Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of agricultural plant protection machinery, and particularly relates to a self-running variable application pressure stabilizing system and a control method therefor. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, variable application technology has become an important development direction of plant protection technology. Variable application can achieve precise spraying on demand, and has the advantages of improving the utilization rate of pesticides, reducing pesticide residues, and reducing environmental pollution. The variable flow rate spraying system based on pulse width modulation (PWM) technology adjusts the actual spraying flow rate of the nozzle by changing the signal frequency and duty cycle of the nozzle solenoid valve, and has become the main application method due to advantages such as a wide flow rate adjustment range and stable droplet characteristics. However, during the variable application process, pipeline pressure fluctuations are caused by the opening and closing of some nozzles, pump source pulsation, valve body switching actions, etc., resulting in problems such as poor atomization quality and inaccurate drug dosage that need to be solved urgently. During the operation of the application system, it is necessary to maintain a constant nozzle pressure to ensure accurate application dosage. At the same time, the system pressure magnitude and stability will affect the droplet size and spraying angle. The consistency of the fan-shaped spraying angle is crucial for achieving ideal overlap of adjacent nozzles and maintaining uniform coverage. Therefore, the pressure stability of the application system is a key performance index to ensure the spraying effect.

[0003] Currently, the main method for controlling the pressure stability of the variable application system is to measure the characteristics of the application pump, solenoid valve nozzle, and regulating valve through prior experiments, and then perform pressure control according to the flow rate during actual operation. However, during actual operation, the pressure stabilizing time is long and the pressure fluctuation is large. In addition, during the operation of the application system, the characteristics of these three devices will change greatly due to factors such as wear, blockage, and return water flow rate changes, resulting in large pressure deviations and making the system unable to operate normally. Therefore, it is necessary to automatically test the characteristics of each component during operation, calibrate the flow rate of the main pipeline during each operation, and not rely on the characteristics of the pump, while being able to correct the errors during operation.

[0043] During the operation of each grid, the PWM controller controls the operation of the nozzle solenoid valve according to the duty cycle of the nozzle solenoid valve; the control system calculates Q 阀 The ratio to the maximum flow rate of a single regulating valve is taken as an integer N after rounding. N regulating valves are opened with the maximum flow rate of a single regulating valve, and the other 1 regulating valve is assigned an opening degree of k - 0.5, and t is maintained 1 After that, it is adjusted to be assigned k and maintained for t 2 , t 1 and t 2 are set times less than 1 s; if the pressure of the spraying pipeline is within the range of p ± 0.01, the assigned value remains unchanged.

[0054] Embodiment 1

[0055] This embodiment provides a self-running variable application pressure stabilizing system, as Figure 1 shown, which includes a variable application system, a pressure stabilizing system and a control system. The variable application system consists of a variable nozzle 1, a nozzle solenoid valve 2, an application pipeline 3, a PWM controller 4, a touch screen 6, a power distribution device 7, a power supply 8, a pressure gauge 12, a safety overflow valve 13, a return water stirring valve 14, a secondary filter 15, an application pump 16, a primary filter 17, a medicine tank 18, etc.; the pressure stabilizing system consists of a regulating valve 9, a flow meter 10, a pressure sensor 11, etc.

[0056] In the variable application system, the variable nozzle 1 and the nozzle solenoid valve 2 are connected by a pipeline to spray the liquid medicine onto the field at a certain flow rate and particle size to prevent and control pests and diseases. The nozzle solenoid valve 2 is respectively connected to the variable nozzle 1 and the application pipeline 3, and controls the liquid medicine spraying of the variable nozzle 1 by opening and closing. The working mode is PWM, and the working frequency is generally 10 - 30 Hz. The application pipeline 3 is connected to the application pump 16, the nozzle solenoid valve 2, and the variable nozzle 1, and is responsible for transporting the liquid medicine with a certain pressure. The application pump 16 is connected to the application pipeline 3 and the medicine tank 18, and is used to pressurize the liquid medicine and transport it through the application pipeline 3 to the variable nozzle 1 for spraying onto the field. The medicine tank 18 is used to store the prepared liquid medicine. The pressure gauge 12 is installed on the application pipeline 3 to display the pressure of the application pipeline.

The secondary filter 15 is located at the outlet of the application pump 16 to perform fine filtration on the liquid medicine, with a precision greater than 80 mesh, to prevent blockage of the solenoid valve, nozzle, etc. The safety overflow valve 13 is installed on the application pipeline 3 and is used to automatically open and relieve pressure when the pipeline pressure exceeds the set value (generally 0.5 MPa) to ensure the safety of each component of the application system.

