[0043] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this application involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0044] The control method for peeling equipment provided in this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the peeling equipment includes a peeling roller assembly, which comprises a fixed roller mechanism 110 and a moving roller mechanism 120. The peeling roller assembly is used to peel crops. These crops include, but are not limited to, corn, rice, barley, and wheat. The fixed roller mechanism is stationary, while the moving roller mechanism is movable to adjust the gap between the fixed and moving rollers, thereby increasing or decreasing the contact between the crop and the peeling roller.

[0045] Figure 2 The illustration schematically shows a flow chart of a control method for a peeling device according to an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides a control method for a peeling device, which may include the following steps.

[0046] S202, determine the peeling rate and average size of the target crop by the peeling equipment within a preset historical time period prior to the adjustment time point.

[0047] It is understandable that the target crop can be any of the following: corn, rice, barley, wheat, etc. When the peeling equipment peels the target crop, the crop is typically fed continuously into the peeling roller device. During peeling, insufficient friction can lead to incomplete peeling, while excessive friction can result in more grains being broken off. This is because even for the same crop, individual plants vary in size, length, moisture content, etc., depending on the growing location. Therefore, when adjusting the gap between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism, the peeling efficiency and average size of the target crop can be determined within a preset historical time period before the adjustment time. Specifically, the peeling efficiency P refers to the ratio between the number of cleanly peeled crop individuals n and the total number N of crops entering the peeling roller device for peeling. The average size refers to the size of individual crops per unit time, including average diameter and average length. Therefore, it can be understood that the adjustment time point refers to the time point at which the moving roller mechanism of the peeling roller device is adjusted, and the preset historical time period refers to the crop time period of the peeling equipment before the adjustment time point.

[0048] In embodiments of this application, determining the peeling rate and average size of the target crop by the peeling device within a preset historical time period prior to the adjustment time point includes: acquiring crop images of the peeling device within the preset historical time period; and identifying the crop images to determine the peeling rate and average size.

[0049] Crop images refer to images taken by the peeling rollers of a peeling device during the peeling operation on a target crop. Deep learning-trained models can be used to recognize crop images, determine whether the crop has been completely peeled, and thus determine the peeling rate and average size of the target crop over a preset historical time period. Visual recognition methods allow for a more convenient and rapid identification of the peeling quality of the peeling rollers and the condition of the target crop.

[0050] S204, obtain the weight of grains dropped by the peeling equipment and the moisture content of the target crop grains within a preset historical time period.

[0051] Grain drop weight refers to the weight of crop grains that fall off after the peeling equipment has peeled the target crop; that is, the weight of grain loss. Grain moisture content refers to the moisture content of the target crop grains. Based on actual operating conditions, the smaller the gap between the peeling rollers, the greater the probability of kernel breakage in corn. Therefore, grain drop weight is one of the important indicators for evaluating the operating performance of the peeling rollers. Specifically, the grain drop weight within the preset historical time period can be obtained by subtracting the weight at the beginning of the preset historical time period from the weight in the grain recovery bin at the end of the preset historical time period. In one embodiment, the grain loss rate can also be used as a reference indicator instead of the grain drop weight. Grain loss sampling can be performed using a sampling plate of a certain area to collect sample weights or sample images at intervals t within the grain recovery channel. The sample images can be analyzed using visual analysis to determine the percentage of the grain area on the sampling plate.

[0052] S206, obtain multiple adjustment matrices, wherein each set of preset grain moisture content and preset average size determines an adjustment matrix, and each set of preset peeling rate and preset grain drop weight in each adjustment matrix determines a calibration adjustment distance.

[0053] The adjustment matrix is ​​a mathematical matrix used as a reference when adjusting the peeling roller device. The calibrated adjustment distance refers to the adjustment distance of the peeling roller device calibrated through the technical experience of technicians or experiments. The preset grain moisture content, preset average size, preset peeling rate, and preset grain drop weight are all preset by technicians. Each set of preset grain moisture content and preset average size defines an adjustment matrix. That is, for different combinations of preset grain moisture content and preset average size, the corresponding adjustment matrix provides different reference values ​​for adjusting the peeling roller device. Furthermore, each set of preset peeling rate and preset grain drop weight within each adjustment matrix defines a calibrated adjustment distance. That is, for different preset peeling rates and preset grain drop weights, the corresponding calibrated adjustment distance can be found in the adjustment matrix corresponding to the combination of preset grain moisture content and preset average size. It can be understood that multiple adjustment matrices can be combined into a matrix A. First, the corresponding adjustment matrix is ​​found in matrix A based on the preset grain moisture content and preset average size; then, the calibrated adjustment distance is found in the adjustment matrix based on the preset peeling rate and preset grain drop weight.

