Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone seeding technology, specifically to a distributed intelligent adjustable precision variable hole-seeding drone and its seeding method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the row spacing and plant spacing of rice have had a significant impact on rice growth during increased yield cultivation. However, adjusting these spacing using existing rice transplanters or manual transplanting methods is challenging. Therefore, to improve efficiency and effectiveness, agricultural drones are generally used. Chinese invention patent CN113228886B discloses a drone-based hill-seeding system and method. This system can communicate with a control terminal to achieve both ordinary and precision hill-seeding, solving the terrain limitations of traditional power chassis-mounted direct seeding machines. Furthermore, this invention addresses the issues of low planting accuracy per hill, easy seed omissions and blockages, and wide seed scattering per hill in current precision hill-seeding processes using drones, effectively improving the planting quality and speed of precision hill-seeding using drones.
[0003] In related technologies, while existing seed-sowing drones can perform precise seed sowing, they cannot adjust the drone's flight angle, such as the roll angle, yaw angle, and pitch angle of the seeding mechanism. As a result, they cannot adapt to different farmland shapes and slopes during seeding operations, which reduces the accuracy of subsequent seeding, affects the growth of crops, and reduces their yield. Furthermore, they lack the ability to sow in square, checkerboard, hexagonal, and wide-narrow row patterns. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a distributed intelligent adjustable precision variable-rate seeding drone and its seeding method. By incorporating an angle sensor group within the self-leveling assembly, the roll angle, yaw angle, and pitch angle of the seeding mechanism can be detected. Furthermore, reverse compensation is achieved through a servo motor group within the self-leveling assembly, ensuring the drone body drives the seeding mechanism to maintain a perpendicular position to the ground, thus achieving orderly and precise seeding. Adjusting the plant spacing and row spacing increases the aeration during plant production, improves seed division, and ultimately increases yield.

[0024] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0025] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a distributed intelligent adjustable precision variable-rate seeding drone and its seeding method, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. This invention, through the setting of the angle sensor group in the self-leveling component, can detect the roll angle, yaw angle, and pitch angle of the sowing mechanism, and through the reverse compensation of the servo group in the self-leveling component, so that the UAV body drives the sowing mechanism to always maintain a perpendicular state to the ground, further improving its sowing effect. Through the setting of the sowing component, the stored seeds can be sown in an orderly and precise manner according to the flight status of the UAV body, such as flight angle, flight altitude, and flight trajectory. Moreover, by adjusting the plant spacing and row spacing, the air permeability during plant production can be increased, the seed division can be improved, and thus the yield can be increased.

[0027] 2. In this invention, each seed metering disc of the sowing component is controlled by a separately controlled and adjustable motor. By controlling the rotation speed of the drive motor, different seed landing points such as quadrilaterals and hexagons can be arranged. This results in different ventilation and sunlight for the seedlings, thereby increasing yield. Moreover, the rotation drive of the seed metering disc does not affect the normal disassembly and replacement of the seed metering disc, further improving the efficiency of the rotation drive mechanism.

The seed filling grid of the seed metering tray of this invention has an adjustable size function; the model of the seed metering tray can be changed by disassembling and assembling the protective cover and the hopper-shaped seed metering pipe; or, by setting a circular adjustment plate concentric with the seed metering tray on the top of the seed metering tray, the circular adjustment plate has an outlet of the same size as the seed filling grid, and the circular adjustment plate can rotate relative to the seed metering tray, so that the size of the seed filling grid can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the circular adjustment plate relative to the seed metering tray. When the outlet of the circular adjustment plate coincides with the seed filling grid, the maximum capacity of the seed filling grid can be achieved, which has the function of adjusting the seed filling amount in multiple ways, meeting the sowing work under different conditions.

