Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent prediction technology for separation quality, and more specifically, to an intelligent prediction system for the threshing and separation quality of soybean combine harvesters. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of modern agricultural intelligence, intelligent prediction technology for the threshing and separating quality of soybean combine harvesters is considered a core means to achieve precise and loss-reducing harvesting. However, the complexity of the field operating environment poses a severe challenge to the reliability of this technology, especially in scenarios involving attitude disturbances caused by drastic terrain changes. When the harvester suddenly enters a deep ditch or crosses a field ridge from a stable driving position, the violent pitching or tilting of the machine body can instantly change the physical field distribution of the threshing system. This dynamic process brings profound physical challenges to existing intelligent prediction methods.
[0003] Threshing drums typically employ a long-shaft structure, and their separation performance highly depends on the uniformity of the axial distribution of the internal material. When the machine tilts, the crop grain mixture inside the drum rapidly accumulates towards the lower end under gravity, causing a momentary reconfiguration of the load distribution. This physical phenomenon directly undermines the lumped parameter assumption commonly used in existing prediction models, which assumes that the material state inside the drum is homogeneous and stable. At the moment of tilting, the higher end, due to material scarcity, faces the risk of excessive impact leading to a surge in breakage, while the lower end suffers from incomplete threshing and entrainment losses due to severe material accumulation. This renders traditional prediction models based on uniform field theory completely ineffective.
[0004] More complicated by the fact that the axial inertial force generated by the violent pitching motion further interferes with the dynamic characteristics of the separation process. This inertial force alters the trajectory of the grains as they sink through the straw layer and into the concave plate. Normal separation, which could have been accomplished by gravity and high-frequency vibration, may be forced back into the straw layer by the inertial impact and discharged through the straw outlet, causing unexpected hidden losses.
[0005] However, the vibration sensors configured in current mainstream prediction systems are mostly designed for high-frequency threshing characteristics, making it difficult to accurately capture and decouple such low-frequency, large-amplitude rigid body motion disturbances. Therefore, in scenarios with abrupt terrain changes, how to overcome the limitations of lumped parameter models and establish an intelligent sensing system capable of simultaneously identifying the coupling effect of attitude disturbances and separation mechanisms has become a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved to improve the adaptive control accuracy of soybean combine harvesters.

[0052] Multi-source sensing units are deployed in the threshing drum area and key locations on the body of the soybean combine harvester to continuously collect dynamic response parameters related to threshing and separation quality during field operations and under changing terrain and attitude conditions; the sensing units include:

For example, an expert weighting method can be used, which involves inviting experts in relevant fields to determine the pre-defined weighting coefficients for each indicator through professional opinion surveys and comprehensive evaluations. , The initial value can be 0.5, 0.5;
[0063] The characteristic vector of the axial load distribution of the drum By jointly mapping the roll angle, pitch angle, and corresponding attitude angular velocity, a load-attitude coupled spatiotemporal description set is formed: ;
[0064] It should be noted that the load attitude coupling spatiotemporal description set not only records the load state of each section of the drum axis at each moment, but also couples the attitude disturbance information caused by terrain changes. Through time synchronization and spatial axial positioning, it establishes an explicit correlation between the dynamic response inside the threshing drum and the attitude change of the whole machine, and retains the spatiotemporal coupling characteristics of the load distribution along the axial direction evolving with attitude changes.
[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the process of extracting the axial non-uniformity coefficient and load peak offset based on the load attitude coupled spatiotemporal description set, and calculating the axial difference factor of threshing intensity in combination with the drum rotation speed is as follows:

[0071] According to the axial non-uniformity coefficient and load peak offset The axial difference factor of threshing intensity was calculated by combining the drum rotation speed. The formula is as follows: ,in This is the axial non-uniformity coefficient. This represents the load peak offset. This refers to the drum rotation speed. The standard rotational speed indicates the reference rotational speed of the drum.
[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the axial difference factor of threshing intensity and the vehicle pitch angular velocity, the interference of inertial force on the grain settling trajectory is constructed. Combining the time-frequency analysis results of the vibration signal, the low-frequency rigid body motion component and the high-frequency threshing characteristic component are decoupled to obtain the inertial threshing coupling disturbance coefficient.
[0073] In tilt and pitch states, the vehicle's movement generates inertial force interference, affecting the material's settling trajectory and threshing effect. Based on the axial difference factor of threshing intensity and the vehicle's pitch angular velocity, the interference of inertial force on the grain settling trajectory is constructed to represent the interference of inertial force caused by the vehicle's movement on the grain settling trajectory. The calculation formula is as follows: ,in This represents the amount of inertial force that interferes with the grain settling trajectory. The axial difference factor of threshing strength. It is the pitch angular velocity;
[0074] It should be noted that the amount of interference of inertial force on the grain settling trajectory It describes the motion displacement of materials due to inertia, reflecting the impact of vehicle body movement on materials;
[0075] In order to effectively distinguish between low-frequency rigid body motion and high-frequency threshing characteristics, the low-frequency and high-frequency components of the vibration signal are decoupled using the time-frequency analysis method of the vibration signal.

The specific separation rules are as follows: ,in Low-frequency components, For high-frequency components, and These represent the frequency range values for low and high frequencies, respectively. The maximum frequency of the vibration acceleration signal;
[0078] It should be noted that the low-frequency components mainly reflect the rigid body motion of the vehicle body, which is mainly caused by the pitch and roll of the vehicle body; while the high-frequency components reflect the threshing characteristics caused by the impact of materials and the rotation of the drum during the threshing process.
[0079] After normalizing the interference of inertial force on the grain settling trajectory, including the low-frequency and high-frequency components, the inertial threshing coupling disturbance coefficient is calculated using the following formula: ,in The inertial de-granulation coupling perturbation coefficient is... , These are the preset weighting coefficients for the interference of inertial force on the grain settling trajectory and the ratio of low-frequency components to high-frequency components, respectively.

For example, an expert weighting method can be used, which involves inviting experts in relevant fields to determine the pre-defined weighting coefficients for each indicator through professional opinion surveys and comprehensive evaluations. , The initial value can be 0.5, 0.5;
[0081] It should also be noted that the inertial threshing coupling disturbance coefficient comprehensively reflects the direct interference of pitch inertial force on grain settling and the coupling effect of the rigid body vibration of the whole machine caused by attitude change on the measurement of the threshing process.
[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, the process of predicting the entrainment loss rate along each axial section of the drum using a time-series prediction model based on the inertial threshing coupling disturbance coefficient and the real-time axial load distribution, and obtaining the predicted value of the entrainment loss rate distribution, is as follows:
[0083] The inertial de-granulation coupling perturbation coefficient With the characteristic vector of the axial load distribution of the drum The input feature matrix is combined into a multidimensional input feature matrix, which is then processed by a pre-trained time-series prediction model. The time-series prediction model internally uses a gating mechanism to capture the temporal dependency between load and disturbance, and outputs predicted entrainment loss rates for each axial segment of the roller at future times. ,in This is the output function of the time series prediction model. For the first Axial position, For the first Predicted entrainment loss rate at each axial position;
[0084] It should be noted that the time series prediction model can use existing recurrent neural network (RNN) or long short-term memory network (LSTM) models. The entrainment loss rate refers to the proportion of threshed grains that failed to pass through the concave sieve and were entrained by straw or debris and discharged through the straw discharge port to the total yield.
[0085] For example, the structure of a time series prediction model is as follows: ,in The mapping function representing the time series prediction model. This is the predicted value for the entrainment loss rate.
[0086] In this embodiment of the invention, the process of calculating a dynamic correction factor based on the deviation between the predicted entrainment loss rate distribution and the actual loss rate measured by the loss sensor at the drum outlet, and then integrating historical operating data to obtain the overall threshing and separation quality comprehensive index, is as follows:
[0087] The difference between the predicted entrainment loss rate and the actual measured value from the loss sensor at the roller exit is calculated to obtain the loss rate deviation value. The calculation formula is as follows: ,in This is the deviation value of the loss rate. For the first Predicted entrainment loss rate at each axial position. This is the measured value at the roller exit point;
[0088] The dynamic correction factor is calculated based on the loss rate deviation value, using the following formula: ,in For dynamic correction factors;