[0054] In embodiments of this application, the control method further includes the step of determining each adjustment matrix. The steps include: acquiring multiple preset grain moisture contents, multiple preset average sizes, multiple preset peeling rates, and multiple preset grain drop weights; forming a first data group from each preset grain moisture content and each preset average size, and forming a second data group from each preset peeling rate and each preset grain drop weight; determining the target peeling rate and target grain drop weight of the peeling device; for each first data group, conducting experiments on the target crop corresponding to the first data group based on the target peeling rate and target grain drop weight to determine the calibration adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism corresponding to each second data group; and for each first data group, determining the corresponding adjustment matrix based on all calibration adjustment distances corresponding to the first data group.

[0055] It is understandable that the target peeling rate and target grain weight are expected values, which technicians can set based on their technical experience and actual conditions. That is, for each first data group including preset grain moisture content and preset average size, the target crop corresponding to the first data group is tested using peeling equipment. Then, for peeling equipment in each second data group including preset peeling rate and preset grain weight, the distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism can be adjusted. The adjustment distance that meets the target peeling rate and target grain weight is used as the corresponding calibration adjustment distance. Therefore, for each first data group, a corresponding adjustment matrix can be formed based on all the calibration adjustment distances corresponding to the first data group. All the adjustment matrices can also be combined into a matrix for reference.

[0056] S208, find the target adjustment matrix that matches the grain moisture content and average size among multiple adjustment matrices.

[0057] S210, find the target calibration adjustment distance in the target adjustment matrix that matches the grain drop weight and peeling rate.

[0058] According to the above scheme, each adjustment matrix corresponds one-to-one with each set of preset grain moisture content and preset average size. Therefore, a matching target adjustment matrix can be found based on the grain moisture content and average size. Further, the target calibration adjustment distance is searched within the target adjustment matrix based on the grain drop weight and peeling rate. In a specific implementation, if no target adjustment matrix with the same grain moisture content and average size is found, the preset average size closest to the average size and the preset grain moisture content closest to the grain moisture content can be used as references to find a matching target adjustment matrix. Similarly, the grain drop weight and peeling rate can also be searched for their corresponding nearest values ​​to match the corresponding target calibration adjustment distance. In this way, the peeling roller device can quickly adjust to the most suitable interval distance to adapt to different operating environments.

[0059] S212, when the adjustment time point is reached, adjust the moving roller mechanism so that the adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism is the target calibrated adjustment distance.

[0060] In embodiments of this application, the peeling roller device further includes an electric push rod mechanism connected to the moving roller mechanism. Adjusting the moving roller mechanism at the adjustment time point so that the adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism is the target calibration adjustment distance includes: determining the extension length of the electric push rod mechanism according to the target calibration adjustment distance; and adjusting the electric push rod mechanism at the adjustment time point so that the adjustment distance is the target calibration adjustment distance.

[0061] The electric push rod mechanism is connected to the moving roller mechanism. It can be driven by a drive device to extend and retract, thereby moving the moving roller mechanism and achieving automated adjustment of the peeling roller device. The electric push rod can also be replaced by a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or motor. The extension / retraction length of the electric push rod mechanism can be calculated based on the adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism. Therefore, the target calibration adjustment distance in the adjustment matrix can be based on the calibration extension / retraction amount of the electric push rod. By determining the target calibration extension / retraction amount of the electric push rod, the target calibration adjustment distance can be adjusted.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, visual recognition is used to analyze the peeling rate and grain weight within a preset historical time period. Based on these data, the moving roller mechanism of the peeling roller device is automatically adjusted. The peeling roller device uses an electric push rod mechanism to adjust the distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism. Simultaneously, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod mechanism can be measured and fed back to the controller, achieving closed-loop regulation. Specifically, the peeling rate and grain weight can be used as influencing factors and correlated with the extension and retraction of the electric push rod. For example, taking corn as the target crop, it is recommended to use control model matrices with different preset average size L and preset grain moisture content Φ. That is, when the preset average size of corn is... The preset moisture content is In this case, the control target value is reached recursively. The resulting matrix is ​​shown in Table 1 below.

