Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle spraying, and in particular relates to a plant leaf spraying system and method. Background Art

[0002] Use surface vessels to carry spraying equipment and spray crops directly on the water surface. Although this method can be operated close to the water surface, the use of large equipment has poor maneuverability in small water bodies or densely planted areas, and it is easy to damage aquatic plants. Therefore, with the development of science and technology, in order to overcome the above defects and spray pesticides on crops, drone technology has been widely used in agriculture. Drones have the advantage of spraying pesticides on large areas of crops efficiently and evenly without contacting the crops, which is especially beneficial for wetland crops.

[0003] Although drone spraying technology has improved the efficiency and range of pesticide application, its spraying method mainly uses drones to carry medicine storage boxes, fix horizontal or inclined pipes on the lower side of the drone, and connect the pipes to the medicine storage boxes through water pumps. Then, multiple atomizing nozzles are set on the pipes. In this way, the drone can carry the medicine to spray on the top of the plant. The medicine is sprayed from top to bottom, and most of the liquid medicine is sprayed on the upper side of the plant leaves, that is, the light-facing side of the leaves.

[0004] Through research on plants, it was found that the back of the plant is where pests and diseases are more likely to gather. At present, most of the nozzles in agricultural spraying technology are fixed at a single angle. When in use, the drone needs to lower the flight altitude and use the nozzle to penetrate between the plants to spray above or below the leaves of the plants. Due to the different growth stages of crops, or three-dimensional planting and multi-level crop layout, the branches and leaves of the crops are unevenly distributed, and the gaps between the branches and leaves are large or small. In order to fully spray the crops during spraying, the drugs are often sprayed continuously at the same position indiscriminately, which not only causes a waste of some drugs, but also leads to excessive drugs on some crops and insufficient drugs on other crops. It has certain limitations, and the spraying on the bottom of the plant leaves is uneven and incomplete, affecting the prevention and control of pests and diseases. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve comprehensive and uniform spraying of liquid medicine on the bottom of the plant leaves and improve the control effect of pests and diseases, this embodiment provides a plant leaf spraying system and method, including a spraying assembly arranged on a drone, the spraying assembly including a spraying part, an angle adjustment unit and a control unit. The angle adjustment unit includes a driving part, a connecting rod 2 and a rotating part 3. The connecting rod 2 is arranged vertically, its upper end is fixed to the drone, and its lower end is detachably connected to the driving part. The rotating part 3 is connected to the driving part, the spraying part is fixed on the rotating part 3, and the driving part is used to drive the rotating part 3 to carry the nozzle 1 to adjust different angles in the horizontal direction; the control unit includes a collection module and a processing module and the two are electrically connected. The collection module is arranged on the angle adjustment unit, which is used to collect light from the bottom of the plant leaves, and the processing module is electrically connected to the driving part, which is used to control the driving part to adjust the angle of the nozzle 1 through the collected light information.

[0033] Specifically, the nozzle 1 can be extended below the leaf surface of the plant through the cooperation of the drone and the connecting rod 2. The processing module controls the driving unit to adjust the angle of the nozzle 1 by processing the light information collected by the collection module, so that the nozzle 1 can be directed to below the leaf surface of the plant and realize multi-angle and all-round spraying, which can ensure accurate spraying below the leaf surface of the plant, and comprehensively and evenly spray the liquid medicine at the bottom of the leaf surface of the plant, thereby improving the prevention and control effect of diseases and insect pests.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, further, the spraying part includes a spray head 1, a nozzle 15, a memory metal ring 16 and a heating ring 17. The spray head 1 is connected to the rotating part 3, and the nozzle of the spray head 1 faces upward. The liquid outlet of the spray head 1 is provided with a nozzle 15, one end of the nozzle 15 is fixedly connected with a screw sleeve, the screw sleeve is screwed to the spray head 1, the inner wall of the nozzle 15 is surrounded by a memory metal ring 16, the outer wall of the nozzle 15 is provided with a heating ring 17, and the heating ring 17 is electrically connected to the processing module. The memory metal is a special metal material that can recover its original macroscopic shape in another temperature range after undergoing plastic deformation in a certain temperature range. Therefore, the memory metal ring 16 can be deformed with temperature changes. From Q=I^2RT (I is the current, R is the resistance value, and T is the power-on time), it can be seen that part of the electrical energy will be converted into thermal energy during the current transmission process, thereby causing the memory metal ring 16 to deform. After receiving information feedback, the heating ring 17 generates heat through the thermal effect of the current, causing the memory metal ring 16 to deform, thereby changing the shape of the nozzle, causing the spraying pressure and atomization degree to change, making the spraying on the leaf surface more uniform and comprehensive, and achieving a better spraying effect.