A connecting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the drone body 1, and several seeding mechanisms are installed on the connecting frame 2. Each of the seeding mechanisms is equipped with an altimeter for ground detection. When the ground is uneven, the wind speed of the auxiliary wind of each seeding mechanism can be precisely controlled, and the spacing can be adjusted to adjust the seeding depth.
[0050] The intelligent control system includes a control processor and a signal I / O bus; the control processor uses an STM32 controller; the signal I / O bus includes flight speed I / O interface, wireless transmission I / O interface, obstacle avoidance signal I / O interface, and drone control I / O interface; the signal I / O bus communicates with the control processor using the UORB protocol; the signal I / O bus and the STM32 controller are soldered on the same circuit board, and the flight speed I / O interface, wireless transmission I / O interface, obstacle avoidance signal I / O interface, and drone control I / O interface are all connected to the I / O interface bus using coaxial signal lines;
[0051] The sowing mechanism includes an adaptive angle-adjustable variable diameter clamping plate 3 fixed to the bottom of the connecting frame 2. A gantry frame 4 is provided at the bottom of the adaptive angle-adjustable variable diameter clamping plate 3. A mounting frame 5 is provided at the bottom of the gantry frame 4. A sowing component 6 is provided on the mounting frame 5.
[0052] By setting the seeding component 6, the stored seeds can be sown in an orderly and precise manner according to the flight status of the drone body 1, such as angle, flight altitude and flight trajectory. Moreover, by adjusting the plant spacing and row spacing, the air permeability during the plant production process is increased, the seed division is improved, and the output value is increased, which meets the requirements of sowing work in checkerboard, hexagonal and other methods.
[0053] A self-leveling assembly 7 is installed between the mounting bracket 5, the adaptive angle-adjustable variable diameter clamping plate 3, and the gantry frame 4. The self-leveling assembly 7 includes an angle sensor group for detecting the overall angle of the sowing mechanism and a servo motor group for adjusting the angle of the sowing mechanism.
[0054] By setting the angle sensor group in the self-leveling component 7, the roll angle, yaw angle and pitch angle of the sowing mechanism can be detected, and the servo group in the self-leveling component 7 can perform reverse compensation, so that the UAV body 1 drives the sowing mechanism to always keep it perpendicular to the ground, thereby further improving its sowing effect. This solves the problem that existing UAV sowing equipment cannot make adaptive adjustments according to different terrains, such as the shape and slope of the planting field.
[0055] See attached document Figure 4 The angle sensor includes a first angle sensor 71 for sensing and detecting the roll angle of the seeding mechanism, a second angle sensor 72 for sensing and detecting the yaw angle of the seeding mechanism, and a third angle sensor 73 for sensing and detecting the pitch angle of the seeding mechanism. The servo assembly includes a first servo 74 for adjusting the roll angle of the seeding mechanism, a second servo 75 for adjusting the yaw angle of the seeding mechanism, and a third servo 76 for adjusting the pitch angle of the seeding mechanism.
[0056] The roll angle of the sowing mechanism is sensed by the first angle sensor 71 in the self-leveling component 7, and the angle of the entire sowing mechanism is adjusted by the first servo motor 74 according to the roll angle.
[0057] The yaw angle of the seeding mechanism is sensed by the second angle sensor 72 in the self-leveling component 7, and the angle of the entire seeding mechanism is adjusted by the second servo motor 75 according to the yaw angle.
[0058] The pitch angle of the seeding mechanism is sensed by the third angle sensor 73 in the self-leveling component 7, and the angle of the entire seeding mechanism is adjusted by the third servo motor 76 according to the pitch angle; ultimately, the angle of the entire seeding mechanism is kept at the desired preset angle and is not affected by the attitude of the UAV.
[0059] The first angle sensor 71 and the second angle sensor 72 are both mounted on the adaptive angle adjustment variable diameter clamp 3, and the third angle sensor 73 is mounted on the mounting bracket 5.
[0060] The first servo motor 74 and the second servo motor 75 are both mounted on the adaptive angle-adjustable variable diameter clamp 3, and the third servo motor 76 is mounted on one side of the bottom of the gantry frame 4 via a bracket.
[0061] See attached document Figures 5-9 The seeding assembly 6 includes a conical feed box 61 at the bottom of the mounting frame 5 and a protective cover 62 fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical feed box 61. A seed discharge guide 64 is detachably installed at the bottom of the protective cover 62.
[0062] The conical feed box 61 is used to store the seeds required for hill sowing. The protective cover 62 is used to cover and install the seed metering and exporting component 64, so that the seeds inside the conical feed box 61 can enter the seed metering and exporting component 64 through the protective cover 62. The seed metering and exporting component 64 exports the seeds in a quantitative manner, forming a precise hill sowing operation with precise and controllable sowing amount that varies with speed.
[0063] See attached document Figure 5 A wind conveyor 63 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the protective cover 62, and a brushless fan is installed on the top of the wind conveyor 63.
[0064] By installing an air delivery cylinder 63 on the protective cover 62, and a brushless fan can be installed on the top of the air delivery cylinder 63, the air delivery cylinder 63 is used to assist in the air delivery of seeds for sowing. The fan speed can be intelligently adjusted according to the height, which improves the smoothness and guidance of seed sowing and avoids the problem of seeds getting stuck.
[0065] See attached document Figures 6 to 9 The seed metering guide 64 includes a hopper-shaped seed metering pipe 641 that is bolted to the bottom of the protective cover 62. A semi-circular rotating plate 642 is fixedly connected to the top of the hopper-shaped seed metering pipe 641. A movable cover 643 is provided on the top of the semi-circular rotating plate 642 and is located inside the protective cover 62. A seed metering disc 644 is provided inside the movable cover 643. An annular groove is provided on the top of the seed metering disc 644 and several seed filling grids 645 arranged in a circular array are provided inside the annular groove. A drive component 65 for rotating the seed metering disc 644 is provided on the top of the protective cover 62.