[0063]

[0064] Table 1. Adjustment matrix composed of different preset average size and preset grain moisture content

[0065] Similarly, with the target value of the shelling rate P as p and the target value of the grain loss weight G as g, the deviation of p is divided into a parts and the deviation of g is divided into b parts. After calibration through experiments, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod is adjusted. (1≤x≤a,1≤y≤b) Fill in the table below to obtain each adjustment matrix as shown in Table 2.

[0066]

[0067] Table 2. Multiple adjustment matrices for different preset peeling rates and preset grain loss weights.

[0068] The control program invokes an adjustment matrix, which in turn locates the corresponding extension / retraction amount, enabling real-time adjustment of the electric actuator. It can achieve real-time control of the target value of peeling rate P and the target value of kernel weight G, thereby improving the peeling rate of corn harvesting and reducing kernel loss.

[0069] The peeling equipment described above includes a peeling roller device, which comprises a fixed roller mechanism and a moving roller mechanism. This device is used to peel crops. The peeling equipment targets the target crop's peeling rate, grain loss weight, grain moisture content, and average size. Based on multiple adjustment matrices, it finds a target adjustment matrix that matches the grain moisture content and average size. Within this target adjustment matrix, it finds a target calibration adjustment distance that matches the grain loss weight and peeling rate. When the adjustment time point is reached, the moving roller mechanism is adjusted so that the adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism is the target calibration adjustment distance. Specifically, each set of preset grain moisture content and preset average size determines an adjustment matrix, and each set of preset peeling rate and preset grain loss weight within each adjustment matrix determines a calibration adjustment distance. This solution, by adaptively and dynamically adjusting the height difference between the fixed and moving rollers of the peeling machine according to the operational effect and crop conditions, can improve the peeling rate and operational efficiency during corn harvesting and reduce grain loss.

[0070] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a peeling device according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a peeling device including:

[0071] The peeling roller device 310 includes a fixed roller mechanism 311 and a moving roller mechanism 312. The peeling roller device 310 is used to peel crops, and the moving roller mechanism 312 is used to adjust the distance between the fixed roller mechanism 311 and the moving roller mechanism 312.

[0072] Weight detection device 320 is used to detect the weight of the kernels falling from the peeling equipment;

[0073] Moisture content detection device 330, used to detect the grain moisture content of a target crop; and

[0074] According to the control device 340 for the peeling equipment described above.

[0075] A moisture content detection device can be installed inside the grain recovery bin to monitor the moisture content of the grains or peels after peeling by the peeling roller device in real time. A weight detection device can monitor the weight of the crop grains in the grain recovery bin in real time. Therefore, for any given time period, the weight of the grains dropped can be calculated by subtracting the weight at the start of the grain recovery bin from the weight at the end of the time period. Both the moisture content and the weight of the dropped grains detected by the moisture content detection device can be fed back to the control device used in the peeling equipment. Specifically, the control device can be a VCU (Vehicle Control Unit). The moving roller mechanism is an adjustable peeling roller unit, while the fixed roller mechanism is a fixed, non-adjustable peeling roller unit. The control device can control the moving roller mechanism to adjust the distance between the moving roller mechanism and the fixed roller mechanism based on the received data such as the weight of fallen kernels, kernel moisture content, peeling rate, and average size. This changes the friction of the peeling roller device on the target crop, thereby improving the peeling rate of corn harvesting, reducing kernel loss, and improving the operation quality of the peeling equipment.

[0076] In one embodiment, the peeling device further includes an image acquisition device for acquiring crop images of the peeling device; the electric push rod mechanism includes a position sensor for detecting the position of the electric push rod.