[0035] See also Figure 1 As shown, further, the driving part includes a base 4, a supporting plate 5, a magnetic block 6 and a plurality of electromagnets 7. The base 4 is detachably connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 2, the supporting plate 5 is arranged on the upper side of the base 4, and a plurality of electromagnets 7 are distributed in a circular array between the base 4 and the supporting plate 5, and two adjacent electromagnets 7 are fixedly connected by an insulating sheet, the lower end of the electromagnet 7 is fixedly connected to the base 4, and the upper end is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 5, and an annular groove is provided on the lower side wall of the supporting plate 5 facing the electromagnet 7, the magnetic block 6 slides in the annular groove, the rotating member 3 is fixedly connected to the magnetic block 6, the nozzle 1 is fixed on the rotating member 3, and the collection module is arranged on the upper side of the supporting plate 5. Applying the principle of electromagnetic induction, the current size is changed through high and low level signals. According to F=BI L (F is Ampere force, B is magnetic induction intensity), I is the current size), L is the length of the electromagnet), when the magnetic induction intensity and the length of the magnet remain unchanged, the change in the current size can change the magnetic force size, thereby attracting the magnetic suction block 6 to change different positions in the annular groove, that is, to adjust the angle of the nozzle 1. When spraying below the crop leaf surface, the light intensity collected by the collection module is the weakest position, that is, here is the lower side of the leaf surface. At this time, the corresponding electromagnet 7 at this location is energized to generate magnetic force, attracting the rotating part 3 to drive the nozzle 1 to this position.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, further, the acquisition module includes a plurality of photosensitive sensors 8 distributed in a circular array, corresponding to a plurality of electromagnets 7 one by one, the photosensitive sensors 8 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the supporting plate 5, and the photosensitive sensors 8 are electrically connected to the processing module. Under normal circumstances, the output of the photosensitive sensor 8 maintains a high level. When the light intensity becomes low, the output signal of the photosensitive sensor 8 changes, and the information is fed back to the processing module. The processing module controls the electromagnet 7 at the position where the light is low to be energized, so as to realize the angle adjustment of the nozzle 1, which is convenient and fast, and has higher application accuracy. Further, when all the photosensitive sensors 8 are blocked, it means that there are crops that need to be sprayed in all directions above the nozzle 1. At this time, the start-up order of the electromagnets is sorted according to the light intensity sensed by the photosensitive sensor 8. The weaker the light intensity sensed by the photosensitive sensor 8, the denser the crops here are, which blocks more sunlight; the stronger the light intensity sensed by the photosensitive sensor 8, the sparser the crops here are, and more sunlight passes through the crops. According to the light intensity, the electromagnet 7 corresponding to the photosensor 8 with the weakest light sensitivity is activated first, so that the nozzle sprays the area, and then the electromagnet 7 corresponding to the photosensor 8 with slightly stronger light sensitivity is activated, and so on, and finally the electromagnet 7 corresponding to the photosensor 8 with the strongest light sensitivity is activated. The photosensors 8 with the same light sensitivity are activated according to the principle of proximity, that is, the electromagnet 7 that is closer to the last activated electromagnet 7 is activated first. According to this principle, the work can be completed when all photosensitive chips are blocked.

[0037] See also Figure 1 As shown, further, a lifting assembly is provided between the connecting rod 2 and the base 4, and the lifting assembly includes a sleeve 9, the upper end of the sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 2, and a memory metal column 10 is inserted at the lower end and the two are slidably connected, the upper end of the memory metal column 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the sleeve 9 close to the connecting rod 2 with an elastic member 11, the lower end of the memory metal column 10 passes through the sleeve 9 and is fixedly connected to the base 4, and a heating sleeve 12 is mounted on the outer wall of the sleeve 9, and the heating sleeve 12 is electrically connected to the processing module.

The element storage box is installed on the drone. The detector, the first pump body and the second pump body are all electrically connected to the processing module. The detector is used to analyze the element content of the plant body fluid collected by the probe 18 and transmit the analysis results to the processing module. The processing module is used to control the second pump body to extract the elements lacking in the plant from the plant element box by comparing with the set value and input them into the probe 18 and inject them into the plant. When in use, the probe 18 uses the first pump body to transport the collected plant body fluid to the detector, analyze the plant element content and transmit the analysis results to the processing module. The processing module compares with the set value to determine whether it is necessary to supplement the elements. When it is necessary to supplement the elements, the second pump body is controlled to extract the elements lacking in the plant from the plant element box and input them into the probe 18 and inject them into the plant.

