[0031] In the prior art, when the trailer agricultural implement is offset, causing the forward direction of the trailer agricultural implement to be unable to coincide with the actually planned path, the offset of the trailer agricultural implement needs to be adjusted. The adjustment method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the agricultural implement 10 needs to be driven in an S-shaped manner to move in a straight line of at least 3 rows to perform the operation, and the left intersection row and the right intersection row are measured during the operation. After calculating the difference between the left intersection row and the right intersection row, the difference is divided by four to obtain the offset of the agricultural implement. However, this calibration method has a cumbersome process, high learning cost, time-consuming and fuel-consuming, and low accuracy.

[0032] Based on this, in order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device offset calibration method, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2A flow chart of a device offset calibration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The device offset calibration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention can be executed by a device offset calibration device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware. The device offset calibration device can be composed of two or more physical entities, or can be composed of one physical entity. For example, the device offset calibration device can be a computer, a host computer, a tablet and other devices. In addition, the device offset calibration method in this embodiment is applied to operating equipment, and the operating equipment includes a main device and a sub-device. The main device is connected to the sub-device, and the main device is used to drive the sub-device to perform operations. Among them, the operating equipment refers to equipment used for performing operations, such as equipment for agricultural operations, industrial operations or construction operations. In this embodiment, the operating equipment is an agricultural machinery used for agricultural operations. The main equipment on the agricultural machinery is the head for providing power, and the sub-equipment is the agricultural implement towed on the head. After the head is started, the agricultural implement can be driven to move, so that the agricultural implement can carry out ploughing operations, sowing operations or harvesting operations. The device offset calibration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0033] Step 101: Determine the operating width of the operating equipment.

[0034] In this embodiment, when adjusting the offset of the working equipment, the equipment offset calibration device first needs to determine the working width of the working equipment. The working width refers to the actual working width of the agricultural implement when the agricultural implement is working. For example, when the agricultural implement is a seed drill, the working width of the agricultural implement refers to the distance between the center point of the rightmost seeding hole of the seed drill and the center point of the leftmost seeding control, such as Figure 3 When determining the working width of the agricultural machinery, the agricultural machinery can be controlled to travel a certain distance in advance, and then the actual working width of the agricultural implement can be measured to obtain the working width of the agricultural implement, and then the working width can be entered into the equipment offset calibration device.

[0035] Step 102, executing the collection step multiple times within a preset time, the collection step including collecting the heading information of the operating equipment, the first coordinates of the main equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system, and the second coordinates of the auxiliary equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system.

[0036] After determining the working width of the operating equipment, the equipment offset calibration equipment needs to perform the collection step multiple times within a preset time, where the preset time and the cycle of executing the collection step can be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset time can be set to 10 seconds and the cycle can be set to 1S, that is, 10 collection steps are performed within 10 seconds. In addition, it should be noted that when executing the collection step, the operating equipment needs to remain stationary, that is, the operating equipment does not move.

[0037] Specifically, when executing the collection step, the collection step includes collecting the heading information of the operating equipment, the first coordinate of the main equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system, and the second coordinate of the auxiliary equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system. The heading information includes the heading of the operating equipment, and the heading of the operating equipment is the angle measured clockwise from the north end of the longitude of the location of the operating equipment to the heading line. The longitude and latitude coordinate system is a geographic coordinate system. The longitude and latitude coordinate system uses a combination of longitude and latitude to determine a specific location on the surface of the earth. The longitude and latitude coordinates of a point are expressed as a combination of two numerical values. For example: 40°N, 120°E represents a position of 40 degrees north latitude and 120 degrees east longitude. In one embodiment, the user can set a positioning device on the agricultural machinery in advance, and the equipment offset calibration device can obtain the heading information, the first coordinate, and the second coordinate on the positioning device when executing the collection step. For example, if Figure 4 As shown, the user can install the navigation host 40 on the head 20 of the agricultural machine 10, install the secondary GPS antenna 50 (or dotting device) on the left edge or right edge of the agricultural implement 30 of the agricultural machine, and establish a communication connection between the secondary GPS antenna 50 (or dotting device) and the navigation host 40. In the subsequent process of executing the acquisition step, after the navigation host 40 and the secondary GPS antenna 50 (or dotting device) both enter the RTK positioning state and successfully obtain high-precision positioning and heading information, the device offset calibration device can obtain the heading information, the first coordinate of the head 20 and the second coordinate of the agricultural implement 30 in the navigation host 40 and the secondary GPS antenna 50.

