When the thermal imager 151 detects that the local temperature difference is ≥1.5℃, the microwave weeder 15 directs the radiation of the area for 2-5 seconds.

[0084] Working principle

[0085] The ground walking mechanism cooperates with the controller 3 to control each function module. The interlocking mechanism 101 provided on the vehicle body 1 can connect the tractor under complex conditions to provide diversified operation modes.

The Bluetooth receiving module 10 transmits the signal to the controller 3 for storage. Since the signal coverage radius of the Bluetooth transmission 19 module is less than 1 / 2 of the grid spacing, signal interference between adjacent grids can be effectively avoided to ensure data accuracy. The light supplement lamp 91 provided at the image sensor 9 provides illumination for detection work in low light conditions.

[0089] The discharging mechanism is provided with two sets, each including a storage box 11, a discharging cylinder 12 and a discharging roller 13. The outer diameter of the discharging roller 13 is in close contact with the inner diameter of the discharging cylinder 12, and the surface is circumferentially arrayed with grooves 131 along the length direction. The discharging roller 13 is driven by the second motor 132, and when it rotates one revolution, the grooves 131 quantitatively contain the grass seeds or fertilizers, realizing fixed-width discharging, accurately controlling the amount of scattering, avoiding repeated discharging at the junction, and reducing costs.

[0092] Specific operation process

[0093] The turf area and position information are input into the controller 3, the controller 3 calculates the travel trajectory and controls the vehicle body 1 to walk, and the controller 3 controls the travel distance of the vehicle body 1 by controlling the travel speed of the vehicle body 1, so as to perform full coverage walking on the turf site.

[0094] Check the grass seed density and determine the unit area seeding amount. Calculate the first set of discharge roller 13 speed according to the formula n = (a * m1) / m2 * γ. At the same time, check the fertilizer reserve in the second set of discharge mechanism.

[0095] Soil loosening operation: the ground traveling mechanism starts operation according to the calculated travel trajectory of the lawn area.

[0096] Pruning operation: the grass cutting assembly 5 of the pruning mechanism is driven by the first motor 51 to prune the lawn.

[0097] Weeding operation: the microwave weeding machine 15 is assisted by the thermal imager 151 to weed. The thermal imager 151 utilizes the temperature difference characteristics of weeds and lawn seeds, and when a local temperature difference ≥1.5℃ is detected, the microwave weeding machine 15 is triggered to irradiate the area for 2-5 seconds, accurately removing the weeds.

[0098] Seeding operation: the first set of discharge mechanism rotates the discharge roller 13 at the speed calculated by the controller 3, and the second motor 132 is controlled by the controller 3 to drive the discharge roller 13 to rotate, and the recess 131 quantitatively carries the grass seeds, which are then scattered from the discharge cylinder 12 through the discharge plate 14, realizing quantitative seeding, controlling the grass seed density, and ensuring the emergence rate and lawn quality.

[0099] Fertilizing operation: the second set of discharge mechanism also controls the speed of the discharge roller 13 through the controller 3 to quantitatively scatter the fertilizer from the storage box 11 through the discharge cylinder 12 and the discharge plate 14, providing nutrients for the lawn.

[0100] Identification operation: the identification mechanism works during travel. The image sensor 9 continuously analyzes the ground color, detects the turf damage, and transmits the signal to the controller 3 for storage, while recording the damage location information. The Bluetooth receiving module 10 receives the soil moisture information when passing through the Bluetooth emitting 19 module and records the moisture data of the corresponding position, and then transmits the information to the controller 3 for storage.

[0101] Irrigation stage: after the ground traveling mechanism completes all maintenance work and returns, according to the collected soil moisture information of the Bluetooth emitting 19 module, the electromagnetic valve 162 of the ejecting nozzle 161 is controlled to accurately and quantitatively irrigate different areas, making the moisture of the entire site uniform and meeting the growth needs of the lawn.

A thermal imager (151) is also provided at the microwave weeding machine (15).

7. A multifunctional method for maintaining stadium turf, characterized in that: The lawn maintenance using the multifunctional stadium lawn maintenance device according to claim 6 specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Input the lawn area and location information, and the ground walking mechanism will calculate the walking trajectory based on the area and begin operation; Step 2: During the journey, the soil loosening mechanism loosens the soil through the reciprocating motion of the cylinder (41); Step 3: The mowing mechanism mows the lawn, and the collection mechanism efficiently collects the grass with the assistance of the negative pressure machine (8); Step 4: Weeding is performed using a microwave weed cutter (15); Step 5: The first feeding mechanism is filled with grass seeds. Before starting the operation, check the grass seed density and determine the amount of seeds to be sown per unit area. The seeds are sown quantitatively by controlling the feeding roller (13) in the first feeding mechanism. Step 6: The second feeding mechanism is filled with fertilizer. The fertilizer is applied quantitatively by controlling the feeding roller (13) in the second feeding mechanism. Step 7: The image sensor (9) in the identification mechanism analyzes the surface color and sets the defect threshold, checks for turf defects and records the location information according to the travel distance. During the travel, when the Bluetooth receiving module (10) passes the Bluetooth transmitting module (19), the Bluetooth transmitting module (19) sends the soil moisture information to the Bluetooth receiving module (10), and the Bluetooth receiving module (10) records the soil moisture at that location. Step 8: After the ground walking mechanism returns, it uses the collected soil moisture information from the Bluetooth transmitter (19) module to control the solenoid valve (162) of each ejector nozzle (161) to perform precise quantitative irrigation on each area.

8. A multifunctional stadium turf maintenance method according to claim 7, characterized in that, The formula for calculating the rotational speed of the feeding roller (13) in the first feeding mechanism in step 5 is: n = (a*m1) / m2*γ, where: n is the rotational speed of the feeding roller (13) in the first feeding mechanism, in revolutions per second; 'a' represents the target application rate, in units of seeds per square meter. m1 is the dry weight of grass seeds, in g / thousand seeds; m2 is the amount of material fed in one revolution of the feeding roller (13), in g / revolution; γ is the correction coefficient, γ = vehicle body (1) travel speed * feed roller (13) width; Where: vehicle body (1) travel speed unit: m / s; feed roller (13) width unit: m.
