Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural fertilization equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated intelligent fertilization device suitable for various forms of fertilizer. Background Technology
[0002] In modern agricultural production, the application of various forms of fertilizers, such as solid and liquid fertilizers, has become a routine practice to meet the nutrient requirements of different crops at various growth stages and to adapt to the actual soil fertility. However, existing fertilization methods and equipment have many problems, making it difficult to achieve efficient and precise fertilization goals. Specifically, these problems are as follows:
[0003] Firstly, traditional fertilization equipment has a single function and is mostly designed for single-form fertilizers. If solid and liquid fertilizers need to be applied simultaneously, multiple devices need to be equipped and operated separately, which not only increases manpower and operating time, but also makes the fertilization process cumbersome and inefficient, making it difficult to adapt to the pace of large-scale agricultural production.
[0004] Secondly, the precision of fertilization is insufficient. Existing equipment generally lacks the ability to precisely control the amount and scope of fertilizer application, often resulting in fertilizer waste due to over-fertilization. At the same time, excessive nutrients enter water bodies through soil infiltration and surface runoff, causing environmental problems such as soil compaction and eutrophication of water bodies. On the other hand, insufficient application cannot meet the needs of crop growth, directly affecting yield and quality.
[0005] Third, liquid fertilizer processing has its shortcomings. During storage, liquid fertilizers are prone to sedimentation and stratification due to their composition, resulting in uneven fertilizer concentration and significant differences in crop absorption after application, thus affecting the overall fertilization quality. Furthermore, in the spraying process, the nozzle angle and spraying range of traditional devices are fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust according to actual conditions such as crop plant type and planting density, thus making it difficult to achieve targeted and precise spraying.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an integrated intelligent fertilization device suitable for various forms of fertilizer to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0057] Example 2
[0058] Please refer to the following: Figure 10 As shown, based on Embodiment 1 of this application, an integrated intelligent fertilization device suitable for various forms of fertilizer is provided. Embodiment 2 of this application proposes another integrated intelligent fertilization device suitable for various forms of fertilizer. Embodiment 2 is merely a preferred embodiment of Embodiment 1, and the implementation of Embodiment 2 will not affect the individual implementation of Embodiment 1.
[0059] Specifically, the difference between Embodiment 2 of this application and the integrated intelligent fertilization device suitable for various forms of fertilizer is that:
[0060] The intelligent control system is electrically connected to the control panel 3, the mobile power supply 5, and each feeding mechanism and mixing mechanism. After receiving and analyzing sensor signals, it outputs control commands to realize intelligent regulation of solid fertilizer application, liquid fertilizer spraying and fertilizer burial. It dynamically adjusts fertilization parameters based on soil conditions, fertilizer form and crop needs.
[0061] The intelligent control system includes a sensing unit, a data processing unit, a judgment unit, an adjustment unit, and a drive control unit;
[0062] The sensing unit is used to receive sensing information from a preset sensor group; the sensor group includes a material level sensor, a soil sensor, a flow sensor and an angle / depth sensor. The sensing information includes fertilizer balance, soil parameters, fertilizer delivery flow rate, spraying angle of the atomizing nozzle 21 and penetration depth of the plow body 31. The soil parameters include nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in the soil, as well as soil moisture and pH value.
[0063] The data processing unit includes a preprocessing unit and a feature extraction unit. The preprocessing unit is used to receive and preprocess sensor information. Preprocessing includes data classification and storage, outlier filtering, data standardization, and data integration. The data classification and storage classifies the received sensor information by type, records the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in the soil, as well as soil moisture and pH value, as soil condition parameters, the particle size and moisture content of solid fertilizers and the concentration and viscosity of liquid fertilizers as fertilizer form parameters, and the crop variety, growth stage, plant height, and leaf area index as crop requirement parameters.
[0064] The feature extraction unit is used to extract features from the preprocessed sensor information to obtain key feature parameters that characterize fertilization requirements; key feature parameters include soil characteristics, fertilizer morphology characteristics, and crop requirement characteristics.
[0065] The feature extraction unit specifically includes a soil extraction unit, a nutrient extraction unit, a crop requirement extraction unit, and a temporal feature fusion unit;
[0066] Soil extraction unit:
[0067] Establish a database of nutrient requirements for crops, including the soil nutrient requirements of several crops at different growth stages;
[0068] The actual types of crops planted in the area to be fertilized and their current growth stage (which can be obtained through the crop recognition module on the device or by manual input) are recorded as the nutrient requirements of the crops.