[0077] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The peeling equipment includes a weighing sensor 410, a moisture content sensor 420, a position sensor 430, a camera 440, a VCU 450, a motor 460, and an HMI 470 (Human Machine Interface). The camera, which can be equipped with a logic algorithm for inference, acquires crop images and uses a deep learning model to visually identify whether the crop is cleanly peeled and the individual size of the target crop, thereby determining the peeling rate and average size of the target crop for a preset historical time period. Based on the peeling rate, average size, grain moisture content, and grain weight, a corresponding adjustment matrix is ​​found to determine the corresponding calibration adjustment distance. The proportional valve of the motor is adjusted to drive the electric push rod mechanism to adjust the corresponding extension and retraction. Simultaneously, the position sensor detects the position of the electric push rod and feeds it back to the VCU, achieving closed-loop regulation. The HMI displays the camera image, and the user can input set peeling rate thresholds, grain weight thresholds, and other data on the interface.

[0078] refer to Figure 1 , Figures 5a to 5dIn one embodiment, a peeling roller device is provided. The peeling roller device further includes a first support mechanism 510, a second support mechanism 520, and an electric push rod mechanism 530. A movable roller mechanism 541 is fixedly disposed on the first support mechanism 510, and a fixed roller mechanism 541 is fixedly disposed on the second support mechanism 520. The electric push rod mechanism 530 is connected to the movable roller mechanism 541. The second support mechanism 520 has a first lifting cavity. The electric push rod mechanism 530 passes through the first lifting cavity and is connected to the first support mechanism 510. The electric push rod mechanism 530 drives the first support mechanism 510, causing the movable roller mechanism 541 to perform lifting operations to adjust the distance between the fixed roller mechanism 542 and the movable roller mechanism 541. The first lifting cavity limits the lifting range of the first support mechanism 510. The electric push rod mechanism can push the movable roller to create a height difference with the fixed roller, thereby achieving height adjustment of the peeling roller. Specifically, the second support mechanism can be a channel steel for fixing. As shown in the figure, a hole is opened in the channel steel to form a first lifting cavity. The electric push rod mechanism is connected to the first support mechanism to drive the first support mechanism to rise or fall. The first lifting cavity can accommodate the range of motion (lifting range) of the connection between the electric push rod mechanism and the first support mechanism. It can be understood that the part passing through the first lifting cavity can also be fixed to a part of the first support mechanism or fixed to a part of the electric push rod mechanism. The first support mechanism can be inside or outside the space where the second support mechanism is located, as long as the spatial movement of the first support mechanism can be restricted by the first lifting cavity, which is within the scope of the concept of the embodiments of this application.

[0079] refer to Figures 5a to 5d In one embodiment, the first support mechanism 510 includes multiple push plate assemblies 511 connected end-to-end. Each push plate assembly 511 has a second lifting cavity, and each lifting cavity has a limiting component 512 to limit the lifting range of each push plate assembly 511. Specifically, the first support mechanism can be a square structure composed of multiple push plate assemblies connected end-to-end. The second support mechanism can also be composed of multiple channel steels connected end-to-end. Each push plate assembly can have multiple holes to form corresponding second lifting cavities. A limiting component is provided in the second lifting cavity. The limiting component can be connected to the first support mechanism or to a fixed roller mechanism. The function of the second lifting cavity is similar to that of the first lifting cavity. The difference is that the second lifting cavity is located in the movable first support mechanism, while the fixed limiting component is located in the fixed second support mechanism, while the movable first support mechanism is the one that moves. The above solution increases the contact between the first support mechanism and the second support mechanism. When the first support mechanism is driven to raise and lower the moving roller mechanism, it improves the protection of the space movement of the first support mechanism, thereby increasing the peeling rate of corn harvesting and reducing grain loss.

[0080] refer toFigures 5a to 5d In one embodiment, the first support mechanism 510 has a square structure, and the electric push rod mechanism 530 is placed diagonally across the square structure. The electric push rod mechanism may be equipped with a position sensor to detect the extension and retraction of the electric push rod in real time, thereby detecting the gap distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism. The two electric push rod mechanisms can be placed diagonally across the square first support mechanism, which can stably and uniformly push the first support mechanism, pushing the moving roller to create a height difference with the fixed roller, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the peeling roller.