[0057] The control system is respectively connected to the PWM controller 4, the touch screen 6, the power distribution device 7, the regulating valve 9, the flow meter 10, and the pressure sensor 11 through control cables, collects the information of each sensor, receives real-time or prescription map operation information, calculates the duty cycle of each variable nozzle 1 corresponding to the nozzle solenoid valve 2 in the grid, and sends it to the PWM controller 4.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This embodiment proposes a control method for the self - running variable - dosing pressure - stabilizing system based on Embodiment 1. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0062] Step 1: Determine the relationship between the flow rate, pressure, and opening of the regulating valve.

[0063] Close the nozzle solenoid valve, manually open the return - water mixing valve to an appropriate opening, start the dosing pump by the control system, and change the opening of the regulating valve from small to large by PID control so that the pipeline pressure reaches the set pressure. Automatically record the flow rate value each time through the flowmeter. The pressure values are taken as 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 MPa, and the opening values are taken from 0 - 100%, with an interval of 5%. Through data fitting, obtain the relationship formulas between the flow rate of the regulating valve, pressure, and opening:

[0064] Q 阀 =f 1 (p, k);

[0065] k = f 2 (Q 阀 , p);

[0066] In the formula, Q 阀 is the flow rate of the regulating valve, L / min; p is the pressure of the dosing pipeline, MPa; k is the opening of the regulating valve, with the minimum value of 0 and the maximum value of 100, which is automatically adjusted to the corresponding opening by an electrical signal. The electrical - signal range is 0 - 10V, %.

[0067] Since small - flow valves have higher adjustment accuracy, when the dosing system has a large flow rate, configure multiple small - flow regulating valves to improve the response speed and accuracy of the system. If there are multiple regulating valves, determine the relationship formulas between the flow rate, pressure, and opening for each regulating valve according to the above process.

[0068] Step 2: Self - running to determine the relationship between the flow rate of the variable nozzle, the frequency and duty cycle of the nozzle solenoid valve, and the pressure of the dosing pipeline.

[0069] Through the self - learning operation of the dosing system, obtain the relationship formulas between the flow rate of the variable nozzle, the frequency and duty cycle of the nozzle solenoid valve, and the pressure of the dosing pipeline.

[0070] The control system starts the chemical pump and opens the nozzle solenoid valve. The nozzle solenoid valve operates in PWM mode, with an operating frequency range of 10 - 30 Hz, an adjustment interval of 5, a duty cycle range of 10 - 90%, an interval of 10, and pressure values of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 MPa. The PID control changes the opening of the regulating valve to make the pressure in the chemical application pipeline reach the set pressure. The flowmeter automatically records the flow value each time, and through data fitting, the relationship formula between the variable nozzle flow rate and the frequency, duty cycle of the nozzle solenoid valve, and the pressure in the chemical application pipeline is automatically obtained:

[0071] Q 喷 =f 3 (f, d, p);

[0072] d=f 4 (f, d, p);

[0073] In the formula, Q 喷 is the flow rate of the variable nozzle, L / min; f is the frequency when the nozzle solenoid valve operates in PWM mode, Hz; d is the duty cycle when the nozzle solenoid valve operates in PWM mode, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100, %; p is the pressure in the chemical application pipeline, MPa.

[0074] After the variable nozzle has run for a certain period of time, due to pressure wear or blockage, the aperture size will change, and the flow rate will also change. At this time, run step 2 again to correct the relationship formula between the variable nozzle flow rate and the frequency, duty cycle of the nozzle solenoid valve, and the pressure in the chemical application pipeline.

[0075] Step 3: Automatically calculate the reference flow rate of the chemical application pipeline during self - operation.

[0076] Under the condition of constant pressure, the flow rate through the fixed pipeline is also constant. Since the flow rate of the pump and the return water mixing flow rate will change, the reference flow rate in the chemical application pipeline needs to be calibrated each time it runs or when the flow rate changes.

[0077] During calibration, the nozzle solenoid valve is closed, and the PID control adjusts the opening of the regulating valve. When the set pressure stable state is reached (stable for 5 s within p ± 0.01), the opening k 0 of the regulating valve is obtained. Assign a value of k 0 - 0.5 to the regulating valve and maintain it for 0.1 s. Then, the PID control adjusts the opening of the regulating valve again. When the set pressure stable state is reached (stable for 5 s within p ± 0.01), the opening value k of the regulating valve is obtained, and the reference flow rate is calculated based on this opening value. The reference flow rate formula:

[0078] Q 基 =f 1 (p, k);

[0079] In the formula, Q 基 is the reference flow rate, L / min.

