Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for detecting the seed-taking position of a seed-seeding device triggered by a ring electrode and a carbon brush, belonging to the field of intelligent monitoring of seed-seeding devices. Background Technology

[0002] The key to precision seeding technology is accurate sowing of single seeds in a single hole. Currently, there are the following problems when detecting the seed-taking status of a single seed-taking device: when the seed-taking disc picks up a single seed, an effective change signal is generated due to the presence of the seed; when the seed-taking disc does not pick up a single seed, no effective change signal is detected due to the lack of a seed as a detection medium. Furthermore, the "empty seed" state when no seed is picked up by the suction hole has the same detection logic as when no seed is picked up between two adjacent suction holes, making it impossible to effectively distinguish between successful seed picking and empty seed states. This restricts the development of the seed-taking position status detection industry in precision seeding technology. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention proposes a method for detecting the seed-taking position of a seed-taking device triggered by a ring electrode and a carbon brush, aiming to solve the industry bottleneck problem that existing technologies cannot effectively detect the seed-taking position of air-suction seed-taking devices.

[0004] This invention relates to a method for detecting the seed-taking position of a seeder by synchronizing the position of a ring electrode and triggering with a carbon brush. The method mainly comprises a ring electrode and a triggering carbon brush. Its key features are: the ring electrode is fixedly installed on the main shaft of the seeder and rotates synchronously with it; the ring electrode has a protruding part in the horizontal direction that corresponds to the position of the seed suction hole on the seeder's seed-taking disc; the carbon brushes are arranged in a double row, horizontally side-by-side, installed on the outer end cover of the seeder; the connection is as follows: the inner carbon brush maintains contact with the circumferential surface of the ring electrode, and the outer carbon brush maintains contact with the horizontally protruding part of the ring electrode; the inner carbon brush is connected to a 5V low-voltage DC power supply, and the outer carbon brush is connected to the input port of the detection system; its working logic... The key feature is that when the seeder rotates, it drives the annular electrode to rotate synchronously. When the horizontally protruding part of the annular electrode rotates to the position where the outer and inner carbon brushes simultaneously contact each other, an electrical conduction circuit is formed between the inner and outer trigger carbon brushes. The outer carbon brush changes from a low level to a 5V high level, generating a rising edge trigger signal. The system starts the seed-taking position detection function every time it receives the rising edge signal. This method can detect the seed-taking status of the seeder at a specified position, effectively shielding the problem that the detection logic between two adjacent suction holes of the seed-taking plate is the same and cannot be effectively distinguished due to empty seeds and seed trays. At the same time, the physical position trigger mechanism is used to achieve adaptive detection of the seeder at different operating speeds.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the ring electrode position synchronization and carbon brush triggering mechanism adopted in this invention can adapt to different operating speeds of the seeder. Traditional detection cannot distinguish between empty seeds and structural intervals between adjacent seed collection positions, both of which exhibit the same detection logic. This ring electrode corresponds to the seed collection hole position synchronization of the seed collection disc, and the triggering method adopts electrical conduction triggering. Detection is only performed at the determined seed collection position, shielding the detection positions between adjacent suction holes. This synchronization triggering mechanism can adapt to different operating speeds of the seeder without the need for speed compensation, and can provide a reliable technical means for seed collection position detection of the seeder.

Detailed Implementation

[0011] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structural principles and implementation schemes of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0012] This invention relates to a method for detecting the seed-taking position of a seed-seeder triggered by a ring electrode and carbon brush. Its structure mainly consists of 1-a ring electrode, 2-a horizontally protruding part of the ring electrode, 3-an outer carbon brush, 4-an inner carbon brush, and 10-a carbon brush fixing bracket. Its working characteristics are as follows: 1-the ring electrode is fixedly installed on 15-the seed-seeder main shaft and rotates synchronously with it; 2-the horizontally protruding part of the ring electrode corresponds to 6-the position of the seed-taking plate suction hole of the seed-seeder; 3-the outer carbon brush and 4-the inner carbon brush are horizontally mounted side-by-side on 8-the outer end cap of the seed-seeder using the 10-carbon brush fixing bracket; the connection relationship is as follows: 4-the inner carbon brush maintains contact with the inner circumferential surface of 1-the ring electrode; 3-the outer carbon brush maintains contact with the horizontally protruding part of 2-the ring electrode; 4-the inner carbon brush is connected to a 5V low-voltage DC power supply; and 3-the outer carbon brush is connected to the input port of the detection system.

[0013] The working process of this invention is as follows: When the seeder rotates, it drives the 1-ring electrode to rotate synchronously. When the horizontal protrusion of the 2-ring electrode rotates to the position where the 3-outer carbon brush and the 4-inner carbon brush are in contact at the same time, an electrical conduction circuit is formed between the 4-inner trigger carbon brush and the 3-outer trigger carbon brush. The 3-outer carbon brush changes from a low level to a 5V high level, generating a rising edge trigger signal. The system starts the seed position detection function every time it receives the rising edge signal, realizing the detection of the seed position of the seeder. This effectively shields the problem that the detection logic between two adjacent suction holes of the seed tray is the same and cannot be effectively distinguished when there are empty seeds. At the same time, the physical position trigger mechanism is used to realize adaptive detection under different operating speeds of the seeder, which can improve the detection accuracy and reliability.
