Based on the embodiments of the present application, each other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work falls within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0023] First, the application scenarios to which this application is applicable are introduced. This application can be applied to agricultural production.
[0024] With the accelerating pace of agricultural modernization, the demand for intelligent and modernized processes across the four key processes of farming, management, and harvesting is growing. To optimize agricultural production, the development and application of yield monitoring systems has become particularly important. These systems can collect and analyze key data such as operating area, per-acre grain yield, and location information, providing a scientific basis for variable-rate seeding, fertilization, spraying, and field management.
[0025] Current yield measurement systems primarily utilize photoelectric, gravimetric, and radiation-based technologies. However, each has its limitations: photoelectric systems are susceptible to the effects of grain moisture, bulk density, and impurities, resulting in reduced accuracy during continuous operation; gravimetric systems, while highly accurate, are inefficient when applied on a large scale; and radiation-based systems, due to potential health risks, have limited widespread commercialization.
[0026] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a crop yield monitoring method and a crop yield monitoring system, aiming to improve the accuracy of crop yield detection.
[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a crop yield monitoring method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown in , the crop yield monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:
[0028] S101. Identify whether the harvester meets the crop yield monitoring conditions based on the rotation speed of the harvester's grain elevator and the crop flow rate in the grain elevator.
[0029] Here, the grain elevator is used to lift crops into the grain transport auger barrel of the harvester. The grain elevator is a component on the harvester, which is used to lift the harvested crops (such as rice, wheat and other grains) from the ground or low places to the grain transport auger barrel of the harvester for subsequent transportation, threshing and storage. The crop flow rate refers to the amount of crops passing through the grain elevator per unit time. The crop yield monitoring condition refers to judging whether the harvester is in a state or condition suitable for crop yield monitoring.
[0030] In a preferred example of the present application, whether the harvester meets the crop yield monitoring conditions is identified in the following manner:
[0031] When the rotation speed of the grain elevator is not less than the maximum rotation speed and the crop flow in the grain elevator is greater than the preset flow, it is determined that the harvester meets the crop yield monitoring conditions. When the rotation speed of the grain elevator is not less than the maximum rotation speed and / or the crop flow in the grain elevator is less than the preset flow, it is determined that the harvester does not meet the crop yield monitoring conditions.
[0032] In a preferred example of the present application, whether the crop flow rate in the grain elevator exceeds the preset flow rate is determined by:
[0033] The crop flow in the grain elevator is detected by the voltage signal of the impulse sensor. When the voltage value of the voltage signal of the impulse sensor is higher than the preset voltage value, it is determined that the crop flow in the grain elevator exceeds the preset flow.
[0034] Here, an impulse sensor is installed at the top of the grain elevator. An impulse sensor is a sensor that can detect and measure impact force or momentum changes. In this embodiment of the present application, the impulse sensor is installed at the top of the grain elevator to detect the flow of crops through the grain elevator and convert it into a voltage signal. The preset voltage value refers to a pre-set voltage standard. When the voltage signal output by the impulse sensor exceeds this voltage standard, it is determined that the crop flow in the grain elevator exceeds the preset flow rate. The voltage signal of the impulse sensor exchanges data with the harvester's controller via CAN communication.
[0035] S102: If the harvester meets the crop yield monitoring condition, the voltage signal of the impulse sensor is received to obtain first crop yield data.
[0036] In a preferred example of the present application, the voltage value of the voltage signal is subtracted from the voltage value of the calibration signal to obtain the actual voltage value, where the calibration signal indicates the signal emitted by the impulse sensor when the grain elevator is idling at the maximum speed.
[0037] The calibration signal here refers to the signal emitted by the impulse sensor when the grain elevator is running at maximum speed and no load. This signal is used to calibrate or adjust the sensor output for more accurate crop yield measurement. During vibration calibration, the impulse sensor output voltage signal varies between harvester models. Therefore, it is necessary to record and save the impulse sensor signal when the grain elevator is running no load for each model to facilitate calculation of the effective voltage signal output by the impulse sensor during harvest. To prevent inaccurate yield data from being misused when the vibration calibration function is not in the harvest vibration state, the grain elevator speed sensor is used to define the conditions for entering vibration calibration. The grain elevator speed sensor outputs an analog signal, which the controller receives and calculates through a certain conversion relationship to obtain real-time grain elevator speed data. As the main clutch throttle is fully applied, the grain elevator speed stabilizes near its maximum value. The maximum speed of the grain elevator varies between models. The vibration calibration function only works properly when the real-time speed reaches near the maximum speed of the grain elevator for the current model.
[0038] The step of receiving the voltage signal of the impulse sensor to obtain the first yield data of the crop includes: converting the actual voltage value into the initial yield data of the crop, and obtaining the first yield data according to the initial yield data and the rotation speed of the grain elevator.
[0039] The first yield data refers to the crop yield data obtained through preliminary measurement and calculation. In the embodiment of the present application, the first yield data is obtained by converting the actual voltage value into the initial yield data and correcting it according to the rotation speed of the grain elevator. The speed of the rotation speed directly affects the grain transportation efficiency and the overall working efficiency of the harvester. There is a certain correspondence between the rotation speed and the yield. For example, when the speed increases, it may mean that the harvester is processing more crops, which may produce a higher yield. But at the same time, too fast a speed may also cause the loss or damage of grains, thereby affecting the actual yield. Therefore, after obtaining the initial yield data, it is necessary to correct it according to the rotation speed of the grain elevator. This correction process can establish an accurate correction model based on the relationship between the rotation speed and the yield. Through this model, the initial yield data can be adjusted according to the actual rotation speed data, so as to obtain more accurate and reliable first yield data.
