Abstract
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] Grain drying at the production site is a crucial step and key measure for ensuring grain quality, reducing post-harvest and post-disaster losses, and ensuring a bountiful harvest. There is an urgent need 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 metering of grain drying operations, online moisture measurement, and information-based monitoring of dryer operation and stored grain conditions. This will enable online perception of operational service information, precise 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 distribution for activities such as field plant protection and deep tillage have been increasingly refined. However, the lack and inadequacy of online measurement systems and methods for grain drying workloads have made it difficult to timely monitor and control grain dryer workloads, hindering the accurate calculation and distribution of subsidies for grain drying workloads. Existing grain drying equipment lacks an online measurement system for drying workloads, making it impossible to accurately measure workloads online. Instead, it typically relies on pre- or post-drying weighing, making data authenticity difficult to guarantee. Furthermore, the cost of separately measuring drying workloads with belt scales or flowmeters is high, and the data authenticity is susceptible to tampering, making widespread adoption difficult.
[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 operation, 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 remote network operation and quality monitoring system and method for continuous dryers. However, whether it involves batch cycle grain dryers or continuous grain dryers, 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) Not fully considering the difference in grain moisture content and bulk density, the accuracy of the operation measurement method needs to be improved, making it difficult to convert the standard moisture content, and thus difficult to calculate the subsidy according to the drying moisture difference.

The universal dryer operation volume online metering system according to claim 2, characterized in that: When the dryer is a mobile grain dryer with a spiral auger grain discharge mechanism, the speed measuring gear is installed on the spiral auger drive shaft placed vertically in the middle of the dryer; the magnetoelectric speed sensor is installed on the outside of the speed measuring gear; the moisture measurement module is installed at the bottom of the mobile grain dryer; and the image monitoring module is installed at the grain discharge pipe at the top of the mobile grain dryer.
10. The metering method of the universal dryer operation volume online metering system according to any one of claims 2 to 9, characterized in that: as follows: 1) Initialize the workload metering terminal, perform self-tests on each connected module, and after the self-tests are completed, obtain the geographic location information of the Beidou positioning module; 2) The operation metering terminal waits for the grain discharge start signal from the dryer control system. When it receives the grain discharge start signal, it reads the grain discharge mechanism workload measurement data, grain moisture data after drying, and image data after drying in real time, and performs cumulative calculation of the drying operation volume L. At the same time, the operation metering terminal transmits the raw data collected by the data acquisition and processing module and the workload data obtained after calculation to the human-computer interaction module for display; and transmits the raw data, workload data and dryer location information collected by the data acquisition and processing module 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.
