Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence application technology, and in particular to an intelligent and efficient vegetable defoliating harvester control system and method. Background Art

[0002] At present, lettuce is a widely grown and consumed vegetable, and it plays an important role worldwide. With the continuous advancement of agricultural modernization and the improvement of agricultural mechanization, the scale of lettuce cultivation has gradually expanded, so the demand for lettuce harvesters has also increased. The traditional manual harvesting method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and the leaf removal process is cumbersome, which cannot meet the needs of modern agriculture. In recent years, mechanized operations have been implemented for cultivated land and transplanting work for lettuce cultivation in China, but domestic research on mechanized harvesting technology for vegetables such as lettuce is still being carried out and improved. Although the single-row side-mounted lettuce harvester led by Shi Zhiming has solved a large number of problems in the mechanization of lettuce harvesting in China, it still relies on other agricultural machinery and its lettuce leaf removal function has not been improved, and it is not yet fully intelligent.

[0003] Various domestic vegetable harvesters have big and small problems in terms of technological innovation, product homogeneity, adaptability, cost and environmental protection, and market promotion. Domestic vegetable harvesters often rely on imports for core technologies and key components, and their independent innovation capabilities need to be improved. Most vegetable harvesters on the market have similar functions and technologies, and lack differentiated competition. Some vegetable harvesters are not adaptable to different terrains, especially in rainy and mountainous areas, where their use is limited and affects the user experience of farmers. In addition, the after-sales service network in some areas is not sound, and the supply of accessories is not timely, which affects the user experience. High-performance vegetable harvesters are expensive and not easily accepted by small-scale farmers. The emission levels of some vegetable harvesters fail to meet the latest national environmental protection standards, and they cause great harm to the environment during production and use. The lack of market promotion efforts for some new technologies and new products has led to low awareness of new vegetable harvesters among farmers. China's vegetable harvester companies have made certain progress in technological innovation, product diversification, and intelligent level, but they still face challenges such as insufficient technological innovation capabilities, fierce market competition, and product adaptability and environmental protection performance that need to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0047] The present invention adopts the stm32 microcontroller as the defoliation control board, which has powerful performance and flexibility and can meet the control requirements of our machines. Agricultural machines need to respond quickly to environmental changes and be able to adjust the harvesting speed or steering, etc.; the stm32 chip can provide fast real-time response capabilities to ensure that the machine can adapt to different working conditions in a timely manner. And the stm32 chip adopts advanced low-power design, which can effectively save energy under long-term operation, extend the use time of the machine, and reduce operating costs.

The stm32 chip also has a good cost-effectiveness. Compared with other high-end microcontroller chips, they are lower in cost and suitable for the application of small and medium-sized agricultural machines.

[0048] The control collection module 300 is used to generate and send a collection signal to the harvester after the defoliation process is completed, so as to control the harvester to collect the vegetables after defoliation; and to judge the weight of the collected vegetables based on the pressure sensor and generate a weight judgment result;

If the weight of the collected vegetables reaches the preset threshold, a warning signal is generated and sent to the buzzer to turn on the alarm, and a stop harvesting signal is sent to control the harvester to suspend harvesting.

[0050] The present invention realizes the operation of the entire working system through the cooperation of ultrasonic and visual sensors with programming, ensuring that the harvester can accurately complete the harvesting of lettuce and is safe during operation. First, based on the distance judgment module 100, it is used to detect the distance between the harvester and the vegetable plant based on the image recognition system, and generate and judge whether the harvester is within the preset harvesting distance of the vegetable plant based on the detection result.

If the weight of the collected vegetables reaches the preset threshold, an early warning signal is generated and sent to the buzzer, an alarm is turned on, and a stop harvesting signal is sent to control the harvester to suspend harvesting. The present invention integrates artificial intelligence technology to enable the lettuce harvester to automatically identify old leaves and remove them, further improving its intelligence level and ease of operation.

[0051] 5G technology, or the fifth generation of mobile communication technology, is a new generation of broadband mobile communication technology with the characteristics of high speed, low latency and large connection.

Use 5G technology to collect and process a large amount of real-time data, including weather, land, irrigation, disaster prevention, pests and diseases and other information, and enjoy the convenience brought by the lettuce harvester; 5G provides a low-latency network experience to avoid losses caused by communication delays. 5G technology has higher fault tolerance and information security, providing safer and more reliable protection for information transmission in smart agriculture. At the same time, 5G technology can also realize real-time early warning and monitoring of the crop production management process, avoid losses caused by accidents, and improve the stability and sustainability of management.

