Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an operating system for agricultural machinery, and more specifically, to a new energy control system and display interface for agricultural machinery. Background Art

[0002] Traditional agricultural machinery uses various controls such as handles and multiple physical switch buttons to achieve cotton picking work, and in traditional fault displays, it is mainly through indicator lights. Therefore, in fault handling, it is often necessary to combine the detailed instructions in the operation manual to enter the next maintenance process. In actual use, the paper operation manual is often easily lost, resulting in relatively difficult maintenance. In addition, for decentralized physical switches or actuator buttons, there are usually factors such as circuit breakage and short circuit, and the fault occurrence coefficient of the system is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

This system is particularly applicable to agricultural machinery such as cotton pickers, silage harvesters, wheat harvesters, rice harvesters, and tractors.

[0004] A new energy control system for agricultural machinery according to the present invention includes an instrument operation display system, an integrated handle, and a system controller; the system controller is used to perform an operation enable detection on the agricultural machinery when the agricultural machinery is started. If the operation enable detection passes, the integrated handle is enabled; the system controller is also used to collect the operating parameters after the agricultural machinery is started and send the operating parameters to the instrument operation display system for self - selected classification display according to the category of the operating parameters; function touch buttons corresponding one - to - one with the integrated handle are integrated on the instrument operation display system.

[0005] Preferably, the operation enable detection specifically is:

[0006] Step 1: When the key of the agricultural machinery is turned on and powered on, the low - voltage control components in the agricultural machinery are powered on at low voltage, and the instrument operation display system displays the default interface after the startup is completed;

[0028] The following describes the present invention in further detail with reference to embodiments, but does not constitute any limitation to the present invention. Any limited modifications made by anyone within the scope of the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1, a new energy control system for an agricultural machine of the present invention includes an instrument operation display system, an integrated handle, and a system controller. Among them, the system controller is respectively connected to the instrument operation display system, the integrated handle, the engine controller, the FISG motor controller, the high-voltage distribution box, the energy storage device controller, the drive motor integrated controller, the spindle integrated motor controller, the packing integrated motor controller, the air supply integrated motor controller, the conveying integrated motor controller, and the gearbox controller through CAN communication. In this embodiment, the high-voltage distribution box and the energy storage device controller are collectively referred to as the high-voltage power distribution system. The system controller is used to perform an operation enable detection on the agricultural machine when the agricultural machine is started. If the operation enable detection passes, the integrated handle is enabled, thereby realizing the control of the agricultural machine. The system controller is also used to collect the operation parameters after the agricultural machine is started, that is, collect the corresponding operation parameters from the above-mentioned various controllers, and send the operation parameters to the instrument operation display system for self-selected classification display according to the category of the operation parameters, which is convenient for the driver to monitor the operation parameters of each control part in the agricultural machine.

[0030] The present invention adopts an integrated handle, which effectively avoids the traditional decentralized switch button mode. Through the instrument operation display system, the operation state and fault state of the agricultural machine can be directly displayed, and the next operation steps or suggestion prompts corresponding to the fault can be queried, effectively solving the problems of difficult layout of a large number of execution buttons, loss of operation manuals, and inability to query the corresponding measures after a fault occurs. In addition, for the convenience of operation, function touch buttons corresponding to the integrated handle are integrated on the instrument operation display system of the present invention, that is, the corresponding function buttons on the integrated handle adopt two operation methods. One is to directly operate through the integrated handle, and the other is to operate through the touch screen in the instrument operation display system, so that these function buttons have redundant functions, which can effectively prevent the problem that the machine cannot be operated when one of the components fails, and improve the reliability of the system.

[0031] In this embodiment, the specific steps for performing an operation enable detection on the agricultural machine are as follows:

[0032] Step 1: When the key of the agricultural machine is started and powered on, the low-voltage components in the agricultural machine are powered on with low voltage. This low voltage generally refers to the voltage of the battery on the agricultural machine. The instrument operation display system displays the default interface after the startup is completed.

[0033] Step 2: The system controller collects the communication information between the low-voltage control components and judges the fault state between the low-voltage control components according to the communication information. The judgment method is realized by the conventional signal comparison method. If the judgment result shows no fault information, step 3 is executed.

[0034] In this step, after determining the fault status among the low-voltage control components, the fault status is displayed on the instrument operation display system in the form of a fault level, achieving a simple display and facilitating the driver to quickly respond to the fault. For example, if there is no fault information, the fault display bar on the main interface of the instrument operation display system shows a fault level of 0. If there is a fault, according to the number n of fault information, the fault display bar shows a fault level of n, such as the display system fault level being 1 or 2 or 3; and at the position corresponding to the fault level in the fault display bar, the corresponding fault measures are queried from the fault instruction manual database and the fault measures are displayed, such as prohibiting the engine from starting, or prohibiting the motor from being enabled, etc.