[0069] Match the crop nutrient requirements with the corresponding soil parameter requirement set from the crop nutrient requirement database;
[0070] Obtain the set of soil condition parameters within the preset device operating time range (specifically, the time range between device startup and the current moment); calculate the difference between each parameter in the soil condition parameter set and the corresponding parameter in the nutrient requirements of the planted crop to obtain the nutrient deviation value; record the nutrient deviation values of all parameters as the soil nutrient deviation set, and record it as the soil feature output;
[0071] Nutrient extraction unit:
[0072] For solid fertilizers, obtain the particle size and moisture content W, and calculate the particle uniformity. (That is, the difference between the largest and smallest particle size in solid fertilizer divided by the average particle size), to determine particle uniformity. Moisture content W is used as a morphological characteristic of solid fertilizers;
[0073] For liquid fertilizers, the concentration of the liquid fertilizer is obtained. and viscosity Calculate the concentration deviation of liquid fertilizer (That is, the difference between the actual concentration of the liquid fertilizer and the standard concentration of the fertilizer suitable for the current crop growth stage), the formula is: Concentration deviation and viscosity As a morphological characteristic of liquid fertilizer;
[0074] Integrate the morphological characteristics of solid or liquid fertilizers to form a fertilizer morphological characteristic output; if it is solid, output... If it is liquid, then output ;
[0075] Crop Demand Extraction Unit:
[0076] Obtain the crop variety, growth stage, plant height, and leaf area index of the area to be fertilized;
[0077] Calculate crop growth state coefficient The formula is ;in, , These are the standard plant height and current plant height for the corresponding growth stage, respectively. , These are the standard leaf area index and the current leaf area index for the corresponding growth stage, respectively; a1 and a2 are the correlation coefficients of plant height and leaf area index, respectively.
[0078] By combining crop variety, growth stage, growth state coefficient, and available soil nutrients, a multi-factor coupled nutrient uptake rate model is constructed, with the following formula: ;in This represents the daily nutrient uptake rate of the crop, and k represents the baseline uptake coefficient fitted in the field trial, which is specifically set according to the crop variety and growth stage. This indicates the amount of available nutrients in the soil that can be directly absorbed by crops. This indicates the soil's nutrient saturation capacity, and T represents the average temperature of the day. , This indicates the basic temperature and suitable temperature for crop growth.
[0079] Crop growth state coefficient and nutrient absorption rate Output as crop demand characteristics;
[0080] The temporal feature fusion unit is used to fuse the extracted features within the preset device runtime area, specifically as follows:
[0081] Set a preset operating time zone for the device, and collect soil characteristics ΔS output by the soil extraction unit and fertilizer form characteristics (solid) output by the fertilizer form extraction unit within that time zone. or liquid (and the crop demand characteristics output by the crop demand extraction unit) Multiple sets of sampled data;
[0082] A sliding window fusion method is used to perform weighted averaging fusion of multiple sets of feature data within a time zone for a preset window duration to obtain the fused soil feature value. Fertilizer morphology characteristics fusion value Crop demand characteristics fusion value ;
[0083] The formula for calculating the soil characteristic fusion value is as follows: The formula for calculating the fusion value of fertilizer morphology characteristics, if it is solid. If it is liquid The formula for calculating the fusion value of crop demand characteristics is as follows: Where i represents the preset window duration number in the preset device runtime area, and m represents the number of preset window durations within the preset device runtime area. , , These represent the weights corresponding to soil characteristics, fertilizer form characteristics, and crop requirement characteristics, respectively.
[0084] The fusion result The key characteristic parameter representing fertilization demand is output to the judgment unit;
[0085] The judgment unit receives key feature parameters output by the feature extraction unit, compares them with preset fertilization adaptation standards, determines the type of fertilization parameter that needs adjustment, and generates an adjustment request signal.
[0086] Pre-set the normal fluctuation ranges for each key characteristic parameter, including the normal range of deviations in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in the soil, the normal range of deviations in soil moisture, the normal range of deviations in pH value, the normal range of uniformity of solid fertilizer particles, the normal range of deviations in concentration and viscosity of liquid fertilizer, the normal range of crop growth state coefficient, and the normal range of nutrient absorption rate.
[0087] Key feature parameters output by the feature extraction unit The key feature parameters output by the feature extraction unit are compared one by one with the preset normal fluctuation range to determine whether each parameter exceeds the normal range.
[0088] Based on the comparison results, determine the fertilization parameters that need to be adjusted:
[0089] If the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in the soil deviates beyond the normal range, the corresponding nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer application rates need to be adjusted.
[0090] If the uniformity of solid fertilizer particles or the viscosity of liquid fertilizer exceeds the normal range, it indicates that the fertilizer delivery speed needs to be adjusted; if the concentration deviation of liquid fertilizer exceeds the normal range, it indicates that the fertilizer concentration ratio needs to be adjusted.
