Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of online monitoring of grain dryer operation information, and in particular to a universal grain dryer operation volume online metering system and method. Background Art

[0002] Drying grain at the production site is an important link and key measure to ensure grain quality, reduce post-production and post-disaster losses, and ensure a bumper grain harvest. It is urgent to accelerate the integration of information technology with drying and grain storage facilities and equipment, improve the intelligence level of drying facilities and equipment, and promote technologies such as automatic measurement of grain drying operations, online moisture measurement, and information monitoring of dryer operations and stored grain conditions, so as to achieve online perception of operation service information, fine production control, and efficient operation and maintenance management.

[0003] The agricultural machinery purchase and application subsidy system has been implemented in my country for many years. The calculation and subsidy issuance of operations such as field plant protection and deep tillage have been increasingly improved. However, due to the lack and insufficiency of online measurement systems and methods for grain drying operations, it is difficult to timely statistically supervise the grain dryer operations, which leads to the accurate calculation and accurate issuance of subsidies for grain drying operations. Existing grain drying equipment is not equipped with an online measurement system for drying operations, and it is impossible to achieve accurate online measurement of the operation volume. It is mostly measured by weighing before or after drying, and the authenticity of the data is difficult to guarantee. In addition, the cost of measuring the drying operation volume with a belt scale or flow scale is high, and the authenticity of the data is prone to tampering, which makes it difficult to promote it widely.

[0004] The invention patent with application number 202110543942.4 relates to an embedded weighing system for real-time detection of the weight of grain in the dryer, the invention patent with application number 202110720968.1 discloses a remote monitoring method for batch grain drying workload, the invention patent with application number 202211403631.9 discloses a remote network drying yield measurement information system and yield measurement method, and the invention patent with application number CN202311766645.1 discloses a continuous dryer remote network workload and quality monitoring system and method. However, whether it involves a batch cycle grain dryer or a continuous grain dryer, there are the following problems: (1) Lack of versatility, only supporting specific types of dryers, and not considering the versatility of different types of grain discharge mechanisms; (2) The difference between grain moisture content and bulk density is not fully considered, the accuracy of the workload measurement method needs to be improved, and it is difficult to convert the standard moisture content, and then it is difficult to calculate the subsidy according to the drying moisture difference.

[0009] The moisture measurement module is installed on the dryer, and the moisture of the grain after drying is detected online in real time during the grain discharge operation of the grain dryer. The data transmission line of the moisture measurement module is connected to the operation volume metering terminal;

[0010] The image monitoring module is installed at the grain discharge of the dryer, and is composed of an image sensor and an edge intelligent processor. The image sensor transmits the image of the dried grain to the edge intelligent processor, which performs a visual analysis of the type of dried grain, grain grain size and quality.

When the operation metering terminal receives the grain discharge operation start signal, the operation metering terminal reads the grain discharge mechanism workload measurement data, the grain moisture data after drying, and the image data after drying in real time, and performs cumulative calculation of the drying operation volume L; Where L is the drying workload, in kg, and is an integral of the grain release time period T after drying in the dryer, in seconds. t is the workload of the grain discharge mechanism at time t, that is, the speed of the driving shaft of the grain discharge mechanism at time t, in r / s; p is the grain discharge volume under the unit speed of the driving shaft of the grain discharge mechanism, p is a constant, which is only related to the fixed dryer and the grain discharge mechanism, in L / r; w t It is the bulk density correction coefficient at time t, which is used for bulk density correction and is related to the grain type, grain grain volume and mass. The unit is kg / L; m t is the grain moisture content correction coefficient, which is used to correct the drying workload under standard moisture content, unify the measurement standard, and is related to the grain moisture content at time t, dimensionless; t The workload measurement module of the grain discharge mechanism is used to measure the workload in real time online, m t The moisture measurement module is used to measure the moisture in real time online. t The image intelligent monitoring module collects and analyzes images of grain particle groups during grain discharge operations to conduct online real-time measurements; At the same time, the operation metering terminal transmits the original data collected by the data collection and processing module and the operation volume data obtained after calculation and processing to the human-computer interaction module for display; and the original data, operation volume data and dryer location information collected by the data collection and processing module can be transmitted to the cloud work platform through the 4G communication module; 3) The data acquisition and processing module in the operation metering terminal determines whether the grain discharge operation is completed by analyzing the grain discharge port image transmitted by the image monitoring module, and transmits the grain discharge operation completion signal to the dryer control system.