[0066] By using the protective cover 62 and the hopper-shaped seed metering pipe 641, the movable cover 643 and the seed metering tray 644 can be enclosed and installed. The seed metering tray 644 can rotate inside the protective cover 62. The seed metering tray 644 has several seed-filling grids 645 arranged in a circular array inside, which makes it easy for the seeds inside the conical feed box 61 to fill the seed-filling grids 645. With the drive component 65 driving the rotation of the seed metering tray 644, the seed-filling grids 645 can be moved to different positions. When the seed-filling grid 645 containing seeds moves to the top of the hopper-shaped seed metering pipe 641, the seeds inside can be discharged through the hopper-shaped seed metering pipe 641, thereby realizing the function of hill sowing.
[0067] A seeding method for a distributed intelligent adjustable precision variable-rate seeding drone includes the following steps:
[0068] S1. Based on the preset seed quantity per acre input from the monitoring station, the intelligent control system calculates the required rotation speed of the sowing component 6 according to the preset seed quantity per acre, the current flight speed, and the sowing width, and sends the rotation speed information to the speed controller. The calculation relationship is as follows: ;
[0069] Where Q is the preset seed quantity per acre, input from the monitoring station and transmitted to the intelligent control system via the wireless transmission IO interface; S is the sowing width, determined by the seed output component 64 in the sowing component 6. The sowing width for different sowing angles needs to be calibrated, and the calibrated sowing width is input to the intelligent control system via the monitoring station; V is the drone flight speed, input from the drone to the intelligent control system via the flight speed IO interface; F rpm To establish the relationship between the rotational speed and seeding rate of the seed output component 64, calibration and input from the monitoring station are required; rpm P The rotation speed of seed output component 64 under the preset seeding rate per acre is calculated and output by the intelligent control system.
[0070] S2. The speed controller receives the speed information output by the intelligent control system and controls the seed output component 64 in the seeding assembly 6 to work.
[0071] S3. The intelligent control system compares the input actual seeding amount with the preset seeding amount per mu, and combines the relative error between the two to calculate the required rotation speed of the seeding output component 64 in the seeding component 6 and outputs the rotation speed information to the speed controller.
[0072] S4, repeat S2, to achieve closed-loop control of the seeding rate.
[0073] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that;
[0074] See attached document Figure 7 and Figure 8 The driving component 65 includes a drive shaft 651 rotatably connected to the top of the protective cover 62. A rectangular transmission block 652 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive shaft 651. A rectangular hole 653 for inserting the rectangular transmission block 652 is provided at the center of the seed metering disc 644. A motor for rotating the drive shaft 651 through two bevel gears is installed on the top of the protective cover 62.
[0075] Each seeding assembly 6 has its drive shaft 651 controlled by an individually controlled and adjustable motor. This allows for the control of the drive motor's speed to achieve different seed drop point arrangements, such as quadrilaterals and hexagons. These different seed drop point arrangements result in varying ventilation and sunlight exposure for the seedlings, thus increasing yield. Furthermore, the rotation of the seed metering disc 644 via the drive component 65 does not affect the normal disassembly and replacement of the seed metering disc 644, further improving the effectiveness of the rotary drive mechanism.
[0076] Example 3: The difference from Example 1 is that;
[0077] See attached document Figure 9The seed metering disc 644 is provided with a circular adjustment plate 646 on its top, and the outer surface of the circular adjustment plate 646 is provided with a number of outlet ports 647 arranged in a circular array. A control plate 648 is fixedly connected to one side of the outlet ports 647. The control plates 648 are inserted into the corresponding seed filling grids 645. The seed metering disc 644 and the circular adjustment plate 646 are in close contact with each other, and the seed metering disc 644 and the circular adjustment plate 646 are installed in a relative rotation manner, and the relative rotation angle is controllable.
[0078] The seed filling grid 645 of the seed metering tray 644 has an adjustable size function;
[0079] The model of the seed metering disc 644 can be replaced by disassembling and assembling the protective cover 62 and the hopper-shaped seed metering pipe 641;
[0080] By setting a circular adjustment plate 646 concentric with the seed metering plate 644 on the top of the seed metering plate 644, the circular adjustment plate 646 has an outlet 647 of the same size as the seed filling grid 645, and the circular adjustment plate 646 can rotate relative to the seed metering plate 644, so that the size of the seed filling grid 645 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the circular adjustment plate 646 relative to the seed metering plate 644;
[0081] When the outlet 647 of the circular adjustment plate 646 coincides with the seed filling grid 645, the maximum capacity of the seed filling grid 645 can be achieved, which has the function of adjusting the seed filling amount in multiple ways, and meets the needs of seed filling amount sowing under different conditions.

The intelligent control system compares the input actual seeding amount with the preset seeding amount per mu, and combines the relative error between the two to calculate the required rotation speed of the seeding output component (64) in the seeding component (6) and outputs the rotation speed information to the speed controller. S4, repeat S2, to achieve closed-loop control of the seeding rate.
