Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural equipment, in particular to a crawler-type spraying machine and an operating method thereof. Background Art
[0002] After the construction of infrastructure such as steel towers, bare land and damaged vegetation are usually left around them, especially on rugged or unstable terrain. The construction of steel towers not only affects the soil structure, but may also cause soil erosion and vegetation destruction, which requires effective supporting restoration work to restore the environment to its original state or improve soil conditions and promote vegetation regrowth.
[0003] At present, soil regreening technology mainly relies on manual or traditional mechanical equipment, but there are the following limitations:
[0004] Inefficiency: Manual spraying is inefficient and cannot cover large areas quickly, especially on irregular and rugged terrain;
[0005] Poor uniformity: Manual operation is difficult to ensure uniformity of spraying, which can easily lead to uneven regreening and affect the quality of vegetation restoration;
[0006] Poor adaptability: Ordinary seeding equipment (usually wheeled) is difficult to operate on uneven or rocky terrain, and it is difficult to adapt to the special terrain around the tower.
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, there is an urgent need to develop a spraying machine that is efficient, adaptable and can operate smoothly in complex terrain, so as to quickly carry out environmental restoration after the construction of the tower.
[0008] For example, the "spray seeder" with patent announcement number CN218277788U uses tracks to move in contact with the ground, making it easier to pass through obstacles and uneven and sloping ground; the front end of the seed spraying tube adopts a flat fan-shaped structure, so that the seeds are sprayed in a fan shape on the ground, and the electric extension makes the spraying more uniform.
[0009] For example, patent publication number CN116569709A "An intelligent spraying machine" can move in complex terrain, reducing the spraying machine's reliance on manual labor during the spraying process.
[0010] However, the existing sprayers are slow to adjust the spray coverage and direction, resulting in overlapping spray areas, wasting the mixture, and prolonging the operation time. Summary of the invention

[0118] The pumping system includes a high-pressure pump 75 , which is connected to the mixing tank 4 and the feed pipe 73 .
[0119] like Figure 8 As shown, the nozzle 72 includes a joint 721 that can be quickly connected to the front end of the nozzle 71, and a plurality of flat discharge heads 722 of a rigid structure arranged in parallel with each other at upper and lower intervals; each flat discharge head 722 is connected to the joint 721 through a flat rubber sleeve 725; a spring 723 is arranged between each flat discharge head 722; and an electromagnet 724 is fixedly arranged on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower outermost flat discharge heads 722;
[0120] The control circuit is used to control the electromagnet 724 to repeatedly turn on and off power;
[0121] When the two electromagnets 724 are energized, they attract each other and squeeze all the flat discharge heads 722 inward to reduce the distance between adjacent flat discharge heads 722 .
[0122] The working principle of the flat discharge port 722 combined with the electromagnet 724 and the spring 723 is as follows:
[0123] The flat discharge port 722 is designed as a plurality of parallel flat discharge ports, connected to the joint 721 through a flat rubber sleeve 725, and a spring 723 is arranged between each discharge port. Electromagnets 724 are respectively fixed to the outer surfaces of the upper and lower outermost flat discharge ports 722, and the up and down swing of each discharge port is controlled by turning the electromagnet 724 on and off.
[0124] When the electromagnet 724 is powered on, it generates attraction, causing all the flat outlets 722 to be squeezed inward, reducing the distance between adjacent flat outlets 722. When the electromagnet 724 is powered off, the spring 723 returns to its original state, restoring the distance between adjacent flat outlets 722 to its initial state. This process enables the flat outlets 722 to quickly adjust the coverage and direction of spraying in a short time, so that the spraying can be directly sprayed into a longitudinal spraying belt in the same direction.
[0125] The electromagnet 724 and the spring 723 are used to control the up and down swing of each flat discharge port 722, adjust the spraying coverage area, ensure the uniformity and accuracy of spraying, and minimize waste. Without changing the direction, the flat discharge port 722 controlled by the electromagnet 724 and the spring 723 can form a continuous longitudinal spraying belt in a short time, reduce the spraying time, and improve work efficiency.
[0126] A method for operating a crawler-type spraying machine comprises the following steps:
[0127] Arriving at the destination, including controlling the sprayer to move to the target area by remote control;
[0128] The preparation work includes checking that all components are intact, filling the mixing tank 4 with an appropriate amount of soil, water and grass seeds, setting the mixing time and the spraying intensity;
[0129] The rotary tillage operation includes starting the rotary tillage device 8 to loosen the soil and till the target area;
[0130] The spraying operation includes adjusting the angle and direction of the spray pipe 71, starting the spray assembly 7, and spraying the mixture to the target area;
[0131] After the operation is completed, the spray assembly 7 and the stirring mechanism are closed, and the mixing tank 4 and the spray pipe 71 are cleaned.
[0132] The spraying operation can be manually controlled or automatically performed.
[0133] The steps of automatic spraying are:
[0134] Step 1: Initialization
[0135] The current content of the mixture in the mixing tank 4 is read, the initial injection pressure P0 and the initial injection angle θ0 are set, and the terrain data T of the target area and the area A to be covered are obtained.
[0136] Step 2: Data preprocessing
[0137] Use sensors and cameras to scan the target area and obtain terrain data T, which includes slope s, obstacle locations and surface conditions; based on the terrain data T, generate a three-dimensional model of the target area;
[0138] Step 3: Path Planning
[0139] Use the path planning algorithm to generate the optimal travel path S of the crawler seeding machine to ensure that the crawler seeding machine can cover the entire target area and avoid obstacles; calculate the optimal travel path S for each path node n i Topographic features of T i , determine the appropriate injection pressure P i and nozzle angle θ i .
[0140] Step 4: Injection parameter optimization
[0141] Initialize the spray pressure P and nozzle angle θ. Based on the three-dimensional model of the terrain, use simulation technology to simulate the spraying effect under different spray parameters and evaluate the coverage and uniformity of the mixture. Use the optimization algorithm to adjust the spray pressure P and nozzle angle θ to optimize the objective function to calculate the best parameters to minimize waste and maximize the effect. The optimization objective function is:
[0142]
[0143] Among them, W is the total waste, C i is the difference between the coverage range of the i-th spraying point and the target range, L i is the mixture waste at the i-th spraying point;
[0144] The injection pressure P of the i-th spraying point i Calculation formula:
[0145] P i =P min +(P max -P min )·f(T i )
[0146] Among them, f(T i ) is based on the terrain characteristics T i The first weight function calculated is used to adjust the pressure; P min and P max are the minimum and maximum values of the injection pressure;
[0147] f(T i )=1+k·s;
[0148] Where: s is the measured value of slope, which indicates the degree of inclination of the terrain; k is a constant used to adjust the degree of influence of slope on pressure adjustment;
[0149] The spray angle θ of the i-th spray point i Calculation formula:
[0150] θ i =θ min +(θ max -θ min )·g(T i )
[0151] Among them, g(T i ) is based on the terrain characteristics T i The second weight function calculated is used to adjust the injection angle; θ min and θ max are the minimum and maximum values of the nozzle angle;
[0152] g(T i ) = 1 - k′·s;
[0153] Where: s is the measured value of the slope; k′ is an adjustment factor used to control the sensitivity of the slope to the nozzle angle adjustment.
