[0045] The rack 14 is also provided with a collection device electrically connected to the cutting structure and collecting the position information of the rack 14. The collection device includes an industrial camera and an electromagnetic sensor arranged on the connecting frame 21. The industrial camera is provided with two and faces the advancing direction. The electromagnetic sensor is provided with a plurality of electromagnetic sensors arranged along the width direction of the degradable film. The electromagnetic sensor is located in front of the edge roller. The rack is also provided with a U-shaped rod extending forward and fixing the electromagnetic sensor. The electromagnetic sensor is used to detect the movement of the mechanical hand, so as to upload the real-time situation to the control box. The mechanical hand is installed on the transplanter. When the film is covered, the mechanical hand will move.

[0046] The industrial camera 19 takes real-time images when advancing and uploads them to the control module in the control box 3. The control module has a large amount of picture information collected in the field in advance, with a rich sample data set. Then, the original data set is preliminarily processed through image processing technology, so that the features of the end of the field have strong contrast, facilitating further accurate identification of the features of the end of the field. Next, through the deep learning model based on YOLO v8 after training, a horizontal line representing the end of the rice field is fitted in the picture of the end of the field, and after verification by the verification set, it is concluded that the fitting degree meets the actual use requirements. By comparing the real-time image with the above-mentioned pre-trained data set, the terminal of the machine and the rice field can be quickly and accurately identified.

[0048] The storage battery 2 is also connected to the stepping motor 7. The display screen 1 is a touch screen, which can realize man-machine interaction.

[0049] A use method of a film covering and cutting system suitable for degradable film, comprising the following steps:

[0050] a、When the rice film mulching and transplanting machine is performing film mulching work, the degradable film roll is placed on the film placing shaft 5, and the stretched degradable film rotates in turn through the film spreading shaft 12, the film cutting block 10, the film pressing roller 8 and the edge pressing wheel 6. The film pressing roller 8 fully adheres the degradable film to the soil, and the edge pressing wheel 6 extrudes the two edges of the degradable film under the soil. The degradable film is stretched and tightened by pulling, and in addition, the surface of the degradable film is naturally expanded in the width direction under the tension in the forward and backward directions, and is uniformly distributed on the surface of the film spreading shaft 12, the film placing shaft 5, the film cutting groove and the film pressing roller 8;

[0051] When the rice film mulching and transplanting machine moves forward for work, the degradable film has a backward pulling force after being covered on the soil, thereby driving the film placing shaft 5 to rotate in the opposite direction of the wheels of the rice film mulching and transplanting machine, so that the degradable film is conveyed. As the rice film mulching and transplanting machine starts to move forward for film mulching, the degradable film can be covered on the rice field to achieve the purpose of film mulching.

[0052] b、When approaching the end of the rice field, the industrial camera 19 located at the front end of the rice film mulching and transplanting machine takes real-time images during forward movement and uploads them to the control module in the control box 3. The control module has a large amount of collected picture information at the end of the field beforehand, with a rich sample data set. Then, the original data set is preliminarily processed through image processing technology, so that the characteristics of the end of the field have a strong contrast, facilitating further accurate identification of the characteristics of the end of the field. Next, through the deep learning model based on YOLO v8 after training, a horizontal line representing the end of the rice field is fitted in the picture at the end of the field, and after verification by the verification set, it is concluded that the fitting degree meets the actual use requirements. By comparing the real-time image with the above-mentioned pre-trained data set, rapid and accurate identification of the end of the machine and the rice field can be achieved.

[0053] Meanwhile, the electromagnetic inductor 24 located above the mechanical hand of the rice film mulching and transplanting machine also detects the stop of the mechanical hand. When the mechanical hand stops moving for 10 seconds and the industrial camera 19 also detects that it is within the range of the end of the rice field, it will transmit communication to the STM32 single-chip microcomputer through the microcomputer in the control box 3 to prepare for film cutting instructions.

[0054] c、After the film cutting instruction is issued, the STM32 single-chip microcomputer first detects whether the film cutting knife 9 is in the initial position through the infrared sensor 22. If it is not in the initial position, the indicator light above it will flash red light to report an error through the single-chip microcomputer, avoiding the situation of mistakenly damaging or damaging the film and the film cutting knife. When the detection is correct, the STM32 single-chip microcomputer will cut the film according to the manually set film cutting speed.

[0055] That is, the STM32 single-chip microcomputer 3 transmits an electrical signal to the stepping motor 7, which drives the conveyor belt 11 to drive the cutting knife to slide and cut the degradable film.

