The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the implementation regulations.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a tractor electric drive intelligent control system based on energy recovery includes:

[0059] Electric drive module, used to drive the tractor to travel and work with electricity;

[0060] Intelligent control module, which collects information about the tractor's operating conditions and working environment, and plans driving strategies and energy distribution;

[0061] System integration module, used to integrate the power system and agricultural implement control, and to distribute and reuse energy across modules.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the excess kinetic energy is generated when the tractor brakes and goes downhill; the initial excess kinetic energy is configured as E0, and the actual recoverable energy is E r , the tractor's speed during braking or downhill is v, and the speed threshold is v0, where the speed threshold v0 is the lowest speed at which effective energy recovery can be achieved by performing multiple braking and downhill tests on the tractor at different speeds; if v>v0, then E r =k1×E0, if v≤v0, then E r =k2×E0, where k1 and k2 are energy recovery coefficients, and 0<k1<1, 0<k2<1, k1>k2; the current remaining capacity of the energy storage device is configured as C r ; when E r ≤C r When all E r Storage; when E r >C r When storing C r The size of energy.

[0063] Specifically, accurate judgment of the timing of energy recovery is the key to improving recovery efficiency. The best time for energy recovery is determined by real-time monitoring of the tractor's operating status. By continuously collecting data such as speed and acceleration, it is determined whether the tractor is in a braking or downhill state. Dynamic optimization of the speed threshold is a guarantee for adapting to different operating scenarios. The optimization of the speed threshold uses an algorithm based on big data analysis. A large amount of tractor operating data under different operating conditions is sorted and analyzed, and the speed threshold is adjusted according to different operating road surfaces, load conditions and other factors. The performance evaluation of the energy recovery device is a prerequisite for ensuring effective energy storage. The performance evaluation of the energy recovery device uses a multi-dimensional testing method, which tests from multiple dimensions such as energy conversion efficiency and storage stability. At the same time, a reliability evaluation algorithm is used to process the test data to determine the reliability of the device and ensure stable operation of the energy recovery and storage links.

[0064] It can be understood that accurately defining the timing of energy recovery enables the energy recovery module to more efficiently collect excess kinetic energy during braking and downhill; the precise speed threshold determination method enhances the adaptability and stability of the system; the setting of the energy recovery coefficient under different conditions can optimize the energy recovery efficiency according to actual working conditions; the energy storage rules based on the remaining capacity of the storage device ensure the rationality and safety of energy storage, and overall improve the energy management capabilities and practicality of the system.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the load of the tractor is configured to be L, and the load threshold is L0, wherein the load threshold L0 is determined by comprehensively considering the power of the tractor power system, the carrying capacity of the transmission system, and the working efficiency of the energy recovery device, conducting multiple groups of tests under different loads, and analyzing the energy recovery effect to determine the maximum load that can enable the energy recovery system to work stably and efficiently; when v>v0, if L>L0, then k1=a1×v+b1×L+c1, if L≤L0, then k1=a2×v+b2×L+c2; when v≤v0, if L>L0, then k2=a3×v+b3×L+c3, if L≤L0, then k2=a4×v+b4×L+c4, wherein 0<a i ,b i ,c i <1 (i=1,2,3,4); the temperature of the energy storage device is configured as T, the temperature threshold is T0, and the actual stored energy is E s , wherein the temperature threshold T0 is determined by performing charge and discharge tests on the energy storage device under different temperature environments, monitoring the performance degradation and safety indicators of the device, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the device; when T>T0, E s =E r ×(1-d×(T-T0)), where d is the temperature influence coefficient and 0<d<1.