[0080] Step 4: The dosing system starts and operates with rapid pressure stabilization.

[0081] Before variable dosing, the flow rate Q of each variable nozzle during operation is obtained from the prescription map or real-time calculation. 喷 During operation, the flow rate of the regulating valve can be calculated by the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, Q 阀 is the flow rate of the regulating valve when the set pressure is reached during operation, in L / min; Q 基 is the reference flow rate obtained from testing, in L / min; Q 喷 is the flow rate of each variable nozzle, in L / min; n is the number of variable nozzles.

[0084] From k = f 2 (Q 阀 , p), the opening value of the regulating valve during operation is calculated.

[0085] From d = f 4 (f, Q 喷 , p), the duty cycle of each nozzle solenoid valve during operation is calculated.

[0086] During operation, the PWM controller controls the operation of the nozzle solenoid valve according to the duty cycle, the variable nozzles perform dosing and spraying, and at the same time, the state of the regulating valve is controlled to achieve rapid pressure stabilization.

[0087] Calculate the ratio of Q 阀 to the maximum flow rate of a single regulating valve, and after rounding, the number N is obtained. The system opens N regulating valves at the maximum flow rate, and at the same time, the calculated opening value k - 0.5 is assigned to another regulating valve. After maintaining for 0.1 s, then assign k and maintain for 0.3 s. If the pressure remains unchanged within the range of p ± 0.01 for the regulating valve, the PID stops. If it exceeds the range, the PID starts and adjusts the pressure to within the range of p ± 0.01.

[0088] Through this step, the pressure of the dosing system can be quickly adjusted to within the range of p ± 0.01 after the variable nozzles are opened, achieving rapid pressure stabilization, and the time is generally less than 1 s.

[0089] Step 5: The spray grid is switched for rapid pressure stabilization.

[0090] After the dosing system starts and operates, it sprays according to the set grid. According to the prescription map or real-time results, the flow rates of the variable nozzles in each grid are different.

[0091] When the current grid is running, given the flow rate of each variable nozzle in the next grid, calculate the flow rate, opening degree of the regulating valve, and duty cycle of each nozzle solenoid valve respectively according to the process in step 4. When reaching the next grid, the PWM controller controls the operation of the nozzle solenoid valve according to the duty cycle, and the variable nozzle sprays pesticides. At the same time, assign the calculated opening degree k - 0.5 to the regulating valve, keep it for 0.1 s, then assign k and keep it for 0.3 s. If the pressure is within the range of p ± 0.01, the regulating valve assignment remains unchanged and the PID stops. If it exceeds the range, the PID starts and adjusts the pressure to within the range of p ± 0.01.

[0092] Keep running in this way in a loop, and the system pressure can be kept stable all the time.

[0093] Step 6: Self-learning opening degree deviation correction.

[0094] During the grid running stage, when the pressure is stable within the range of p ± 0.01, record the opening degree k of the regulating valve calculated each time 计 and the actual opening degree k 实 The difference k 差 = k 实 - k_calculated, and correct this value at the next grid: k = k 计 + k 差 . Among them, the actual opening degree refers to the opening degree adjusted by the PID when reaching the steady state, and the calculated opening degree is the opening degree calculated according to the flow rate and assigned. After assignment, the pressure is not necessarily the set pressure. At this time, the PID will adjust to the set pressure and there will be a corresponding opening degree.

[0095] After running in multiple grids, take the average of the last 10 times of the opening degree difference of the regulating valve, and use the average value to correct the opening degree of the regulating valve when running in the next grid.

[0096] By this method, the pressure value deviation is smaller, closer to the set value, and the voltage stabilizing effect is better.

[0097] Step 7: Quick voltage stabilization when stopping running.

[0098] When the pesticide application system stops running, if the regulating valve is not controlled in a timely and accurate manner, the system pressure will rise sharply, causing system damage. Therefore, when stopping spraying, assign the opening degree corresponding to the reference flow rate to the regulating valve, so that the system pressure can be quickly stabilized at the set pressure p.

[0099] In the specific application process of this embodiment, the variable pesticide application pressure change curve is as Figure 3 shown, and the voltage stabilizing effect is as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen from this that compared with the non-voltage stabilization measures or the existing voltage stabilization technologies, the control method proposed in this embodiment has a short voltage stabilization time and small pressure fluctuation, and has the function of automatically testing and correcting specific parameters, and has good application prospects.

[0100] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several improvements and refinements made without departing from the principle of the present invention should be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