[0081] The above technical solution utilizes a four-sided first support mechanism to support the moving roller mechanism. Diagonally placed electric push rods drive the first support mechanism, automatically adjusting the distance between the moving roller mechanisms and creating a height difference between them and the stationary roller. This achieves stable and adjustable height for the peeling roller. Lifting cavities are created in the first and second support mechanisms to limit the lifting range of the first support mechanism, improving its spatial control and thus increasing the peeling efficiency and reducing kernel loss during corn harvesting.

[0083] Memory 610 is configured to store instructions; and

[0084] The processor 620 is configured to retrieve instructions from the memory 610 and, when executing the instructions, to implement the aforementioned method for controlling the boom.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the processor 620 can be configured to:

[0086] Determine the peeling rate and average size of the target crop for the peeling equipment within a preset historical time period prior to the adjustment time point;

[0087] Obtain the weight of grains dropped by the peeling equipment and the moisture content of the target crop grains within a preset historical time period;

[0088] Multiple adjustment matrices are obtained, wherein each set of preset grain moisture content and preset average size determines an adjustment matrix, and each set of preset peeling rate and preset grain drop weight in each adjustment matrix determines a calibration adjustment distance;

[0089] Find a target adjustment matrix that matches the grain moisture content and average size among multiple adjustment matrices;

[0090] Find the target calibration adjustment distance in the target adjustment matrix that matches the grain drop weight and peeling rate;

[0091] When the adjustment time point is reached, adjust the moving roller mechanism so that the adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism is the target calibration adjustment distance.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, the processor 620 can be configured to:

[0093] The steps for determining each adjustment matrix include: acquiring multiple preset grain moisture contents, multiple preset average sizes, multiple preset peeling rates, and multiple preset grain drop weights; grouping each preset grain moisture content and each preset average size into a first data group, and grouping each preset peeling rate and each preset grain drop weight into a second data group; determining the target peeling rate and target grain drop weight of the peeling equipment; for each first data group, conducting experiments on the target crop corresponding to the first data group based on the target peeling rate and target grain drop weight to determine the calibration adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism corresponding to each second data group; and for each first data group, determining the corresponding adjustment matrix based on all calibration adjustment distances corresponding to the first data group.

[0094] In this embodiment of the application, the processor 620 can be configured to:

[0095] Determining the peeling rate and average size of the target crop by the peeling equipment within a preset historical time period prior to the adjustment time point includes: acquiring crop images of the peeling equipment within the preset historical time period; and identifying the crop images to determine the peeling rate and average size.

[0096] In this embodiment of the application, the processor 620 can be configured to:

[0097] The peeling roller device also includes an electric push rod mechanism connected to the moving roller mechanism. When the adjustment time point is reached, the moving roller mechanism is adjusted so that the adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism is the target calibration adjustment distance. This includes: determining the extension length of the electric push rod mechanism according to the target calibration adjustment distance; and adjusting the electric push rod mechanism when the adjustment time point is reached so that the adjustment distance is the target calibration adjustment distance.

[0098] Through the above technical solution, the stretching amount is experimentally calibrated based on different preset peeling rates, grain drop weight, grain moisture content, and average size, resulting in multiple adjustment matrices. Multiple sensors combined with deep learning visual analysis are used to obtain the operational effect of the peeling equipment and the specific conditions of the crop. Combining these multiple adjustment matrices, a target adjustment matrix matching the grain moisture content and average size is found. Within this target adjustment matrix, a target calibration adjustment distance matching the grain drop weight and peeling rate is located. At the adjustment time point, the electric push rod is adjusted, thereby adjusting the moving roller mechanism so that the adjustment distance between the fixed roller mechanism and the moving roller mechanism is the target calibration adjustment distance. This solution adaptively and dynamically adjusts the height difference between the fixed and moving rollers of the peeling machine according to the operational effect and crop conditions. This improves the adaptability and self-adjustment of the main unit, and is more precise and stable than manual adjustment based on experience. It can improve the peeling rate of corn harvesting and reduce grain loss.

[0099] This application also provides a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that cause a machine to perform the aforementioned control method for a peeling device.