[0040] S103: According to the harvesting status of the harvester's header, the first yield data is corrected to obtain second yield data.
[0041] Here, the harvesting status of the harvesting platform refers to the working status of the harvesting platform on the harvester, including full-width harvesting, non-full-width harvesting, etc. The harvesting status of the harvesting platform is used as a basis for correcting the first yield data to obtain more accurate second yield data. For example, if the harvesting platform is in a non-full-width harvesting state, the first yield data may need to be adjusted to reflect the actual harvesting efficiency.
[0042] Below through Figure 2 The steps of correcting the first yield data to obtain the second yield data are introduced.
[0043] Figure 2 This is a flowchart for obtaining second production data provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0044] S201: Identify the target voltage interval within which the actual voltage value falls, to determine a target harvesting state corresponding to the target voltage interval.
[0045] Here, multiple voltage intervals are pre-set, each voltage interval corresponds to a harvesting state of the harvesting platform, and the target voltage interval refers to a specific interval within a certain range into which the actual voltage value of the impulse sensor falls. By identifying which target voltage interval the actual voltage value falls into, the current harvesting state can be preliminarily judged.
[0046] S202: Determine a target correction strategy corresponding to the target harvesting state according to the target harvesting state.
[0047] Here, the target correction strategy may include adjusting the proportion of yield data, increasing or decreasing specific yield values, or applying a certain mathematical model for correction, such as the crop flow segmentation model, which aims to more accurately reflect the actual crop yield based on the actual harvest status.
[0048] S203: Correct the first production data according to the target correction strategy to obtain second production data.
[0049] return Figure 1 , S104, displaying the second yield data on the harvester's onboard display terminal, and uploading the second yield data to the cloud platform.
[0050] Here, the on-board display terminal is used to display the second yield data in real time, allowing the driver to intuitively understand the current crop yield situation. The cloud platform is used to receive and store the second yield data uploaded from the harvester for subsequent data analysis, processing or visualization. It can be uploaded to the cloud platform through the on-board TBox, which helps agricultural managers better understand the growth and yield distribution of crops, and make more scientific decisions.
[0051] Through the intelligent display terminal, users can interact with this impulse-based yield monitoring system in real time. The main interface displays real-time yield data such as yield per mu, work efficiency, harvesting efficiency, and grain moisture, as well as average yield data such as cumulative wet weight, cumulative dry weight, average yield per mu, work efficiency, harvesting efficiency, grain moisture, and total harvesting area. Users can also view real-time yield maps or moisture maps.
[0052] After the operation data is saved, you can view the output map overview of the operation in the operation history, view and export the operation data, and the relevant working information of the impulse production monitoring system can be seen on the diagnosis interface. The system parameters can be set or calibrated on the setting interface, and when the system has an abnormality, an alarm message will appear at the top of the screen.
[0053] In a preferred example, after the harvester operation is completed, the actual weighing mass is input into the intelligent display terminal, and the controller automatically updates the yield calibration coefficient. In order to meet the accuracy of the impulse system yield measurement under various harvesting situations and operating conditions, harvesting operations can be performed in full-width, non-full-width and other situations during harvesting. After the operation is completed, the required multiple operation data are selected on the display terminal, and the actual weighing values are input for joint calibration. The system will automatically establish a calibration curve to improve the accuracy of yield measurement.
[0054] Figure 3 This is a flow chart for obtaining dry weight data of crops provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0055] S301. When the harvester meets the crop yield monitoring conditions, it receives a humidity signal from a moisture sensor.
[0056] The moisture sensor is a device capable of detecting and measuring the moisture content of a substance. Installed beneath the grain auger, it monitors the moisture content of crops as they are transported from the grain elevator to the auger and ultimately into the grain silo. This helps understand the moisture status of the crop, which is crucial for subsequent yield calculations and crop processing. The grain auger transports the crops from the grain elevator to the silo. The moisture signal, output by the moisture sensor, indicates the moisture content of the crop.
[0057] S302: Calculate the moisture content of the crop according to the humidity signal.
[0058] Here, moisture content refers to the percentage of water in the crop, which is calculated by processing the humidity signal. Moisture content is very important for understanding the dryness of the crop and calculating dry weight data.
[0059] S303: Obtain dry weight data of the crop according to the moisture content and the second yield data.
[0060] Here, dry weight data is obtained by converting the actual weight of the crop (taking into account the moisture content) into the weight of the crop containing standard moisture.
[0061] S304: Display the moisture content and dry weight data on the vehicle-mounted display terminal, and upload the moisture content and dry weight data to the cloud platform.
[0062] In a preferred example of the present application, it also includes: calculating the per-acre yield data of the crop based on the harvester's speed, operating time and second yield data, generating a crop yield map based on the harvester's location information and per-acre yield data, and synchronously displaying the yield map on the vehicle-mounted display terminal and the cloud platform.
[0063] Per-acre yield data is calculated by combining the harvester's speed, operating time, and secondary yield data. It reflects crop yield per unit area and is a key indicator for assessing crop yield and agricultural production efficiency. The yield map is generated by combining the harvester's location information, per-acre yield data, and delay time. The delay time refers to the interval between the crop entering the harvester's header and the grain striking the impulse sensor. The on-board display terminal generates a crop yield map and moisture map based on the harvester's location information, per-acre yield data, and delay time. This map accurately matches per-acre yield data with location information, visually displaying crop yield distribution in different geographic locations. This map helps agricultural managers understand crop yield distribution and changing trends, providing a basis for agricultural production decisions.
