[0028] Firstly, the application scenario of the present application is described. The technical solution of the present application is suitable for the control of a cleaning system of an agricultural harvester.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0030] Embodiment one

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, a cleaning system suitable for a rice harvester is provided, which at least includes a controller, a cleaning chamber, a touch screen, a screening box, left and right lifting mechanisms, a fan, a guide vane, a shaking plate, a screening box drive, an angle sensor and a vibration sensor.

[0032] The cleaning chamber at least includes a cleaning chamber upper shell and a cleaning chamber lower shell. The screening box at least includes a screening box main body, an upper cleaning screen plate, a lower cleaning screen plate and a tail screen plate. The left and right lifting mechanisms are respectively arranged on the left and right inner walls of the cleaning chamber. The screening box is installed between the left and right lifting mechanisms. The lifting mechanism at least includes a lifting screw rod, a lifting motor controller and a lifting motor. By lifting the lifting screw rod on each side, the angle between the plane where the cleaning screen plate of the screening box is located and the horizontal plane can be changed.

[0033] Specifically, the grain, chaff, stems, and other dislodged objects separated from the cylinder fall onto the sieve box in turn. The crops jump on the forward and backward shaking cleaning sieve plate, and the material is layered, the grain sinks, and the chaff and broken stems float. After separation, they are blown out under the action of the fan airflow.

[0034] The angle sensor is installed on the sieve box to detect the working angle of the sieve box.

[0035] The controller is used to control the lifting mechanism to adjust the working angle of the sieve box.

[0036] Further, the adjustment of the sieve box can be performed in automatic and manual modes. The controller can determine the sieve box horizontal adjustment mode in the following way:

[0037] Determine whether the target vehicle is in a starting state. If it is in a starting state, determine whether the clutch of the target vehicle is in a combined state. If the clutch is in a combined state, determine whether an automatic mode instruction is received. If not, determine that the sieve box horizontal adjustment mode is a manual mode. If yes, determine that the sieve box horizontal adjustment mode is an automatic mode.

[0038] Specifically, the controller can determine whether the target vehicle (such as a harvester or a harvester) is in a starting state by the engine speed or battery voltage. When the engine speed is greater than 400 rpm or the battery voltage is greater than 27 V, it is determined that the target vehicle is in a starting state.

[0039] The controller can determine the clutch state by the cylinder speed. When the cylinder speed is greater than 100 rpm, it can be determined that the clutch is in a combined state.

[0040] When the target vehicle is in a starting state, the clutch is in a combined state, and no automatic mode instruction is received, the sieve box is adjusted in a manual adjustment mode. Here, the touch screen can display a manual adjustment control, including a left adjustment control and a right adjustment control.

[0041] Figure 1 A flowchart of a sieve box adjustment method provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, when the sieve box horizontal adjustment mode is a manual mode, the controller can adjust the sieve box in the following way:

[0042] S10, according to the vehicle state of the target vehicle, determine that the sieve box horizontal adjustment mode is a manual mode.

[0043] S11, in response to the received sieve box angle adjustment instruction, generate a first control signal and send it to the lifting motor controller of the lifting mechanism to control the working angle of the sieve box.

[0044] In step S11, specifically, in response to a first touch operation of a user on the left control through the touch screen, a first lifting control signal is generated according to the first touch operation, and the first lifting control signal is sent to a lifting motor controller of the left lifting mechanism. Or in response to a second touch operation of a user on the right control through the touch screen, a second lifting control signal is generated according to the second touch operation, and the second lifting control signal is sent to a lifting motor controller of the right lifting mechanism.

[0045] The left control is used to adjust the left side of the screen box to rise or fall, and the right control is used to adjust the right side of the screen box to rise or fall, and the driver can manually adjust as needed. The left control here can include a left lifting control and a left lowering control. The right control here can include a right lifting control and a right lowering control.

[0046] The horizontal angle of the screen box before adjustment is set to 0°, the angle left low right high is positive, and the angle left high right low is negative.

[0047] Clicking the left lifting control can realize the action of the left side of the screen box rising, adjusting the left high right low of the screen cylinder, and the maximum adjustment working angle is-5°. The working angle can be displayed in real time on the touch screen. Clicking the left lowering control can realize the action of the left side of the screen box falling, adjusting the left low right high of the screen cylinder, and the maximum adjustment working angle is 5°. Clicking the right lifting control can realize the action of the right side of the screen box rising, adjusting the left low right high of the screen cylinder, and the maximum adjustment angle is 5°. Clicking the right lowering control can realize the action of the right side of the screen box falling, adjusting the left high right low of the screen cylinder. The maximum adjustment angle is-5°, and the angle can be displayed in real time on the touch screen.

[0048] Simultaneously clicking the left control and the right control can realize larger angle adjustment, and the screen box can be adjusted to approximately ±10°.

[0049] In another embodiment of the present application, the control interface displayed by the touch screen can further include an automatic adjustment control, specifically including an automatic mode on control and an automatic mode off control. The automatic mode instruction can be generated in the following manner:

[0050] In response to a third touch operation of a user on the automatic adjustment control through the touch screen, an automatic mode instruction is generated.

[0051] Specifically, clicking the automatic mode on control, the controller generates an automatic mode instruction. Figure 2 Another flowchart of a screen box adjustment method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 8. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is determined that the screen box horizontal adjustment mode is in the automatic mode, and the controller can adjust the screen box in the following manner:

[0052] S20, determining that the screen box level adjustment mode is an automatic mode according to the vehicle state of the target vehicle.

[0053] S21, determining the corresponding preset adjustment angle according to the angle data collected by the angle sensor arranged on the screen box, and generating a second control signal to send to the lifting motor of the lifting mechanism to control the working angle of the screen box.

