Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of threshing devices for combine harvesters, and particularly to a method and device for adjusting the concave clearance of a combine harvester. Background Art

[0002] 1. Basis of Known Technologies

[0003] The threshing device of a grain combine harvester is a core working component, and its performance directly affects the threshing efficiency and grain loss rate. The traditional threshing device consists of a high-speed rotating drum and an arc-shaped concave plate, and realizes grain threshing through mechanical actions (striking, rubbing, rolling). The concave clearance (the distance between the drum and the concave plate) is a key parameter determining the threshing quality. If the clearance is too small, it is easy to cause blockage and seed grain breakage; if the clearance is too large, it will result in incomplete threshing and an increase in the grain loss rate. In the prior art, the adjustment of the concave clearance mainly relies on a hydraulic system (hydraulic rod, oil cylinder) or a pneumatic device (air chamber), and realizes the adjustment through pressure or stress feedback. In addition, some solutions adopt mechanical transmission (reversing mechanism, lever mechanism), but manual intervention or staged adjustment is required, lacking continuity and intelligence.

[0004] 2. The Nearest Prior Art Solution

[0005] The technology closest to the present invention is a threshing drum clearance adjustment device and a harvester (CN202411213974.8), and its structure includes:

[0006] a. Adjusting mechanism: Composed of an adjusting screw rod, a rocker arm and a connecting arm, the lower concave clearance is adjusted by driving the screw rod to rotate through a driving part, driving the rocker arm.

[0007] b. Control mechanism: Integrated with an angle sensor, it detects the concave clearance in real time and converts it into a voltage signal, and the controller adjusts the clearance according to the signal.

[0008] c. Display module: Feeds back the real-time clearance value through a display.

[0009] 3. The Existing Concave Clearance Adjustment Technologies Have the Following Core Defects:

[0010] a. Insufficient adjustment accuracy and reliability

[0011] Existing mechanical transmissions (such as screw rods, lever mechanisms) are prone to dead zone errors due to wear, and hydraulic / pneumatic systems have a risk of leakage. After long-term use, the clearance calibration fails and cannot adapt to the dynamic load changes in the field.

[0012] b. Weak calibration and fault tolerance mechanisms

[0013] Existing solutions require manual calibration of the initial position of the sensor, and lack an automatic calibration function. Moreover, there is no hard limit protection set, and misoperation may lead to mechanical interference and cause damage to the machine body.

[0014] c. Insufficient human-machine interaction and maintenance convenience

[0015] Traditional hydraulic systems require regular replacement of seals, resulting in high maintenance costs. Manual adjustment solutions rely on the driver's experience and lack real-time gap display and fault warning functions. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a concave plate gap adjustment method and device for a combine harvester in view of the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: A concave plate gap adjustment method for a combine harvester, comprising: S1, receiving a concave plate gap adjustment instruction input by a user; S2, driving a worm and gear motor to act according to the concave plate gap adjustment instruction to achieve concave plate gap adjustment; S3, obtaining the current value of the concave plate gap, the set value of the concave plate gap, a preset deviation, and a concave plate gap adjustment strategy; S4, calculating the deviation between the current value of the concave plate gap and the set value of the concave plate gap according to the current value of the concave plate gap and the set value of the concave plate gap; S5, determining whether the deviation between the current value of the concave plate gap and the set value of the concave plate gap is greater than the preset deviation; S6, when the deviation between the current value of the concave plate gap and the set value of the concave plate gap is greater than the preset deviation, adjusting the concave plate gap according to the concave plate gap adjustment strategy.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of the present invention are: The concave plate gap closed-loop adjustment algorithm enables the system to automatically reduce the error between the set value and the actual value by constructing a dynamic adjustment model, improves the threshing and separation efficiency, and avoids the negative impacts caused by excessive errors. Calculate the deviation between the current value and the set value. If it is greater than the preset deviation, use the concave plate gap adjustment strategy to adjust the concave plate gap. The control accuracy is better than that of the concave plate gap control method without automatic adjustment function. By designing the transmission system of the worm motor and the gear set to replace the hydraulic cylinder and the stepper motor, it has both high torque and high precision, and eliminates the wear and backlash of the traditional screw adjustment.

[0019] Further, the concave plate gap adjustment instruction includes: a concave plate gap increase instruction and a concave plate gap decrease instruction.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further technical solution are: Press the increase button, and the controller sends a concave plate gap increase control message to the high-power module to drive the motor to act, realizing the concave plate gap increase action. Press the decrease button, and the controller sends a concave plate gap decrease control message to the high-power module to drive the motor to act, realizing the concave plate gap decrease action.

The controller uses CAN communication to feedback the state of the concave plate gap decreasing button to the control panel. Real-time gap display is supported.

[0023] Further, it also includes: manually calibrating or automatically calibrating the maximum value and the minimum value of the concave plate gap with a tooling.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further technical solution are as follows: A dual-mode calibration system of manual tooling calibration and automatic calibration is designed to achieve 5mm or 35mm limit protection and error self-compensation. Press the increase and decrease buttons, and according to the calibration tooling, adjust the gap to 5mm and 35mm, and calibrate them to the maximum and minimum values of the concave plate gap respectively. Press the automatic calibration button to start automatic calibration, and calibrate the maximum and minimum values of the concave plate gap respectively. Manually calibrate the maximum or minimum value of the concave plate gap by positioning the concave plate through an angle sensor. Automatically record the maximum or minimum position by triggering a full-stroke scan of the gap with one key, and solve the efficiency problem of manual calibration. Automatic calibration significantly shortens the calibration cycle, and manual calibration provides an emergency solution in case of equipment failure or algorithm failure. The dual-calibration system can improve the calibration efficiency and ensure the calibration accuracy at the same time.

[0025] Further, the concave plate gap adjustment strategy is to use the ADRC control algorithm to close-loop adjust the concave plate gap.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further technical solution are as follows: Calculate the deviation between the current value and the set value. If it is greater than the preset deviation, then use the ADRC control algorithm to close-loop adjust the concave plate gap.

[0027] Further, after step S6, it includes: S7, obtaining the time for adjusting the concave plate gap according to the concave plate gap adjustment strategy and the preset time; S8, judging whether the time for adjusting the concave plate gap according to the concave plate gap adjustment strategy is greater than the preset time; S9, when the time for adjusting the concave plate gap according to the concave plate gap adjustment strategy is greater than the preset time, stop the adjustment work.

[0028] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further technical solution are as follows: Use the ADRC control algorithm to close-loop adjust the concave plate gap. If the target position is not adjusted after the preset time, then close this target adjustment. Avoid always performing the concave plate gap adjustment strategy, reduce the controller load, and facilitate re-comparing the deviation.

[0029] Further, the preset time is 10S and the preset deviation is 0.8.

[0030] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is as follows: Calculate the deviation between the current value and the set value. If it is greater than 0.8, use the ADRC control algorithm to close-loop adjust the concave plate gap. If the target position has not been adjusted after 10S, then close this target adjustment. This can avoid always performing the concave plate gap adjustment strategy, reduce the controller load, and facilitate re-comparing the deviation.