[0056] The display screen 1 located above the control box 3 can manually set parameters, adjust the operation of the rice film mulching and transplanting machine, and can perform human-computer interaction. The industrial camera 19, the infrared distance sensor 20, the display screen 1 and the control box 3 are connected with the storage battery 2, and power support is given, so that the functions of identification and detection are realized in operation.

[0057] The traditional film cutter needs to use a knife to cut the film manually, which is extremely inefficient and depends on the manual skills and speed of the operator. In large-area rice field operations, it significantly increases the operation time, thereby affecting the overall efficiency of the farmland management. The advantage of the present application is that the end point of the rice field is identified by the acquisition device to realize the automatic film cutting function, solving the problem of low working efficiency of the rice film mulching and transplanting machine in the past and improving the intelligent level.

[0058] The system effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual film cutting. After using the device, the operator does not need to move frequently and bend for a long time in the field, greatly reducing the burden of physical labor, especially in bad weather conditions, which is particularly important.

[0059] Using a knife to cut the film has certain safety hazards, and improper operation may cause cutting injury, especially in poor visibility or complex operating conditions. In addition, this method may also cause uneven film covering and inaccurate use of film material, resulting in waste.

[0060] When using the present application, the system can more accurately control the cutting and laying of the film material, thereby improving the quality and uniformity of the film covering, helping to ensure the stability and controllability of the growth environment of crops, such as moisture retention and temperature control, thereby improving the growth quality and yield of crops.

[0061] Manual film cutting can easily lead to uneven or irregular film covering, further affecting the growth environment of crops, such as moisture retention and temperature control, thereby reducing the growth quality and yield of crops.

[0062] The system has the characteristics of strong adaptability and simple operation, which can meet the needs of different operating conditions, such as different field environments and film material characteristics, so that farmers can easily operate even if their technical level is not high. Due to the consistency of film cutting, each cutting can maintain the same quality and precision, maximizing the use of each piece of film material and reducing the waste of time caused by irregular or uneven cutting. The neat and consistent film cutting ensures the optimal use of film material, reduces material waste and reduces overall cost. The neat cutting makes subsequent film covering operations more convenient, and the subsequent film material can be easily and accurately connected to the previous film material. Due to the consistent film cutting, the overall film covering quality of the farmland is improved, which helps to maintain moisture, control temperature and control weeds, ultimately improving the yield and quality of crops

When the rice mulching transplanter moves forward, the biodegradable film has a backward pulling force after being covered by the soil, which drives the film placement shaft to rotate in the opposite direction to the rice mulching transplanter wheels, so that the biodegradable film begins to be covered as the rice mulching transplanter moves forward, and the biodegradable film can be covered on the paddy field to achieve the purpose of mulching. b. When approaching the end of the rice field, the industrial camera (19) at the front of the rice mulching transplanter captures real-time images of the machine moving forward and uploads them to the control module in the control box (3). The control module contains a large number of field head images collected in advance, and has a rich sample dataset. Then, the original dataset is preliminarily processed by image processing technology to make the features of the field head have a strong contrast, which facilitates the accurate identification of the features of the field head. Next, after training with a deep learning model based on YOLO v8, a model is developed that can fit a horizontal line in the field head image to represent the end of the rice field. After verification with the validation set, it is concluded that the fitting degree meets the actual use requirements. By comparing the real-time images with the pre-trained dataset, it is possible to quickly and accurately identify the machine and the rice field terminal. At the same time, the electromagnetic sensor (24) located above the robot arm of the rice transplanter will also detect that the robot arm has stopped moving. When the robot arm stops moving for 10 seconds and the industrial camera (19) also detects that it is within the range of the end of the paddy field, it will transmit communication to the STM32 microcontroller through the microcomputer in the control box (3) to prepare the film cutting instruction. c. After the film cutting command is issued, the STM32 microcontroller first uses the infrared sensor (22) to detect whether the film cutting knife (9) is in the initial position. If it is not in the initial position, the indicator light above it will flash red to report an error through the microcontroller, thus avoiding accidental damage to the film and the film cutting knife. When the detection is correct, the STM32 microcontroller will cut the film according to the film cutting speed set manually. That is, the control box (3) transmits the electrical signal to the stepper motor (7), the stepper motor (7) drives the conveyor belt (11) to drive the conveyor belt (11) to slide and cut the biodegradable film.