[0091] If the crop growth status coefficient is below the lower limit of the normal range, it indicates that the fertilization frequency needs to be adjusted; if the crop nutrient absorption rate is above the upper limit of the normal range, it indicates that the fertilization depth needs to be adjusted.
[0092] Integrate all marked fertilization parameters that need adjustment, and generate corresponding adjustment signal outputs to the adjustment unit;
[0093] The adjustment unit, based on the adjustment request signal output by the judgment unit and combined with the range of device operating parameters, calculates the specific adjustment value of each fertilization parameter and generates the corresponding compensation instruction:
[0094] For fertilizer application adjustments that need to be made, taking nitrogen fertilizer adjustment as an example, the adjustment should be based on the deviation value of nitrogen content in the soil. Based on the crop's nitrogen nutrient absorption characteristics, the specific amount of fertilizer that needs to be supplemented or reduced is calculated using the following formula: ,in Where h is the soil bulk density and h is the fertilization depth. Use the unit conversion factor; and so on, to obtain the specific values of fertilizer application for each parameter in the soil;
[0095] For fertilizer conveying speed adjustments, the adjustment values for motor speed or water pump flow rate are calculated based on the uniformity of solid fertilizer particles or the viscosity deviation of liquid fertilizer.
[0096] Taking solid fertilizer as an example, based on the particle uniformity deviation of solid fertilizer , This is expressed as the target uniformity; the motor speed adjustment value is calculated. The formula is ,in This is the speed adjustment coefficient. This corresponds to the rotational speed of the second motor 11 in the first feeding mechanism;
[0097] For liquid fertilizers, based on viscosity deviation , Calculate the flow adjustment value for pump 15 to achieve the target viscosity. The formula is ,in For flow adjustment coefficient, This corresponds to the flow rate of water pump 15 in the second feeding mechanism;
[0098] For fertilizer concentration ratios that need adjustment, the deviation value of the liquid fertilizer concentration should be considered. Calculate the amount of water or fertilizer concentrate that needs to be added:
[0099] like >0 indicates the concentration is too high and water needs to be added. ;
[0100] like <0 indicates that the concentration is too low and the required amount of stock solution needs to be added. ;
[0101] in This represents the current volume of the mixed liquid fertilizer. This is the standard concentration.
[0102] For fertilization frequencies that need adjustment, the deviation should be based on the crop growth state coefficient. Calculate the adjustment value for the fertilization interval using the formula: ,in This is the frequency adjustment factor. This is the current fertilization interval;
[0103] For fertilization depths that need adjustment, the deviation in crop nutrient absorption rate should be considered. The adjustment value for the depth of the plow body into the soil was calculated using the following formula: ;in This is the depth adjustment factor. This is the current burial depth;
[0104] The calculated adjustment values of the fertilization parameters are verified, the preset physical operating limit range of the fertilization execution component is identified, and the adjustment values of the fertilization parameters are compared with the current status value of the fertilization execution component and the preset physical operating limit range. If the preset physical operating limit range is exceeded, the limit value allowed by the equipment is selected as the final adjustment value.
[0105] The verified fertilizer parameter adjustment values are integrated into a compensation command and output to the drive control unit.
[0106] The drive control unit receives compensation commands from the adjustment unit, converts them into control signals for the corresponding actuators, and drives the fertilization actuators to adjust parameters. Closed-loop control is achieved through real-time data feedback from the sensing unit. Specifically:
[0107] Receive compensation instructions output by the adjustment unit, and parse the fertilization parameters that need to be adjusted and the corresponding specific adjustment values in the instructions;
[0108] Based on the analysis results, a control signal is sent to the corresponding actuator:
[0109] Based on the analysis results, control signals are sent to the corresponding actuators: for adjustments to fertilizer application rate and delivery speed, signals are sent to relevant motors (such as the second motor 11 and the water pump 15 motor) to adjust the speed or power; for adjustments to concentration ratio, signals are sent to corresponding valves (such as the clear water valve and the original liquid valve) to change the opening degree; for adjustments to fertilizer application frequency, signals are sent to the module controlling the operating time of the control device to modify the working interval; for adjustments to fertilizer application depth, signals are sent to the motor controlling the lifting and lowering of the plow 31 to adjust the rotation angle.
[0110] It receives information from the sensing unit in real time to monitor the operating status of each actuator and the actual values of the adjusted fertilization parameters;
[0111] The actual value of the fertilization parameter is compared with the adjustment target value. If the deviation between the actual value of the fertilization parameter and the adjustment target value is within the preset adjustment allowable range, the adjustment is determined to be complete. If the deviation between the actual value of the fertilization parameter and the adjustment target value exceeds the allowable range, the control signal is sent again for correction until the deviation meets the requirements.
