Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seed drill control, and in particular to a seeding depth control device and method for synchronous monomer movement of corn no-till seeding. Background Art

[0002] Appropriate sowing depth has a crucial impact on seed germination and seedling growth. If the sowing depth is too deep, the seeds need to consume too much energy to break through the thick soil layer when they emerge from the soil, which may cause difficulty in the emergence of seedlings, or even rot in the soil due to energy exhaustion. If the sowing depth is too shallow, the seeds are not easily affected by the external environment due to insufficient water supply and difficult to take root. For example, they are easily dried by the wind and pecked by birds, which is not conducive to the smooth germination of seeds and the healthy growth of subsequent seedlings. Sowing depth control is one of the important indicators of precision sowing technology and an important basis for judging the appropriate seed depth and agronomic requirements of crop sowing. Accurate sowing depth is one of the important means to increase crop yields. At present, there are mainly active control and passive control in the sowing depth regulation. Passive control mainly relies on the profiling structure and depth limiting wheel of the sowing unit to adjust, which can be used to maintain the target sowing depth, but has not achieved autonomous control. The problem that the consistency of sowing depth is easily affected by the field topography has not been solved. Active control mainly relies on air pressure or hydraulic pressure, air springs, electric push rods, etc. in conjunction with sensors to achieve automatic sowing depth control, so that the sowing depth can be adjusted under certain terrain conditions.

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] Embodiment 1: Referring to the attached Figure 1-2 and Figures 7-9 , a seeding depth control device for the synchronous movement of a single unit in no-till corn seeding includes a seeding depth detection system, a tractor frame 5, a horizontal pipe 4, a plurality of profiling depth-limiting wheels 3, and a plurality of seeding units 1 with a mechanical parallelogram profiling structure. It also includes a longitudinal adjustment mechanism corresponding to the seeding unit 1, which is fixedly connected between the seeding unit 1 and the horizontal pipe 4 to adjust the height of the seeding unit 1 in the transverse direction at different height changes, so as to adjust the seeding depth according to the terrain; The specifically designed longitudinal adjustment mechanism includes a housing 2. A single-body fixed guide block 21 is slidably connected inside the housing 2. A plurality of guide posts 20 are sleeved on the side wall of the single-body fixed guide block 21 through guide holes. The plurality of guide posts 20 are all fixed inside the housing 2. The cooperation between the guide posts 20 and the single-body fixed block 21 can limit the moving direction of the seeding unit 1 and can provide sufficient traction stability. One side of the housing 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the cross pipe 4. A circular hole is provided at the lower end of the housing 2. A hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixed at the lower end of the housing 2. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8 passes through the circular hole and is fixedly connected to the center of the lower end of the single-body fixed guide block 21. Here, a hydraulic cylinder 8 of model FA50 - stroke 100 piston type is used to directly drive the single-body fixed guide block 21 to move up and down; Two rectangular holes 22 are provided on one side of the housing 2. Guide blocks 23 are slidably connected inside the two rectangular holes 22. The two guide blocks 23 are commonly and fixedly connected to a rectangular plate 24. One side of the rectangular plate 24 is in contact with the side wall of the housing 2. The rectangular plate 24 can be used to block the rectangular holes 22 to reduce dust from entering the housing 2 and avoid dust from causing wear between the guide posts 20 and the single-body fixed guide block 21. The other side of the rectangular plate 24 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat of the seeding unit 1 through bolts. An opening is provided on the side of the housing 2 away from the seeding unit 1, and an end cover 7 is fixedly connected to the opening through bolts. The end cover 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the cross pipe 4; The main control single-chip microcomputer is of model STM32F103RCT6, which can automatically control the depth control hydraulic active regulation device module according to the detection value of the seeding depth detection system. When the ditching depth of the ditching opener exceeds the target set value, it controls the hydraulic cylinder 8 to extend to drive the single-body fixed guide block 21 to move the entire seeding unit 1 upward to reduce the ditching depth before seeding. On the contrary, it controls the hydraulic cylinder 8 to retract to drive the single-body fixed guide block 21 to move the entire seeding unit 1 downward to increase the ditching depth. The seeding depth regulation device will not affect the parallel four-bar profiling mechanism to follow the terrain. The seeding depth regulation device and the four-bar profiling mechanism interact with each other to jointly ensure the ditching depth stability and seeding depth consistency of the ditching opener.

[0020] Figure 9 Shown is the seeding effect diagram of multiple seeding units 1 on a slope. At this time, the individually configured hydraulic cylinders 8 of the multiple seeding units 1 can be used to enable each seeding unit 1 to operate according to the preset seeding depth.