[0038] Step 103: Convert the first coordinate and the second coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step into the third coordinate in the station center coordinate system and the fourth coordinate in the station center coordinate system respectively.

[0039] After executing the acquisition step and acquiring the heading coordinates, the first coordinates and the second coordinates, it is necessary to convert the first coordinates and the second coordinates in the longitude and latitude coordinate system acquired in each acquisition step into the third coordinates in the station center coordinate system and the fourth coordinates in the station center coordinate system. The station center coordinate system is also called the northeast celestial coordinate system. The station center coordinate system is a rectangular coordinate system composed of the station center as the origin O of the coordinate system, the Z axis coincides with the ellipsoid normal, the upward direction is positive (celestial direction), the y axis coincides with the minor semi-axis of the ellipsoid (north), and the x axis coincides with the major semi-axis of the earth ellipsoid (east). Specifically, when converting the coordinates, the first conversion matrix between the longitude and latitude coordinate system and the earth-centered earth-fixed coordinate system can be determined first, and then the second conversion matrix between the earth-centered earth-fixed coordinate system and the station center coordinate system can be determined. Subsequently, according to the first conversion matrix and the second conversion matrix, the first coordinates and the second coordinates in the longitude and latitude coordinate system can be converted into the third coordinate and the fourth coordinate in the station center coordinate system, respectively. The specific process can refer to the prior art and will not be repeated in this embodiment. Since the heading information is in the station center coordinate system, there is no need to convert the heading information.

[0040] In addition, it can be understood that the conversion process of the first coordinate and the second coordinate can be executed immediately after the first coordinate and the second coordinate are collected, without waiting until all the collection steps are completed before executing them uniformly.

[0041] Step 104: determine the offset of the auxiliary device according to the working width and the heading information, the third coordinate and the fourth coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step, and calibrate the position of the auxiliary device according to the offset.

[0042] After the acquisition step is executed, the device offset calibration device can determine the offset of the auxiliary device according to the working width, the heading information collected in each acquisition step, and the third coordinate and the fourth coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step. Exemplarily, the device offset calibration device can calculate the relative position deviation between the head and the agricultural implement each time the acquisition step is executed according to the third coordinate and the fourth coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step, and then perform mean filtering on the relative position deviations corresponding to all acquisition steps to obtain the movement deviation value of the agricultural implement. Finally, according to the movement deviation value of the agricultural implement and the working width of the agricultural implement, the offset of the agricultural implement is determined, and the position of the agricultural implement is calibrated according to the offset.

[0043] As mentioned above, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for calibrating the offset of the auxiliary equipment towed in the working equipment. When the embodiment of the present invention adjusts the offset of the auxiliary equipment towed in the working equipment, it is necessary to perform the collection step multiple times within a preset time to collect the heading information of the working equipment, the first coordinate of the main equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system, and the second coordinate of the auxiliary equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system, and convert the first coordinate and the second coordinate into the third coordinate in the station center coordinate system and the fourth coordinate in the station center coordinate system; finally, according to the working width of the auxiliary equipment and the heading information, the third coordinate and the fourth coordinate corresponding to each collection step, the offset of the auxiliary equipment is determined, and the position of the auxiliary equipment is calibrated according to the offset. In the process of calibrating the offset of the auxiliary equipment in the embodiment of the present invention, the user does not need to operate the working equipment to move, the working equipment only needs to remain in a stationary state, and the offset of the auxiliary equipment can be calibrated without excessive operation, which simplifies the steps of calibrating the offset of the equipment, and at the same time, the calibration accuracy is high and the learning cost is low. The embodiment of the present invention solves the technical problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy in the process of calibrating the offset of the equipment in the prior art.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of another device offset calibration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 The device offset calibration method shown is a specialization of the device offset calibration method described above.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the device offset calibration method includes:

[0046] Step 201: Determine the operating width of the operating equipment.