[0054] It should be noted that when the automatic mode is started, the screen box needs to be self-checked first and restored to the 0° state. When the self-checking determines that the adjustment function is normal, the controller starts to collect data periodically to realize automatic closed-loop control.

[0055] Figure 3 A flowchart of the steps of data collection and processing provided by the embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 3 The step of collecting angle data by the angle sensor arranged on the screen box in step S21 specifically includes:

[0056] S210, obtaining angle time series data collected by the angle sensor within a preset time length.

[0057] A preset number of angle data is sampled and extracted in the angle time series data according to a preset time interval.

[0058] Specifically, the corresponding preset adjustment angle can be determined in the following way:

[0059] S211, for each angle data, determining the target angle interval corresponding to the angle data.

[0060] S212, based on all the determined target angle intervals, matching the preset adjustment angle according to a preset mapping relationship.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, during harvesting operation, the controller collects data at a period of 100ms, and considering the vehicle speed and working condition environment, 20 data and 2s time average filtering processing are adopted. We divide -15° to 15° into 5 interval parts, which are interval 1 (-15°, -10°), interval 2 (-10°, -5°), interval 3 (-5°, +5°), interval 4 (+5°, 10°), and interval 5 (10°, 15°).

[0062] According to the target angle interval into which the 20 angle data falls, the corresponding preset adjustment angle is determined. The mapping relationship between the preset adjustment angle and the target angle interval here can be pre-calibrated.

[0063] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 4 The closed-loop control logic can be:

[0064] a. From section 3 to section 2, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be -6°, the left lifting mechanism is lowered by 5°, and the right lifting mechanism is at 0°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is +5°.

[0065] b. From section 2 to section 1, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be -11°, the left lifting mechanism is lowered by 5°, and the right lifting mechanism is raised by 5°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is +10°.

[0066] c. When the actual horizontal angle is greater than -15°, the screen prompts that the vehicle inclination angle is too large, and the lifting mechanism adjusts the angle to the maximum and no longer adjusts to maintain the current angle.

[0067] d. From section 1 to section 2, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be -9°, the left lifting mechanism is lowered by 5°, and the right lifting mechanism is at 0°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is +5°.

[0068] e. From section 2 to section 3, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be -4°, the left lifting mechanism is at 0°, and the right lifting mechanism is at 0°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is 0°.

[0069] f. From section 3 to section 4, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be 6°, the left lifting mechanism is raised by 5°, and the right lifting mechanism is at 0°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is -5°.

[0070] g. From section 4 to section 5, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be 11°, the left lifting mechanism is raised by 5°, and the right lifting mechanism is lowered by 5°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is -10°.

[0071] h. When the actual horizontal angle is greater than 15°, the screen prompts that the vehicle inclination angle is too large, and the lifting mechanism adjusts the angle to the maximum and no longer adjusts to maintain the current angle.

[0072] i. From section 5 to section 4, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be 9°, the left lifting mechanism is raised by 5°, and the right lifting mechanism is at 0°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is -5°.

[0073] j. From section 4 to section 3, when the real-time angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal is detected to be 4°, the left lifting mechanism is at 0°, and the right lifting mechanism is at 0°. At this time, the angle between the screen surface and the vehicle body is 5°.

[0074] The control method of the cleaning system provided by the embodiments of the present application realizes the horizontal working angle adjustment and closed-loop control of the sieve box, provides two control modes, i.e., manual and automatic, reduces the loss of crops during cleaning, and displays the state of the sieve box on the touch screen, so that the user can know the working condition in time.

[0075] Embodiment two

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure the cleaning effect, the adjustment angle of the sieve box needs to be limited, and the user can configure a preset working angle range, or the target vehicle can be preconfigured before leaving the factory.

[0077] In the manual mode or the automatic mode, it is necessary to determine whether the working angle of the sieve box is in the preset working angle range. If not, the adjustment of the working angle of the sieve box is stopped, and a warning information is generated and displayed through the touch screen.

[0078] In this way, the loss of the cleaned crops during the harvesting operation can be avoided.

[0079] Embodiment three

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, the cleaning system further comprises a vibration sensor, which is installed on the tail sieve plate of the sieve box and is used to detect the loss state of the cleaning.

[0081] The vibration sensor herein can include a left vibration sensor and a right vibration sensor, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the tail sieve plate, respectively. The vibration sensor can generate pressure data through the knocking and vibration of the crops on the tail sieve plate and send the pressure data to the controller, and the controller can further determine how many crops are lost in the cleaned impurities, and further determine the loss degree of the crops on the left and right sides of the cleaning system of the target vehicle. The loss degree can also be compared with a preset loss degree threshold, for example, 10%. When the loss degree exceeds 10%, an alarm is generated. The loss degree can also be displayed through the touch screen, so that the user can know the working condition of the cleaning system in time.

[0082] Further, the controller can also generate a third lifting control signal through the difference between the loss degrees on the left and right sides, and send the third lifting control signal to the corresponding lifting motor controller to control the angle of the sieve box. The difference between the loss degrees on the left and right sides can also be compared with a preset difference, for example, when the difference exceeds 2%, an information such as "the cleaning loss detection difference between the left and right sides is large, please check the vehicle and the cleaning state" is prompted on the touch screen.

[0083] The cleaning system provided in the application detects the state of the screen box inclination during harvesting operation through the screen box inclination sensor, and the controller obtains whether the screen cylinder needs to be adjusted by analyzing the sensor signal, thereby adjusting the screen box. The closed-loop adjustment of the screen box adjustment is completed by comparing the screen box angle sensor value after adjustment with the expected angle value. At the same time, the tail cleaning loss partition detection, the current cleaning state, ensures the cleaning effect and state feedback.
