Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a flexible profiling device for a harvester header and a control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a key component of the combine harvester, the header plays an important role in harvesting. Generally, when the header is working, the driver needs to adjust the header height in real time according to the undulating terrain, which is labor-intensive and has low operating efficiency. When the header height is adjusted too high, the harvest is not thorough, and the stalk stubble height is high, which is not conducive to the cultivation and sowing of the next crop, resulting in feed waste during silage harvesting; when the header height is adjusted too low, it is easy to cause the front end of the header to sink into the soil, affecting the service life of the header.
[0003] The current lateral profiling device of the cutting table of the combine harvester can realize the lateral profiling of the cutting table following the undulations of the farmland soil surface. However, the profiling wheel cannot touch the ground quickly when working, and there is a certain delay, which lags behind the terrain under the cutting table, resulting in inaccurate height control of the cutting table.
[0004] In the current automatic profiling system of the cutting table of the combine harvester, the coupling mechanism can drive the cutting table to swing and adjust the lateral inclination angle of the cutting table. Although the lateral profiling of the cutting table can be achieved, the coupling mechanism completes the lateral profiling of the cutting table through the coupling shaft, and there are problems such as small contact area between the coupling shaft and the coupling plate and weak load-bearing capacity, which leads to unstable control of the lateral profiling of the cutting table.
[0005] The current control method for the cutting table profiling of a combine harvester can use a control module to complete the profiling of the cutting table along the undulations of the ground. However, due to the differences in profiling devices, there are great differences in the profiling effects, the profiling process is complex, and the process of processing sensor measurement data is complex. Summary of the invention

The calculation formula is: Formula 2 Wherein, D is the installation distance between the two sides of the contour wheel, and β is the angle value of the cutting table (1) rotation; The angle value β of the cutter (1) is converted into the extension value ∆Z of the first acting hydraulic cylinder (25) and the second acting hydraulic cylinder (26) by the calculation formula: Formula 3 The control module controls the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing proportional valve 2 (77) to be energized, and the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing proportional valve 2 (77) converts the input current into the displacement output of the first acting hydraulic cylinder (25) and the second acting hydraulic cylinder (26), thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the first acting hydraulic cylinder (25) and the second acting hydraulic cylinder (26), and the extension and retraction value is ∆Z, thereby completing the lateral adjustment of the cutting platform and realizing the lateral flexible profiling of the cutting platform; Step S4: the angle sensor (62) installed on the header (1) measures the angle between the contour plate (61) and the ground to be γ; Step S5 calculates the height h of the cutting platform from the ground according to the angle γ between the contour plate (61) and the ground, and the calculation formula is: Equation 4 Wherein, d is the horizontal installation distance of the vertical plane behind the cutting platform from the angle sensor (62), and the extension amount M of the third acting hydraulic cylinder (55) of the longitudinal driving mechanism of the cutting platform is calculated according to ∆h. 1, M2, calculated as: Formula 5 Formula 6 Formula 7 Among them, M2 is the extension and retraction amount of the hydraulic cylinder on the ground without slope of the front and rear wheels of the combine harvester, M1 is the extension and retraction amount required by the hydraulic cylinder on the ground with slope of the front and rear wheels of the combine harvester, ∆M is the extension and retraction change amount required by the hydraulic cylinder on the ground with slope of the front and rear wheels of the combine harvester, h1 is the height of the header after adjustment, and ∆h is the height change of the header adjustment; The control module controls the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing proportional valve 1 (76) to be energized, and the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing proportional valve 1 (76) converts the input current into the displacement output of the third acting hydraulic cylinder (55), thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the third acting hydraulic cylinder (55), the extension and retraction value of which is ∆M, to complete the longitudinal adjustment of the cutting platform and realize the longitudinal flexible profiling of the cutting platform.
