Combined with the gear ranges corresponding to different gears, automatic gear shifting can be accurately achieved according to the gear shifting request.

[0024] The solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the following specific embodiments. In this embodiment, in order to deepen the understanding of the automatic gear shifting method of a combine harvester provided by this embodiment, the electronically controlled 1 / 2 gear system involved in this solution is first introduced in this embodiment: See also Figure 2 The above-mentioned electronically controlled 1 / 2 gear system includes the following parts: Electric control handle: used to determine the combine harvester's travel state according to its actual position, which can be forward, backward or stopped; Gear shifting panel: used for user to actually operate input target gear, to realize 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear and neutral gear switching; Gear sensor: can be 5V analog voltage type sensor, used for feeding back real-time position of gear lever; in the scheme, it includes 1 / 2 gear sensor and 3rd gear sensor.

The driver can input the target gear position on the gear shifting panel, and the gear engagement request indicates that the driver wants to switch from the current gear position to the target gear position. The current gear position is different from the target gear position.

[0038] Before performing S1, the combine harvester needs to meet a gear engagement condition, wherein the gear engagement condition can be that the whole vehicle is started and the electric control handle is in a stop position, and the vehicle speed is less than 0.5 km / h.

[0042] If the target gear is N gear, the method further comprises: If the current signal is not in the gear interval corresponding to the target gear within the first set time length, the target gear solenoid valve is closed, the N gear solenoid valve is reconnected, and the new current signal is obtained again through the gear sensor. Step S3 is repeated. If the new current signal is in the gear interval corresponding to the target gear within the first set time length, it is determined that the gear engagement is successful. If the new current signal is not in the gear interval corresponding to the target gear within the first set time length, and the number of times of repeating step S3 is a set number of times (for example, 3 times), it is determined that the gear engagement fails.

At this time, it is defaulted that the position of the gear lever returns to the N gear position. After the target gear solenoid valve and the N gear solenoid valve are connected for a second set time length (for example, 5S), it is determined that the gear is engaged to the target gear.

[0044] Optionally, to prevent the gear sensor from being abnormal during walking, causing the gear to fail, affecting the walking motor displacement of the motor, and reducing the driving experience, the method further comprises: When the electric control handle of the combine harvester is not in the stop position, the combine harvester is controlled to act according to the gear corresponding to the previous walking state of the current walking state, wherein the current walking state is the walking state corresponding to the time when the electric control handle is not in the stop position.

[0045] Optionally, in the scheme of the present application, the vehicle-mounted control unit EEPROM records the gear position each time the gear is changed. If the gear sensor fails after the next power-on, the gear can be displayed and calculated according to the recorded value. After the gear is changed again, it is displayed and calculated according to the actual state.

[0046] Optionally, during the gear engagement process, if there is an abnormality, an alarm prompt information can be generated and displayed on the intelligent display terminal and / or the gear shifting panel.
