Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of paddy field weeding, and in particular to a single-track paddy field self-adaptive weeding robot. Background Art
[0002] Rice is an important strategic resource for ensuring world food security. In the past five years, the rice production loss rate caused by weeds in my country has reached about 13%. Efficient, sustainable and scientific weed prevention and control has become an important guarantee for achieving high-quality rice yields and one of the important solutions to the global food supply contradiction.
[0003] The paddy field weeding operation environment is complex, with a lot of silt. The spatial distribution of paddy field crop seedlings is not completely regular, and weeds will not only grow between rows, but the precise elimination of weeds between plants has always been the link with the highest requirements for machine performance in paddy field weeding technology. When working in the field, weeding equipment and personnel can easily fall into the field mud; the existing crawler paddy field operation equipment is usually large in size. Due to the small distance between seedlings, the inflexible steering during the movement or the excessive volume of the machine can easily cause crushing and scratching of crops, causing property losses. The single-track chassis has the advantages of a large ground contact area and low ground pressure shared by crawler chassis, and it is more flexible to travel between rows and causes less damage to crops. If the traditional single-track chassis realizes turning action, it needs to set a steering wheel in front of or behind the crawler, which increases the length of the whole machine and reduces maneuverability; when used in the environment of sparse and soft soil in paddy fields, it is easy to cause the steering wheel to slip and mud to be caught between the crawler and the steering wheel. The existing improvements to the single-track chassis have not considered the application in paddy field environments. For example, there is a four-way single crawler device (CN202411244051.9), which is composed of a driving wheel, a steering mechanism, a driven wheel, a bracket and a track shoe assembly. The track shoe assembly includes a floating support, a connecting member and a track shoe. The lower end of the floating support is an inverted T-shaped member, which slides with the double-headed convex groove of the bracket. The connecting member is provided with horizontal and vertical hinge holes, and the track shoe is fixed thereon. The floating support is connected to the connecting member through a horizontal hinge shaft, and then connected to another connecting member and the floating support member through a hinge block and a vertical hinge shaft, and so on, forming a closed crawler device. It can be bent in four directions.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned prior art solutions can realize the steering action of a single crawler, because the interference between the crawler plates should be avoided during steering, the area of a single crawler plate is very small, which reduces the advantage of crawler-type machines in reducing the pressure on the ground. In addition, due to the soft soil in paddy fields, it is easy to sink and stick when used in paddy fields. Its steering method is that the steering mechanism directly deflects the driving wheel, and the driven wheel has no steering effect. It is not flexible enough to travel between narrow paddy field rows, and its maneuverability is not enough to meet the needs of paddy field operations. Its crawler support structure is distributed between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and its weight is large, which is not suitable for paddy fields with low requirements for the weight of the whole machine. In addition, the support is a floating design, which is difficult to bear a large load. How to apply a single crawler device to a paddy field environment, while ensuring the excellent characteristics of the single crawler chassis with flexible travel and large ground contact area, can be applied to the paddy field environment, avoid the shortcomings of the single crawler plate area that can be turned is too small, the center of gravity of the steering method is too high and not flexible enough, which leads to easy sinking and damage to crops in the paddy field, so as to achieve efficient weeding in paddy fields, is a key problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0039] The specific implementation principle process is as follows: The navigation and identification front compartment 5 is responsible for the mobile control of the single-track paddy field adaptive weeding robot. It can obtain the information of seedlings, grass, soil and obstacles in the field based on the binocular camera 5-1 embedded in the front, and transmit the information to the host computer for path planning, so as to plan a walking route in the rugged field. The power of the machine is provided by the front and rear drive wheel modules 3. The power supply and power rear compartment supply power to the front and rear drive wheel modules 3. The wheel hub motors installed oppositely in the drive wheel module 3 drive the pulley to rotate, and the pulley engages with the non-coaxial steering crawler, thereby driving the movement of the crawler to make the robot walk forward and backward. When turning is required, the front and rear frames are deflected through the telescopic movement of the push rod 2-4, and the front frame 2-1 rotates a certain angle around the steering hinge point where the folding hinge shaft 2-9 is located, while the rear frame 2-11 does not deflect as a whole, wherein the push rod 2-4 on one side of the steering chassis main frame 2 is extended, and the push rod 2-4 on the other side of the steering chassis main frame 2 is shortened by the same length, thereby realizing differential steering; the steering of the crawler unit that is not engaged with the pulley 3-1 rotates around the transverse rotating shaft 1-1-5, and the upper steering ring forms an angle with the lower steering ring. At the same time, the lateral change of direction starting section is stationary relative to the transverse rotating shaft, and the lateral change of direction tail section drives the track plate to rotate due to the overall turning of the non-coaxial steering crawler, and the steering chassis drives the non-coaxial steering crawler to complete the turning action, and there is no interference between the crawler units.
[0040] The weeding work of the single-track paddy field adaptive weeding robot is mainly performed by the six-rod inter-row weeding device. The navigation and identification front compartment 5 uses the two-side cameras 5-2 to obtain the seedling grass information on both sides of the forward direction, and then identifies the seedling grass. After identifying the weeds, the built-in motor of the power supply and power rear compartment 6 drives the power shaft 4-10 of the six-rod inter-row weeding device 4 to rotate according to whether the integral of the machine's travel speed and time satisfies the condition that the distance between the camera and the weeding device is equal. The telescopic rod 4-5 extends, and the fixed sickle 4-12 and the movable sickle 4-13 reach the position of cutting the weeds when moving forward. The shortest connecting line between the rotation center point of the movable sickle 4-13 and the weed stems and the forward direction of the robot are close to parallel. The motor driving the universal flexible shaft 4-11 in the power supply and power rear compartment 6 rotates, and the movable sickle 4-13 rotates, and cuts the weeds together with the fixed sickle 4-12. The power shaft 4-10 continues to rotate, and the telescopic rod 4-5 is quickly retracted using the quick return characteristics of the six-rod device to avoid scratching and accidental injury to the crops.