[0021] A lateral adjustment mechanism is also provided, which is installed between the cross pipe 4 and the traction frame 5 to adjust the seeding depth of the multiple seeding units 1 on a steep slope ground by adjusting the parallelism between the cross pipe 4 and the ground; The specifically set horizontal adjustment mechanism includes a rectangular pipe 6, which is fixed on the towing frame 5. A main shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the pipe wall of the rectangular pipe 6 through a rolling bearing. One end of the main shaft 18 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 14, and the fixed frame 14 is fixedly connected to the center of the pipe wall of the horizontal pipe 4. The main shaft 18 is used to realize the movable connection between the rectangular pipe 6 and the horizontal pipe 4, so that the horizontal pipe 4 swings horizontally with the main shaft 18 as the axis. Two arc-shaped rods 13 are sleeved on the pipe wall of the rectangular pipe 6 through arc-shaped holes. Both ends of the two arc-shaped rods 13 are fixedly connected to a support 19, and the support 19 is fixed on the pipe wall of the horizontal pipe 4. The two arc-shaped rods 13 play a role in increasing the traction stability and reducing the wear between the main shaft 18 and the rolling bearing. Some rollers can be added between the arc-shaped rod 13 and the rectangular pipe 6 to reduce the friction between the arc-shaped rod 13 and the rectangular pipe, or other auxiliary lubricating components can be set. The existing technology can be adopted here, and no more details will be elaborated; An arc-shaped rack 12 is fixedly connected to the rod wall of the arc-shaped rod 13. A notch matching the arc-shaped rack 12 is arranged on one side of the arc-shaped hole. A gear 26 is meshed with one side of the arc-shaped rack 12. A hydraulic motor 11 is fixed on the pipe wall of the rectangular pipe 6. The output shaft of the hydraulic motor 11 extends into the rectangular pipe 6 and is fixedly connected to one side of the gear 26. One end of the main shaft 18 passes through the rolling bearing and is sleeved with a fixed disk 16. A protrusion is arranged on one side of the fixed disk 16, and a pressure disk 15 is sleeved on the protrusion. The pressure disk 15 is fixed on the pipe wall of the rectangular pipe 6 by bolts. Multiple spline grooves are arranged on the shaft wall of the main shaft 18. Multiple spline teeth matching the spline grooves are arranged on the side wall of the pressure disk 15. A fixing screw 17 is sleeved on the side wall of the pressure disk 15 through a round hole. One end of the main shaft 18 is connected to the fixing screw 17 through a threaded hole. The pressure disk 15 and the fixed disk 16 can play a role in positioning one end of the main shaft 18 and increasing the axial stability of the main shaft 18.

[0022] Because when sowing on an inclined ground, the towing tractor, the frame of the seeder and multiple seeding units 1 are all in an inclined state, and the frame of the traditional seeder cannot be adjusted horizontally. Therefore, in the above technical solution, the hydraulic motor 11 can directly drive the gear 26 to make the arc-shaped rod 13 swing with the main shaft 18 as the axis. When the arc-shaped rod 13 swings, the support 19 drives the horizontal pipe 4 to swing to a horizontal posture, so as to synchronously adjust the vertical postures of multiple seeding units 1. Then, on the inclined ground, first adjust the posture of the seeding unit 1 to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and then use the longitudinal adjustment mechanism to independently adjust the vertical position of the seeding unit 1 to adjust the seeding depth. In this way, the seeding unit 1 can always be in a vertical state during sowing, without affecting the stable seed metering of the seed metering device of the seeding unit 1. Secondly, the horizontal adjustment mechanism can be selectively turned off; The sowing depth detection system of the present technical solution controls the movement of the longitudinal adjustment mechanism through the multiple hydraulic cylinders 8, and controls the movement of the lateral adjustment mechanism through the hydraulic motor 11. The sowing depth detection system is specifically composed of a main control microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor measurement module, a reference panel 10, a hydraulic station 9 and an electronic gyroscope 25. The ultrasonic sensor measurement module is composed of an ultrasonic sensor and a fixing frame. The box body of the ultrasonic sensor is installed on the fixing frame. A detection hole is opened at the bottom of the box body. The size of the detection hole enables the ultrasonic sensor probe to extend. The fixing frame is installed on the sowing unit 1. The electronic gyroscope 25 is installed on the wall of the horizontal tube 4. The reference panel 10 is provided with a signal receiving module for receiving the signal emitted by the ultrasonic sensor. The signal receiving module can feed back the received ultrasonic sensor signal and the signal of the electronic gyroscope 25 to the main control microcontroller. Other software and control algorithms configured in this system adopt existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0023] The above method for regulating the sowing depth by using hydraulic components comprises the following steps: Step 1: Move the control device to the land to be tested after the field test, and install the device on the seeder according to the instructions; Step 2: Initialize the system components, including the wireless receiving module, the corresponding I / O of the MCU, the initial position of the sowing depth control device, and the horizontal posture. Then, a sowing depth target value needs to be set for the MCU. ; Step 3: Start the seed drill, and start the active seeding depth control device, the electronic gyroscope 25 and the ultrasonic sensor; Step 4: The main controller of the main control microcontroller receives the broadcast depth collection information from the host computer through the wireless communication module , compare the host computer broadcast depth acquisition value and seeding depth target The size of the seeding depth can be used to determine the seeding depth; Step 5: The main control microcontroller sends a command to make the sowing depth control device adjust the distance to The D / A converter then The analog signal is converted into an analog signal and sent to the hydraulic solenoid valve to control the extension and contraction of the hydraulic cylinder 8.

[0024] The electronic gyroscope 25 is used to detect the yaw angular velocity of the cross tube 4 in real time. The single chip microcomputer receives the signal output by the electronic gyroscope 25. The single chip microcomputer controls the system to generate corresponding control instructions based on the result of the threshold judgment. The control instructions are transmitted to the electromagnetic reversing valve, a key control component in the hydraulic system, and the electromagnetic reversing valve controls the execution software of the control device to adjust the posture of the sowing depth control device.