[0066] Specifically, precise calibration of the load threshold is crucial for ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the energy recovery system. This calibration utilizes a method that simulates diverse operating scenarios, simulating various load conditions in both laboratory and field environments. A multivariate regression analysis algorithm integrates multiple variables, including tractor powertrain power, transmission load capacity, and energy recovery device efficiency, to determine the optimal load threshold. Dynamic adjustment of the temperature threshold is crucial for ensuring the long-term stable operation of the energy storage device. This adjustment utilizes environmental simulation experiments, testing the energy storage device in diverse seasonal and regional temperature environments. An adaptive control algorithm also utilizes real-time operating data and performance feedback to automatically adjust the temperature threshold, ensuring the device consistently operates within a safe and stable temperature range. Optimizing the energy recovery coefficient is crucial for improving energy recovery effectiveness. This determination utilizes a multi-factor cross-testing approach, combining multiple factors, including tractor speed, load, and energy storage device temperature. A machine learning algorithm analyzes and analyzes extensive test data to optimize the energy recovery coefficient and enhance its accuracy and efficiency.

[0067] It's clear that by precisely determining the load threshold, the system optimizes energy recovery based on the tractor's actual load and the performance of the energy recovery device, avoiding overload or inefficient recovery. Clearly defining temperature thresholds and corresponding strategies ensures stable operation of the energy storage device at optimal temperatures, minimizing performance degradation and potential safety hazards. The detailed breakdown of energy recovery coefficients under varying load and temperature conditions improves energy recovery accuracy, enhances the overall system's energy efficiency, and ensures stable and efficient tractor operation under complex operating conditions.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the basic energy required to drive the tractor is configured as E d1 The energy required to drive the agricultural implement is E d2 , the total driving energy requirement is E d , and E d =E d1 +E d2 For the electric drive module, when E s ≥E d When using E s Drive; when E s <E dThe insufficient part is obtained from other energy sources; the friction coefficient of the road surface on which the tractor is traveling is configured to be μ, and the friction coefficient threshold is μ0, wherein the friction coefficient threshold μ0 is determined by measuring the friction coefficient of various typical farmlands and working roads, combining the tractor's drive wheel structure and power transmission characteristics, and analyzing the tractor's driving stability and energy consumption under different friction coefficients to ensure the tractor's normal driving and reasonable energy consumption. When μ>μ0, E d1 =e1×μ+f1; when μ≤μ0, E d1 =e2×μ+f2; where 0<e1, e2<1, f1 and f2 are positive numbers determined according to actual energy demand; the operating intensity of the agricultural implement is configured as I, and the operating intensity threshold is I0, where the operating intensity threshold I0 is determined by testing and evaluating the power consumption, wear and operation quality of the agricultural implement under different operating intensities, combined with the power output capacity of the tractor, to achieve the minimum operating intensity that enables the agricultural implement to operate efficiently and does not exceed the tractor's power load; when I>I0, E d2 =g1×I+h1; when I≤I0, E d2 =g2×I+h2; where 0<g1, g2<1, h1 and h2 are positive numbers determined according to actual energy demand.

[0069] Specifically, accurate assessment of driving energy demand is key to ensuring efficient tractor operation. A working condition simulation test method was used to assess the energy required to drive the tractor and implements. Various driving conditions and implement operation scenarios were simulated in the laboratory, and energy consumption under different conditions was recorded. A cluster analysis algorithm was also used to classify similar operating conditions to determine the energy demand range under each condition. Dynamic determination of the friction coefficient threshold is crucial for ensuring tractor driving safety and reasonable energy consumption. This determination utilizes a combination of field measurements and data analysis. Field friction coefficient measurements were conducted on a variety of typical farmland and working road surfaces, collecting data from different seasons and weather conditions. A data fitting algorithm was used to fit the relationship curve between the friction coefficient, driving stability, and energy consumption based on the measured data, thereby determining an appropriate friction coefficient threshold. Optimizing the setting of the operating intensity threshold is the key to ensuring efficient operation of agricultural implements without exceeding the tractor's power load. This setting utilizes operating process monitoring and performance evaluation methods, monitoring the power consumption, wear, and operating quality of agricultural implements during operation. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to comprehensively consider factors such as the tractor's power output capacity, agricultural implement design parameters, and operating standards to determine the operating intensity threshold for different agricultural implements, making energy distribution more scientific and reasonable.

