Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of arch shed recycling, and in particular relates to an automatic film and rod collecting machine for a small arch shed and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Reasonable planting methods are important for increasing cantaloupe yield and improving its quality. Using small arched film to grow cantaloupe can significantly increase ground temperature, facilitate early sowing, extend the melon's growing period, and improve the melon's resilience to abnormal weather conditions such as low temperatures and sandstorms during the seedling stage, achieving high-quality and high-yield cantaloupe. Furthermore, timely film removal and recycling after the seedling stage can effectively prevent film contamination in cotton fields. The applicant, in publication number CN 109526477 A, provides a shed film covering machine capable of automatically inserting poles and automatically constructing shed film, enabling mechanized construction of small arched films.

[0003] During the test, the small arch film covering machine can complete the operations of pole insertion, film covering and soil covering at one time, and its operating performance meets the design requirements. In the subsequent research and development process, the applicant successively applied for patent technologies including CN 115211316 A, CN 115488127 A, and CN116649133 A for the recycling of shed poles and shed films. However, in practice, it was found that the following problems still exist: when the shed poles are pulled off the ground, they are usually stretched and deformed until their ends are separated from the ground. The excessively long deformation process can easily cause plastic deformation of the shed poles, affecting their performance and lifespan in secondary use. When the shed poles are finally separated from the ground, they usually produce violent vibrations. This vibration not only damages the shed poles themselves, but may also cause the pole-collecting device to shift relative to the ground or equipment, affecting the overall pole-collecting effect and efficiency. In the existing film-collecting device, when the film is separated from the shed poles or the soil, this instantaneous large resistance can easily cause the film to be torn, and the speed change of the tractor during the traction process will affect the tension in the film-collecting process, making it difficult to ensure the film-collecting effect and the integrity of the film, increasing the loss and difficulty of secondary processing.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

[0041] Example 1: Figure 1 The automatic film and pole collecting machine for small arch sheds shown in the figure includes: a frame, a walking mechanism is provided at the bottom of the frame, and the walking mechanism is equipped with a speed sensor for real-time detection of the walking speed; a film recovery mechanism, a shed pole recovery mechanism and a control unit are installed on the frame; the control unit includes a shed pole conveying control module and a film winding control module.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the shed pole recovery mechanism has an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt, and the upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt are driven by a first motor and a second motor respectively.

[0043] like Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the state of the shed pole being retracted is shown. By obtaining the walking speed collected by the speed sensor, and according to the speed difference between the walking speed and the upper and lower conveyor belts, the upper and lower conveyor belts are set at an angle, and the inclination angle is adjustable. By configuring the inclination angle, small arch sheds of different heights can be adapted. For the inclined upper and lower conveyor belts, according to their inclination angles, the speed components of the upper and lower conveyor belts in the horizontal direction are calculated as the upper conveyor belt speed v1 and the lower conveyor belt speed v2. In the initial state, v1=v2=v0, and v0 is the set target speed. According to the obtained real-time walking speed vt, the speed difference between the walking speed vt and v0 is calculated. : , dynamically adjust the speed of the first motor and the second motor, and adaptively correct the pole offset caused by the speed difference.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, if the walking speed vt is greater than v0, the shed pole is in a forward offset state, and the speed difference adjustment amount is calculated , K is the control gain coefficient, which is used to adjust the sensitivity of the response to the speed difference. At this time, the speed of the upper conveyor belt v1 is slowed down and the speed of the lower conveyor belt v2 is accelerated to correct the forward deviation of the shed pole;

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, if the walking speed vt is less than v0, the shed pole is in a backward deflection state. At this time, the speed of the upper conveyor belt v1 is accelerated and the speed of the lower conveyor belt v2 is slowed down to correct the backward deflection of the shed pole.

[0046] A position sensor is provided on the frame in front of the shed pole recovery mechanism for collecting the position information of the shed pole. After obtaining the position information of the shed pole, the control unit dynamically adjusts the upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt.

[0047] Example 2: Tension has nonlinear characteristics, and the travel speed of the frame is one of the factors affecting the tension. In order to ensure constant tension during the film recovery process, the output torque of the third motor must be increased while the diameter of the film wound on the winding roller increases. At the same time, in order to keep the linear speed of the wound film unchanged, the speed of the winding roller must be reduced accordingly. The mechanical characteristics of the torque motor just meet this requirement. When the winding diameter of the winding roller becomes larger, the torque of the wound film can also be increased by controlling the input voltage of the torque motor.

[0048] The film recovery mechanism includes a winding roller, one end of which is coaxially connected to the torque motor, and an encoder is installed on the other end of the winding roller. The film is tensioned by the tension wheel and wound onto the winding roller. The torque motor drives the winding roller to rotate, and the encoder transmits the speed signal to the control unit. The roll diameter changes in real time during the film winding process. The real-time roll diameter D is obtained by real-time calculation of the initial radius of the winding roller, film thickness, and film length, or through an external diameter gauge. When the roll diameter thickness changes, the winding speed is controlled in advance.