[0047] Step 202, executing the collection step multiple times within a preset time, the collection step includes collecting the heading information of the operating equipment, the first coordinates of the main equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system, and the second coordinates of the auxiliary equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system.

[0048] Step 203: Convert the first coordinate and the second coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step into the third coordinate in the station center coordinate system and the fourth coordinate in the station center coordinate system respectively.

[0049] Step 204: Determine the position deviation of the slave device relative to the master device each time the collection step is performed according to the heading information, the third coordinate, and the fourth coordinate corresponding to each collection step.

[0050] In this embodiment, when calibrating the offset of the secondary device, it is first necessary to determine the position deviation of the secondary device relative to the main device when each acquisition step is performed based on the heading information, the third coordinate, and the fourth coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step. The position deviation refers to the deviation of the position of the secondary device relative to the position of the main device in a direction perpendicular to the heading. Exemplarily, when calculating the position deviation, the direction of travel of the main device can be determined based on the heading information and the third coordinate of the main device, and then the vertical distance between the secondary device and the direction of travel can be calculated based on the fourth coordinate of the secondary device to obtain the position deviation of the secondary device relative to the main device.

[0051] Based on the above embodiment, in step 204, according to the heading information, the third coordinate and the fourth coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step, the position deviation of the secondary device relative to the primary device when each acquisition step is performed includes:

[0052] Step 2041: Determine the target straight line in the station center coordinate system according to the heading information corresponding to each acquisition step and the third coordinate.

[0053] When calculating the position deviation, it is first necessary to determine the target straight line in the station center coordinate system based on the heading information and the third coordinate collected in each collection step. In this embodiment, the heading information includes the angle between the orientation of the operating equipment and the true north direction. When determining the target straight line, a straight line with the angle as the extension direction and passing through the third coordinate can be set in the station center coordinate system. This straight line is the target straight line.

[0054] Step 2042: determine the vertical distance between the fourth coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step and the corresponding target straight line, and obtain the position deviation of the secondary device relative to the primary device when each acquisition step is performed.

[0055] After determining the target straight line corresponding to each acquisition step, the fourth coordinate of the slave device corresponding to each acquisition step can be further obtained, and the vertical distance of the fourth coordinate corresponding to each acquisition step in the direction perpendicular to the target straight line corresponding to each step can be calculated, so as to obtain the position deviation of the slave device relative to the main device when each acquisition step is executed, such as Figure 6 As shown, assuming Figure 6 The target straight line is S, and L is the position deviation.

[0056] Step 205: Determine the offset of the auxiliary device according to the working width and the position deviation corresponding to each acquisition step.

[0057] After determining the position deviation of the auxiliary device relative to the main device each time a collection step is performed, the device offset calibration device can determine the offset of the auxiliary device based on the working width and the position deviation corresponding to each collection step, so as to subsequently adjust the position of the auxiliary device based on the offset of the auxiliary device.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, in step 205, the offset of the auxiliary device is determined according to the working width and the position deviation corresponding to each acquisition step, including:

[0059] Step 2051: Calculate the movement deviation value of the secondary device according to the position deviation corresponding to each acquisition step.

[0060] After obtaining the position deviation corresponding to each acquisition step, the mobile deviation value of the auxiliary device can be calculated. Specifically, when calculating the mobile deviation value, the position deviations corresponding to all acquisition steps can be mean filtered to obtain the mobile deviation value of the auxiliary device. In the embodiment of the present invention, by executing the acquisition step multiple times and performing mean filtering on the position deviation values ​​corresponding to all acquisition steps, it is possible to avoid the problem of inaccurate position deviation results calculated in the end due to acquisition errors or large acquisition deviations when only one acquisition step is executed, thereby improving the accuracy of the calculated mobile deviation value to a certain extent.