[0070] It is understandable that key elements in the system, such as driving energy requirements, road friction coefficient, and operating intensity thresholds, must be clearly defined to accurately define the energy requirements for tractor travel and implement operation, ensuring proper energy allocation. By determining the friction coefficient threshold, the tractor can be both stable and energy-efficient when operating on various road surfaces. Clarifying the operating intensity threshold allows for efficient implement operation without exceeding the tractor's power load, improving operational efficiency and avoiding equipment damage. This comprehensively enhances the system's adaptability and energy efficiency in different operating scenarios, ultimately achieving optimized operation of the tractor's electric drive system.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the tractor's driving acceleration is configured as a, and the acceleration threshold is a0, wherein the acceleration threshold a0 is determined by conducting acceleration performance tests on the tractor under different road conditions and load conditions, combining the driver's operating comfort and the vehicle's mechanical structure bearing capacity, and analyzing the power requirements and component stress conditions under different accelerations to ensure the maximum acceleration of the tractor that can ensure safe and comfortable acceleration; when μ>μ0, if a>a0, then If a≤a0, then Among them, 0<e3,e4<1, f3, f4, and is a positive number determined according to actual energy demand; when μ≤μ0, if a>a0, then If a≤a0, then Among them, 0<e5,e6<1, f5, f6, and is a positive number determined according to the actual energy demand; the duration of the agricultural implement operation is set to t, and the duration threshold is t0, where the duration threshold t0 is determined by testing the continuous operation performance of the agricultural implement, monitoring its temperature, wear and performance changes under different operation times, and combining the operation efficiency and maintenance cycle to determine the longest continuous operation time that can keep the agricultural implement in good working condition; when I>I0, if t>t0, then E d2 =g3×I+h3×t+m1; if t≤t0, then E d2 =g4×I+h4×t+m2, where 0<g3, g4<1, h3, h4, m1 and m2 are positive numbers determined according to actual energy requirements.

[0072] Specifically, real-time monitoring of the system's operating status is fundamental to ensuring system stability and efficiency. This monitoring utilizes a multi-sensor fusion approach, installing different types of sensors at key locations on the tractor, such as speed sensors, temperature sensors, and power sensors, to collect system operating data in real time. Rapid and accurate fault diagnosis is key to reducing downtime. System fault diagnosis utilizes fault feature extraction and matching methods, extracting fault features from collected operating data. Expert system algorithms are also employed to match the extracted features with pre-set fault patterns to quickly determine the fault type and location. Dynamic adjustment of the control strategy is crucial for adapting to varying operating conditions. This adjustment utilizes operating condition identification and decision-making methods, identifying the current operating condition based on real-time monitoring data. Fuzzy control algorithms are then employed to dynamically adjust the system's control strategy based on the operating condition identification results, ensuring optimal performance under all operating conditions.

[0073] It's understandable that multi-sensor fusion, which monitors the system's operating status in real time, enables timely access to operating information from all system components. Fault diagnosis, using fault feature extraction and matching combined with expert system algorithms, allows for rapid and accurate fault location, reducing downtime for repairs. Dynamic adjustment of control strategies based on operating condition identification and decision-making, coupled with the use of fuzzy control algorithms, enables the system to flexibly adapt to varying operating conditions. These three elements work together to effectively improve the system's operational stability and reliability, ensuring efficient tractor operation in complex operating environments, reducing equipment failure rates, optimizing energy efficiency, and enhancing the practicality and intelligence of the entire control system.

[0075] Specifically, deep integration of the power system and implement control is key to improving operational synergy. This integration utilizes modular design and interface standardization, unifying the design of the power system and implement control modules to ensure smooth data and energy transfer between modules. Optimizing cross-module energy reuse is key to improving energy utilization. This management utilizes energy flow monitoring and dynamic allocation methods, providing real-time monitoring of energy flow between modules. A greedy algorithm prioritizes energy allocation to the modules most in need, while meeting the basic needs of each module, to achieve efficient energy utilization. Ensuring system integration stability is fundamental to maintaining reliable system operation. This is achieved through redundant design and fault-tolerant processing.

A self-healing algorithm automatically repairs minor faults, ensuring stable operation after system integration.

The three work together to significantly enhance the operating efficiency, energy saving effect and reliability of the tractor electric drive intelligent control system, providing better equipment support for agricultural production.