[0154] Step 5: Spraying operation
[0155] According to the planned path S, the spraying pressure P and the nozzle angle θ, the spraying angle and the spraying pressure of the nozzle 71 in the spraying assembly 7 are controlled to start the spraying operation; the flow rate and pressure of the mixture during the spraying process are monitored in real time to ensure the uniformity of the spraying; the electromagnet 724 and the spring 723 are used to control the up and down swing speed and amplitude of each flat discharge head 722 to adjust the spraying coverage area A0 per unit time;
[0156] Spraying coverage width d calculation formula:
[0157] d=d max ·h(P i ,θ i )
[0158] Among them, h(P i ,θ i ) is based on the injection pressure P i and nozzle angle θ i Calculated coverage width adjustment function;
[0159]
[0160] Where: c is a constant used to adjust the basic units and ratios of the formula to suit specific equipment and operating conditions; Indicates the effect of spray pressure on coverage width. Spray coverage distance is proportional to the square root of pressure. sin(θ i ) represents the effect of nozzle angle on coverage width, with larger angles providing wider coverage in the vertical direction;
[0161] Electromagnet 724 control frequency adjustment formula:
[0162] f e =f min +(f max -f min )·k(P i ,θ i ,v)
[0163] Among them, f e is the control frequency of the electromagnet 724, k(P i ,θ i , v) is a third weight function calculated based on the injection pressure, injection angle and travel speed v; f min and f max The minimum and maximum values of the control frequency of the electromagnet 724;
[0164]
[0165] Among them: a, b, c are coefficients determined according to experimental data, which adjust the relative influence of pressure, angle and speed on the control frequency; Pi is the spray pressure, which directly affects the intensity and distance of the spray, and affects the frequency in a linear manner; cos(θ i ) is a cosine function. The cosine function is used because when the nozzle angle tends to be horizontal, more frequent adjustments are required to maintain coverage, while when the angle is smaller, the effect is smaller; It is the reciprocal of the moving speed, which means that when the sprayer moves faster, the electromagnet needs to be adjusted more frequently to maintain the continuity and uniformity of spraying.
[0166] Step 6: Dynamic Adjustment
[0167] During the spraying process, real-time data is continuously collected; the spray pressure P is dynamically adjusted based on the real-time data i and nozzle angle θ i , and the frequency of the electromagnet 724 to ensure the best spraying effect; use a feedback control system to adjust the spraying path and speed v to avoid repeated spraying and waste;
[0168] Step 7: Finish spraying
[0169] Complete the spraying operation of the target area according to the planned path S, spray pressure P and nozzle angle θ;
[0170] Close the injection assembly 7 and the stirring mechanism 5;
[0171] Clean the mixing tank 4 and the spray pipe 71 to ensure that the equipment is clean and ready for the next operation.
[0172] Compared with the traditional cylindrical nozzle, the flat discharge port 722 has the following advantages:
[0173] Cylindrical nozzle: The mixture sprayed by the cylindrical nozzle usually forms a circular or fan-shaped coverage area. Since the spraying shape is more concentrated, the mixture in the coverage area is unevenly distributed, with less spraying at the edge and more spraying in the middle, resulting in uneven regreening effect.
[0174] The flat discharge port 722 can form a wide, continuous spraying belt through the control of the electromagnet 724 and the spring 723 to achieve a wider coverage. The flat discharge port 722 can quickly adjust the swing speed and amplitude to ensure that the spraying amount of each discharge port is consistent, the mixture in the spraying belt is evenly distributed, and the regreening effect is better.
[0175] Cylindrical nozzle: Due to the smaller coverage area, more time and paths are required to cover the target area. The spraying speed is slower, resulting in longer operation time.
[0176] Flat discharge port 722: Through the coordinated work of multiple flat discharge ports 722, a wide spraying belt is formed, which covers a larger area at one time, reduces repeated coverage, and improves spraying efficiency. The rapid response capability of the electromagnet 724 and the spring 723 enables the discharge port to quickly adjust the spraying direction and width, significantly improving the spraying speed and shortening the operation time.
[0177] Cylindrical nozzle: The spraying shape is fixed, the adaptability is poor, and it is difficult to cope with complex terrain and different operation requirements. The spraying angle and coverage cannot be flexibly adjusted, and the operational flexibility is poor.
[0178] Flat discharge port 722: can quickly adjust the spraying angle and coverage to adapt to various complex terrains and different operation requirements. It can dynamically adjust the spraying parameters according to real-time data to achieve flexible and accurate spraying operations with greater adaptability.
[0179] Cylindrical nozzle: Due to uneven spraying, there is a large waste of resources, and more mixture is required to achieve the desired effect. Overlap and waste during the spraying process lead to inefficient use of resources and are not conducive to environmental protection.
[0180] Flat discharge port 722: Spray evenly and cover a wide range, reduce repeated spraying and waste, and improve resource utilization. Precisely control the spraying volume and coverage, reduce the waste of the mixture, and achieve a more environmentally friendly operation.
