[0002] With the continuous improvement of the level of modern agricultural mechanization, the application of seed drills in agricultural production is becoming more and more extensive. However, the soil compaction phenomenon generated during the operation of the seed drill has a significant negative impact on the crop growth environment and yield. Excessive soil compaction will lead to a reduction in soil porosity, hinder the infiltration and circulation of water, nutrients and air, and is not conducive to the development of crop roots, thereby reducing crop yields. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the degree of soil compaction has become one of the important topics in the research of modern agricultural machinery. By adjusting the acceleration rate of the seed drill, the force of the seed drill on the soil can be dynamically controlled, thereby effectively reducing the degree of soil compaction. However, the research and application of acceleration rate control is still in its infancy and still faces the following challenges:

[0033] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 Specifically describing this embodiment, the method for adjusting the speed change rate of a planter for reducing soil compaction described in this embodiment includes:
[0035] 1. Acceleration measurement
[0036] The linear acceleration of the planter is collected in real time using a high-precision IMU sensor, and the continuous sampling points are numerically differentiated. The finite difference method is used to calculate the acceleration change rate:
[0037]
[0038] Where a is the linear acceleration, is the acceleration change rate, Δt is the sampling time interval, and t is the sampling time.
[0039] 2. Soil compaction measurement
[0040] The pressure sensor is used to obtain the soil pressure sensing data in real time, and the pressure sensing data is converted into soil compaction C through the calibration model. real :
[0041] C real = k·P
[0042] Among them, k is the calibration model coefficient, which is 1.5; P is the pressure sensor data.
[0043] 3. Compaction error calculation
[0044] Calculate the soil compaction error e C :
[0045] e C =C real -C target ,
[0046] Among them, C target is the target compaction degree.
[0047] Calculating the rate of change of error using the finite difference method
[0048]
[0049] Accumulated error, used to eliminate long-term deviations:
[0050]
[0051] Among them, ∫e C dt represents the error integral.
[0052] 4. According to the soil compaction error e C The PID controller is used to dynamically adjust the acceleration rate of the seeder to make the soil compaction degree C real Close to target value C target , as follows:
[0053]
[0054] Where u(t) is the output of the PID controller, K P is the proportionality coefficient, K I is the integration coefficient, K D is the differential coefficient, It is the acceleration change rate after PID adjustment.
[0055] 5. Control execution
[0056] Using the acceleration rate after PID adjustment Calculate the target speed v target :
[0057]
[0058] Among them, v current It is the actual speed of the seeder.
[0059] According to the target speed v target Generate PWM signal or DAC voltage signal, use low-pass filtering algorithm to filter the voltage signal to avoid drastic fluctuations in acceleration adjustment, and then drive the motor to accelerate or decelerate, ensuring stable transmission of control signals and fast response.
[0060] In the above PID adjustment control process, the motor drive device is required to support PWM signal input and drive the propulsion device of the planter. The main control chip uses the STM32 series or ESP32 to achieve real-time signal processing. The communication module uses CAN bus or RS485 to ensure high-speed communication between the actuator and the controller.
[0061] At the same time, there is a safety control mechanism in the PID adjustment control process.
[0062] This mechanism sets the upper and lower safety limits of the acceleration rate of change and soil compaction, and continuously monitors the current acceleration rate of change and soil compaction. If the threshold is exceeded, an alarm signal is sent, and emergency braking is triggered to cut off the motor output. This ensures the safety of the control system under abnormal conditions and avoids equipment damage or excessive soil compaction. Its hardware requirements include:
[0063] Emergency brake device: independent of the main control chip, directly disconnects the motor in response to an over-limit signal.
[0064] Sensor redundancy design: cross-validation data of multiple groups of acceleration sensors.
[0065] In actual application, this embodiment also records parameters such as acceleration, soil compaction degree and its error in real time for subsequent analysis. The hardware requirements for this function include: SD card module or EEPROM for local storage. Wi-Fi module for uploading data to the cloud.
[0066] In actual application, this embodiment uses a touch screen to display real-time data and supports interaction, such as a TFT LCD screen. It is clear and intuitive, and the user can quickly understand the operation status. The interface includes a real-time data display area that displays acceleration, acceleration change rate, soil compaction and error. The operation area includes a start / stop operation button. The chart area is used to display the change curve of compaction over time.