[0052] In one embodiment, the distance judgment module 100 is also used to judge whether the harvester is within a preset vegetable plant harvesting distance based on the detection results. If the harvester is not within the preset harvesting distance, a position adjustment signal is sent to control the harvester to adjust its position.

[0053] In one embodiment, the distance determination module 100 is also used to control the harvester to adjust its position to within a preset vegetable plant harvesting distance based on an infrared remote controller.

[0054] In one of the embodiments, the threshold comparison module 400 is also used to compare the weight judgment result with a preset threshold. If the weight of the collected vegetables does not reach the preset threshold, a harvesting signal is sent to the harvester to control the harvester to continue harvesting until the weight of the vegetables reaches the preset threshold.

[0055] See also Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent and efficient vegetable defoliating harvester control method, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S1, detecting the distance between the harvester and the vegetable plants, generating and judging whether the harvester is within a preset harvesting distance of the vegetable plants based on the detection result, and if the harvester is within the preset harvesting distance, sending a harvesting signal to the harvester to control the harvester to start harvesting;

[0057] S2, collecting images of harvested vegetable plants, and comparing the images of the vegetable plants with preset reference vegetable plant images to generate a comparison result; generating and sending a defoliation control signal to a harvester according to the comparison result to control the harvester to perform defoliation processing;

[0058] S3. When the defoliation process is completed, a collection signal is generated and sent to the harvester to control the harvester to collect the defoliated vegetables; and the weight of the collected vegetables is judged based on the pressure sensor to generate a weight judgment result;

[0059] S4. Compare the weight judgment result with the preset threshold value. If the weight of the collected vegetables reaches the preset threshold value, generate and send a warning signal to the buzzer, turn on the alarm, and send a stop harvesting signal to control the harvester to suspend harvesting.

[0060] The present invention realizes the operation of the entire working system through the cooperation of ultrasonic and visual sensors with programming, thereby ensuring that the harvester can accurately complete the harvesting of lettuce and is safe during the operation process. First, the distance between the harvester and the vegetable plants is detected based on the image recognition system, and it is generated and judged based on the detection result whether the harvester is within the preset harvesting distance of the vegetable plants. If the harvester is within the preset harvesting distance, a harvesting signal is sent to the harvester to control the harvester to start harvesting; then the image of the harvested vegetable plants is collected, and the image of the vegetable plants is compared with the preset reference vegetable plant image to generate a comparison result; according to the comparison result, a defoliation control signal is generated and sent to the harvester to control the harvester to perform defoliation; when the defoliation is completed, a collection signal is generated and sent to the harvester to control the harvester to collect the defoliated vegetables; and the weight of the collected vegetables is judged based on the pressure sensor to generate a weight judgment result; finally, the weight judgment result is compared with the preset threshold value. If the weight of the collected vegetables reaches the preset threshold value, a warning signal is generated and sent to the buzzer to turn on the alarm, and a stop harvesting signal is sent to control the harvester to suspend harvesting. The present invention integrates artificial intelligence technology to enable the lettuce harvester to automatically identify old leaves and remove them, thereby further improving its intelligence level and operational convenience.

[0064] The infrared remote controller controls the harvester to adjust its position to within the preset harvesting distance of the vegetable plants.

[0065] This application uses the infrared remote control of the 51 single-chip microcomputer to realize the movement of the harvester. The 51 single-chip microcomputer is a classic 8-bit microcontroller with a simple architecture and an easy-to-understand instruction set. For some simple control tasks, it is more convenient to use the 51 single-chip microcomputer because they do not require too complex programming skills. The cost of the 51 single-chip microcomputer is relatively low, which is suitable for projects with limited budgets. Although the performance of the 51 single-chip microcomputer is lower than that of a 32-bit microcontroller, its response speed may be more reliable in some applications that require real-time response, which may be an advantage for controlling the forward, backward, left and right motion systems of the machine, especially in environments that require fast response. It has existed for decades and has a mature and stable ecosystem and rich support resources.

[0066] In one embodiment, comparing the weight determination result with a preset threshold value further includes:

[0067] If the weight of the collected vegetables does not reach a preset threshold, a harvesting signal is sent to the harvester to control the harvester to continue harvesting until the weight of the vegetables reaches a preset threshold.