[0035] In addition, if the corresponding fault measures cannot be queried from the fault instruction manual database, a no-fault-measure prompt is displayed, then the fault information is extracted and pre-stored in the fault library, and the fault information is sent to the cloud server when the agricultural machinery is connected to the network. At the same time, when the cloud server returns the fault measures corresponding to the fault information, the fault information in the fault library is deleted, or when the fault measures of the input fault information are entered and saved, the fault information in the fault library is synchronously deleted. Through this method, the fault instruction manual database can be continuously improved, thereby providing more reliable protection and a faster fault resolution mechanism for agricultural machinery. In the instrument operation display system, in addition to the fault instruction manual database, there is also an operation instruction manual database, which is convenient for the driver to view the operation instructions.

[0036] Step 3: The system controller detects whether the power-on of the high-voltage power distribution system of the agricultural machinery is completed. When the power-on of the high-voltage power distribution system is completed, the integrated handle is enabled. That is, on the premise of no fault and the completion of the power-on of the high-voltage power distribution system, the integrated handle can be enabled, thus ensuring the reliability of the agricultural machinery during operation and avoiding the problem that the agricultural machinery is easily damaged due to running with faults.

[0037] The integrated handle integrates a parking button, a field mode button, a first gear button, a second gear button, a third gear button, a manual feeding button, a manual packing button, a fan button, a harvesting head button, a ladder up button, a ladder down button, an engine idle speed button, an engine medium speed button, and an engine high speed button, achieving its high integration and convenient control.

[0038] Step 4: The operation control of the instrument operation display system during the operation of the agricultural machinery.

[0039] After the instrument operation display system is powered on and completed, it is default displayed on the main interface, as Figure 2 shown. The driver can switch between the touch screen keys "Main Interface", "Monitoring Interface", "System Mode", "Parameter Setting", "History Record", and "Operation Instructions" to achieve the content to be displayed by the driver.

[0040] In this embodiment, function selection buttons corresponding one by one to the engine controller, FISG motor controller, drive motor integrated controller, spindle integrated motor controller, packing integrated motor controller, air supply integrated motor controller, conveying integrated motor controller, transmission sensor, and high-voltage power distribution system are provided on the monitoring interface. By clicking the corresponding function selection button, the instrument operation display system displays the operating parameters collected by the controller corresponding to the function selection button, realizing self-selective classification display.

[0041] For example, after the instrument operation display system finishes booting, it is default displayed on the main interface. If the driver wants to know the monitoring variables of the system, the driver can manually touch the screen and click the "Monitoring Interface" touch key at the bottom of the screen, then enter the function selection button display interface, and further select the function selection button, then the monitoring interface display and control interface will be displayed. As Figure 3 shown, the content that can be displayed includes total power supply status display, key status, parking switch status, gate locking status, header rising status, header falling status, tray rising status, tray falling status, walking motor speed, blower speed, header speed, cotton discharging roller speed, feeder speed, cotton rectifying roller speed, packaging film speed, belt speed, clutch status feedback, fuse status, outline light status, brake status, clutch status, fan status, auger status, packaging film status, low gear output, medium gear output, high gear output, system status light, alarm status light.

[0042] When the instrument operation display system finishes booting, if the driver wants to know all the system modes of the system, the driver can manually touch the screen and click the "System Mode" touch key at the bottom of the screen, then the system enters the display system mode interface display and control interface, as Figure 4 shown, the content that can be displayed includes harvesting mode, belt maintenance mode, loading packaging film mode, manual packaging mode, manual ejection mode, feeder belt maintenance mode.

[0043] When the instrument operation display system finishes booting, if the driver wants to know the system parameter settings of the system, the driver can manually touch the screen and click the "Parameter Settings" touch key at the bottom of the screen, then the system enters the display parameter settings interface display and control interface, as Figure 5 shown, the content of parameters that can be displayed and set includes header low speed value, header high speed value, engine high speed rotation value, cotton accumulation height setting, sensor sensitivity, header rising speed, header falling speed, first gear speed, second gear speed, third gear speed, starting speed, blower speed, harvesting area, film forming machine speed, cotton discharging roller speed, tray rising speed, tray falling speed, gate lifting low speed, gate lowering speed, gate lifting speed, gate lowering high speed, feeder speed, cotton bale set diameter, maximum number of films.

[0044] After the instrument operation display system finishes booting up, if the driver wants to know the current or historical faults occurred in the system, the driver can click the "Historical Records" touch key at the bottom of the screen through manual touch screen, and then the system enters the historical record setting interface display and control interface. As Figure 6 shown, the content that can be displayed includes historical fault records and current faults.

[0045] After the instrument operation display system finishes booting up, it is default displayed on the main interface. If the driver wants to know the system operation instructions or fault operation instructions of the system, the driver can click the "Operation Instructions" touch key at the bottom of the screen through manual touch screen, and then the system enters the operation instruction setting interface display and control interface. As Figure 7 shown, the content that can be displayed includes general operation manuals and fault handling operation step manuals. There are multiple pages of operation manuals, and the driver can flip through the pages by clicking the "Previous Page" or "Next Page" touch keys.

[0046] Step 5, if it is detected that the driver's key is powered off, then control the integrated handle and the instrument operation display system to disconnect the CAN communication with the system controller. The instrument operation display system powers off and the screen turns off, and the system enters the sleep state.