For a moment The obtained dynamic correction factor This is the average of historical operating data. , They are time points The dynamic correction factor and the preset weighting coefficient of the historical operating condition data mean;
[0090] It should be noted that, , The settings should be tailored to the specific circumstances. For example, an expert weighting method can be used, which involves inviting experts in relevant fields to determine the pre-defined weighting coefficients for each indicator through professional opinion surveys and comprehensive evaluations. , The initial value can be 0.5 or 0.5.
[0091] In this embodiment of the invention, the process of comparing the overall threshing and separation quality comprehensive index with a preset separation quality threshold, and calculating the adjustment amount of the threshing drum speed if the threshold is exceeded, and outputting it to the actuator to achieve closed-loop control is as follows:
[0092] The overall threshing and separation quality comprehensive index is compared with a preset separation quality threshold. If the overall threshing and separation quality comprehensive index is greater than the separation quality threshold, it indicates that the separation quality exceeds the limit.
[0093] If the overall threshing and separation quality index is less than or equal to the separation quality threshold, then the separation quality has not exceeded the limit and the current state is maintained.
[0094] If the speed exceeds the limit, the rotation speed of the threshing drum needs to be adjusted. To control energy transfer and material separation efficiency during the threshing process, the formula for calculating the adjustment amount of the threshing drum speed is as follows, based on the difference between the overall threshing and separation quality comprehensive index and the separation quality threshold: ,in This refers to the adjustment amount of the threshing drum speed. The overall threshing and separation quality index. The preset separation quality threshold, This is the speed adjustment coefficient, representing the sensitivity of speed adjustment when the mass exceeds the limit;
[0095] It should be noted that the above The rotational speed adjustment ratio coefficient, calibrated through bench tests and field comparison tests, is used to characterize the sensitivity of drum rotational speed adjustment when the overall threshing and separation quality comprehensive index exceeds the limit.
[0096] To ensure a balance between stability and response speed during system adjustment, the following... The value of must meet the following range requirement: 0.1≤ ≤5.00;
[0097] Preferably, under the operating conditions of a conventional feed rate of 3–6 kg / s and a drum rated speed of 600–900 r / min, the... The value range is: 0.5≤ ≤1.50;
[0098] when When the value is less than 0.1, the speed adjustment response is too slow, which may lead to a persistent state of excessive mass, affecting the separation effect; when... When the value is greater than 5.0, it is easy to cause overshoot in the drum speed adjustment, resulting in system oscillation or a sudden increase in the breakage rate, which is not conducive to stable control.
[0099] This invention addresses the problem of decreased accuracy in traditional threshing and separation quality prediction models caused by abrupt changes in the lateral and pitch attitudes of soybean combine harvesters during operation in complex field terrain. This imbalance in axial material distribution within the drum and increased inertial disturbances lead to a decline in accuracy. The invention constructs a load-attitude coupled spatiotemporal description set, incorporating vehicle attitude parameters, drum operating parameters, and axial vibration characteristics. This dynamically characterizes the axial load changes of the material inside the drum and extracts the threshing intensity axial difference factor and the inertial threshing coupling disturbance coefficient, effectively identifying the coupling effect between attitude disturbances and the threshing and separation process. Combined with a time-series prediction model, the invention predicts the entrainment loss rate in each axial section of the drum and uses measured values from the outlet loss sensor for dynamic correction. Finally, it generates a comprehensive threshing and separation quality index and drives closed-loop adjustment of the drum speed. This enables real-time prediction and adaptive control of threshing and separation quality under complex operating conditions, improving prediction accuracy and control response, reducing entrainment losses and grain breakage rates, and enhancing the operational stability and loss reduction of soybean combine harvesters.
