 61c and the right driving wheel 61d to rotate synchronously, so as to drive the hybrid combine harvester to move.
[0070] In the embodiment, the hybrid combine harvester further comprises a grain storage tank 81 arranged on the frame, and the grain storage tank 81 is used to collect the grain processed by the threshing system 50.
[0071] Further, the embodiment also provides a control method of the hybrid combine harvester, which applies the hybrid combine harvester provided above. The control method of the hybrid combine harvester comprises the following steps.
[0072] starting the engine 30 by the generator 33 in reverse traction;
[0073] driving the header system 10, the cleaning system 20 and the straw crushing system 70 to work by the power output shaft PTO 32 and the power output by the engine 30;
[0074] distributing the electric energy output by the power battery pack 34 and the generator 33 according to the needs by the power distribution device, so as to drive the walking motor 61a, the drum motor 51a, the fan motor 24a and the reel motor 14a to work;
[0075] monitoring the torque and the rotating speed of the walking motor 61a, the drum motor 51a, the fan motor 24a and the reel motor 14a, controlling the rotating speed and the torque of the generator 33, so as to control the electric quantity of the power battery pack 34 in a preset range, and controlling the engine 30 to maintain in the high-efficiency working interval according to the charging and discharging of the power battery pack 34.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 6The control logic of the above-mentioned "starting the engine 30 by reverse traction of the generator 33" is as follows: after the vehicle controller 41 detects the key power-on signal, each system (the hybrid system, the header system 10, the cleaning system 20, the threshing system 50, the walking system 60, the chaff cutting system 70, and the control system 40) starts self-checking, and after no fault is found, the vehicle controller 41 issues a high-voltage instruction to the power battery pack 34, and the power battery pack 34 completes the high-voltage charging. After detecting the key start signal, the vehicle controller 41 requests the generator 33 to enter the torque mode with a target speed of 450 rpm, and starts timing. The generator 33 drives the engine 30 to rotate, and when the speed of the engine 30 is greater than 400 rpm, fuel injection is started. When the speed of the engine 30 is greater than 700 rpm, the engine 30 is successfully started, the vehicle controller 41 requests the generator 33 to unload the torque, the generator 33 exits the speed mode, and rotates with the engine 30. At this time, the engine 30 drives the generator 33 to generate electricity.
[0077] Further, the control method of the hybrid combine harvester further comprises:
[0078] According to the torque and speed of the cylinder motor 51a, the current power consumption of the cylinder motor 51a is calculated. In the case where the power of the cylinder motor 51a is greater than a preset value, the speed and torque of the walking motor 61a are reduced, and the torque and speed of the fan motor 24a and the reel motor 14a are adjusted for adaptation.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 7 In particular, the vehicle controller 41 collects the current speed and torque of the cylinder motor 51a in real time, so as to calculate the current power of the cylinder motor 51a. The current power of the cylinder motor 51a is compared with a preset power. When the power of the cylinder motor 51a is within the preset range, the vehicle controller 41 requests the walking motor 61a, the reel motor 14a, and the fan motor 24a to maintain the current speed. When the power of the cylinder motor 51a is less than the preset value, the vehicle controller 41 requests the walking motor 61a, the reel motor 14a, and the fan motor 24a to increase the speed and increase the feeding amount. When the power of the cylinder motor 51a is greater than the preset value, the vehicle controller 41 requests the walking motor 61a, the reel motor 14a, and the fan motor 24a to reduce the speed and reduce the feeding amount. Through the above control mode, the clogging of the threshing cylinder 51 can be prevented.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 8 The current working condition of the machine is determined by the on-off state of the clutch 31 between the engine 30 and the power take-off shaft PTO 32:
[0081] When clutch 31 is engaged, it indicates that the hybrid combine harvester is in harvesting operation; when clutch 31 is disengaged, it indicates that the hybrid combine harvester is in unloading or transfer mode. During harvesting, due to the speed requirements of components such as the grain auger 22 and the shredder drum 71, the engine 30 needs to run at a fixed 2200 rpm. The operator sets the operating speed through the operating device, and the vehicle controller 41 controls the travel motor 61a to run at the set target speed. At the same time, it controls the speed of the reel motor 14a and the blower motor 24a to be linearly proportional to the speed of the travel motor 61a. When the operating speed is low, the speed of the reel motor 14a and the blower motor 24a also decreases accordingly, avoiding high energy consumption caused by high speed when the feed rate is low. During operation, the speed and torque of the drum motor 51a fluctuate significantly depending on the crop's dryness (dry, semi-dry, green, wet) and the vehicle speed. The vehicle controller 41 monitors the speed and torque of the drum motor 51a in real time, calculates its power, and compares it with a preset power. When the real-time power of the drum motor 51a is within the preset range (a power range set between maximum and minimum), the vehicle controller 41 controls the travel motor 61a to maintain its current speed. When the power of the drum motor 51a is less than the preset value, the vehicle controller 41 requests the travel motor 61a, reel motor 14a, and blower motor 24a to increase their speeds, thereby increasing the feed rate. When the power of the drum motor 51a is greater than the preset value, the vehicle controller 41 requests the travel motor 61a, reel motor 14a, and blower motor 24a to decrease their speeds, thereby reducing the feed rate. This control method prevents the threshing drum 51 from clogging. In summary, by adjusting the speed of the travel motor 61a, a constant maximum feed rate is maintained in the hybrid combine harvester.
[0082] When the hybrid combine harvester is unloading grain or moving to another location, the clutch 31 is disengaged, and the engine 30 operates at an adjustable speed. In unloading and moving operation modes, the vehicle controller 41 calculates the current load power requirement and controls the output power of the generator 33. Since the power requirement for unloading and speed operation is relatively small compared to the rated power of the engine 30, the engine 30 can be controlled to operate at a lower speed.
[0083] The whole vehicle controller 41 determines the optimal fuel consumption working interval of the engine 30 by calculating the power of the current walking motor 61a, the reel motor 14a, the drum motor 51a and the fan motor 24a, combining the current SOC value of the power battery pack 34 and the opening and closing state of the clutch 31, and looking up the engine 30 map. When the SOC of the power battery pack 34 is higher than the preset SOC value, the output power of the generator 33 is reduced by the whole vehicle controller 41; when the SOC of the power battery pack 34 is lower than the preset SOC value, the output power of the generator 33 is increased by the whole vehicle controller 41, so that the engine 30 works in the current demand power and the lowest fuel consumption working interval, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the whole machine of the hybrid combine harvester.
[0084] Compared with the prior art, in the hybrid combine harvester provided in the embodiment, the engine 30 can be directly started by the generator 33, the engine 30 has faster starting response and lower cost. The motor is directly driven in the threshing system 50, the walking system 60, the fan 24 and the reel 14. In the working mode, the output torque (power) of the drum motor 51a is automatically adjusted according to the dry, semi-dry, green and wet states of crops, and the walking speed, the reel 14 and the fan 24 are automatically adjusted following the power change of the drum motor 51a. The harvesting speed is more reasonable in different working conditions, the threshing drum 51 is prevented from being blocked, and the maximum power of the engine 30 can be exerted.
[0085] Further, the power distribution device is arranged between the generator 33 and the power battery pack 34. The generator 33 is directly connected to the motors (the walking motor 61a, the drum motor 51a, the fan motor 24a and the reel motor 14a) of the systems and sub-components through the power distribution device, and always works with the power battery pack 34 according to the power demand. Through the charging and discharging of the power battery pack 34, the energy is reasonably and effectively distributed from the multiple power sources to the multiple target loads, that is, the engine 30 works in the lowest specific fuel consumption interval of the current load demand, and the power of the engine 30 is maximized to improve the working efficiency.