In addition, a drug solution tank is also arranged on the water tank, which is connected to the water tank and is provided with a valve. When the device is in use, after receiving the input signal, the water pump can be directly placed below the water surface on the lower side of the aquatic crop, the water pump is turned on to start working, and the water source is pumped into the water tank. At the same time, the liquid level sensor identifies the water level. After reaching the predetermined height, the water pump stops working. At the same time, during the process of pumping water, the drug solution pre-configured on the water tank is transported to the water tank to realize the configuration of the drug solution. After the spraying signal is identified, the water pump pumps water into the nozzle 1 through the drainage pipe to spray the pesticide out.

[0042] According to the above-mentioned plant liquid surface spraying system, the method for using the spraying drug comprises the following steps:

[0043] Spraying mode 1: Input the corresponding route of the drone for spraying pesticides into the memory, load the corresponding required pesticide particles into the pesticide box, and check whether each component is working properly. At the beginning of the spraying mode, the nozzle 1 is in the default initial position, and the drone enters the working area to prepare for spraying pesticides on the back of the crop. After entering the working area, the crop blocks the photosensitive sensor 8 around the nozzle 15, activates the electromagnet 7 at the corresponding position, and the magnetic attraction block 6 causes the rotating part 3 to drive the nozzle 15 to rotate to a position with low light intensity, that is, at this time, the nozzle 1 rotates to the lower side of the crop leaf surface to spray pesticides at the corresponding position; at the same time, the processing module is used to control the heating ring 17 to be energized, and the heating ring 17 is used to heat the memory metal ring 16, so that the memory metal ring 16 is deformed, and the density of the nozzle 15 spraying the medicine is changed, so as to spray the back side of the crop leaf surface; at the same time, the processing module is used to control the telescopic movement of the electric telescopic rod 20, so that the angle of the nozzle 1 in the vertical direction changes, which can effectively spray the bottom of the leaf surface evenly.

[0044] Spraying mode 2: When all the photosensitive sensors 8 are blocked, it means that there are crops that need to be sprayed in all directions above the nozzle 1. At this time, the activation order of the electromagnets is sorted according to the light intensity sensed by the photosensitive sensors 8. The weaker the light intensity sensed by the photosensitive sensors 8, the denser the crops here are, which blocks more sunlight; the stronger the light intensity sensed by the photosensitive sensors 8, the sparser the crops here are, and more sunlight penetrates the crops. According to the light intensity, the electromagnet 7 corresponding to the photosensitive sensor 8 with the weakest light sensitivity is activated first, so that the nozzle sprays the area, and then the electromagnet 7 corresponding to the photosensitive sensor 8 with slightly stronger light sensitivity is activated, and so on, and finally the electromagnet 7 corresponding to the photosensitive sensor 8 with the strongest light sensitivity is activated. The photosensitive sensors 8 with the same light sensitivity are activated according to the principle of proximity, that is, the electromagnet 7 that is closer to the last activated electromagnet 7 is activated first. According to this principle, the work can be completed when all photosensitive chips are blocked.

[0045] Spraying mode 3: The drone leaves the working area, and the light sensor 8 cannot detect changes in light intensity, so it is ready to spray pesticides on the front of the crop. The heated memory metal column 10 is set according to the maximum height of the crop in the area, so that the nozzle 1 and the base 4 are lifted to a suitable height and returned to the working area. The nozzle 15 is adjusted to a horizontal position using the electric telescopic rod 20, and a circle of electromagnets 7 is activated to attract the nozzle 1 to rotate. The nozzle 1 works horizontally at 360° to spray pesticides on the crop surface. Spraying is completed, the spraying mode is closed, and each component returns to the initial state.

[0046] Detection mode: Input the route of the area to be detected into the memory of the control unit, and the drone will return to the working area again to detect the crops in the area input into the memory. The drone randomly selects crops and inserts the probe 18 to collect body fluids for detection. The element content of the crop body fluids is analyzed by the detector. The analysis results are input into the processing module and compared with the preset values. Then the second pump body is used to input the missing trace elements into the probe 18, and the probe 18 is used to inject into the trunk of the plant (if there is a risk of disease, the corresponding trace elements are injected for prevention). At the same time, if more than 30% of the plants selected for detection by the probe 18 in the spraying area are seriously infested and have a high pesticide content, a signal is sent to the processor, and the processor controls the electric door 14 of the spherical cabin 13 to open and release the biological seedlings used for pest control for biological control. The cycle is carried out until the entire working area is detected. The work is completed after both the spraying mode and the detection mode are completed.