[0061] Step 2052: Determine the offset of the auxiliary equipment according to the working width and the movement deviation value of the auxiliary equipment.

[0062] Finally, the offset of the auxiliary device is determined according to the working width of the working device and the movement deviation value of the auxiliary device. In one embodiment, when determining the offset of the auxiliary device, the movement deviation value can be first subtracted from half of the working width to obtain the difference. The specific formula is as follows:

[0063] Difference = movement deviation value - working width / 2.

[0064] Afterwards, the offset of the secondary device is determined based on the difference and the position of the positioning device for collecting the second coordinate on the secondary device. In this embodiment, the secondary GPS antenna (or dotting device) for collecting the second coordinate can be installed on the left or right side of the agricultural implement. The calculated difference is essentially the offset of the left or right side of the agricultural implement relative to the head. Therefore, in this embodiment, when determining the offset of the secondary device, it is necessary to further consider the influence of the position of the secondary GPS antenna (or dotting device) on the difference. The position of the secondary GPS antenna (or dotting device) determines the adjustment direction of the secondary device when adjusting the offset.

[0065] On the basis of the above embodiment, determining the offset of the secondary device according to the difference and the position of the positioning device for collecting the second coordinate on the secondary device includes:

[0066] When the positioning device is located on the right side of the secondary device, the difference is determined as the offset of the secondary device. When the positioning device is located on the left side of the secondary device, a negative sign is given to the difference to obtain the offset of the secondary device.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the secondary GPS antenna (or dotting device) is installed on the right side of the farm implement, the difference calculated according to the above formula is the final offset of the secondary device. When the secondary GPS antenna (or dotting device) is installed on the left side of the farm implement, a negative sign needs to be given to the difference to obtain the final offset of the secondary device.

[0068] Step 206: Calibrate the position of the secondary device according to the offset.

[0069] Finally, the position of the auxiliary device can be calibrated according to the offset. In one embodiment, the user can obtain the target width of the junction row in advance, and after calibrating the position of the auxiliary device, control the operation device to measure the measured width of the junction row, and compare the target width with the measured width, and verify whether the junction row after the auxiliary device is calibrated is accurate according to the comparison result.

[0070] As described above, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for calibrating the offset of an equipment. When adjusting the offset of an auxiliary equipment towed in an operating equipment, the embodiment of the present invention needs to perform the acquisition step multiple times within a preset time period to collect the heading information of the operating equipment, the first coordinate of the main equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system, and the second coordinate of the auxiliary equipment in the longitude and latitude coordinate system, and convert the first coordinate and the second coordinate into the third coordinate in the station center coordinate system and the fourth coordinate in the station center coordinate system. Afterwards, according to the heading information, the third coordinate, and the fourth coordinate, the position deviation of the auxiliary equipment relative to the main equipment is determined each time the acquisition step is executed, and the position deviations corresponding to all acquisition steps are averaged and filtered to obtain the movement deviation value of the auxiliary equipment. Finally, according to the movement deviation value of the auxiliary equipment and the working width, the offset of the auxiliary equipment is determined and the position of the auxiliary equipment is calibrated.

[0071] In the process of calibrating the offset of the auxiliary device in the embodiment of the present invention, the user does not need to operate the operating device to move, and the operating device only needs to remain in a stationary state. The offset of the auxiliary device can be calibrated without excessive operations, which simplifies the steps of calibrating the offset of the device. At the same time, the calibration accuracy is high and the learning cost is low. The embodiment of the present invention solves the technical problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy in the process of calibrating the offset of the device in the prior art.

[0072] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a device offset calibration device, such as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of a device offset calibration device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is applied to an operating device, wherein the operating device includes a main device and a secondary device, the main device is connected to the secondary device, and the main device is used to drive the secondary device to operate, including:
