The invention relates to a
grain storage quantity detection method for horizontal warehouses and shallow silos. The
grain storage quantity detection method comprises the following steps of: firstly selecting specific pressure sensors to lay a grain warehouse
pressure sensor detection network; distributing the pressure sensors along the side wall of the grain warehouse in the mode that all the pressure sensors are evenly-spaced laid at d meter distance from the side wall; and determining whether a grain warehouse is calibrated or not so as to obtain a calibration parameter and a grain warehouse
weight prediction model, spreading the top surface of a grain
pile in the grain warehouse after the grain warehouse is fully filled with the grain, detecting the average output valve of the
pressure sensor at the bottom of the grain warehouse, and detecting the
grain storage quantity of the grain warehouse according to an actually-tested bottom surface area of the grain warehouse, a bottom surface area of the calibrated grain warehouse and calibrated parameters by using a model so as to obtain an estimated value of the weight of the grain warehouse. According to the grain storage quantity detection method provided by the invention, the pressure sensors are required to be arranged on the bottom surface of the grain warehouse, and a compensating item of a side grain warehouse friction action is added into a bottom
surface pressure estimating model in order to avoid using the side
pressure sensor and accurately obtain the estimated value of the pressure of the bottom surface of the grain warehouse, so that the quantity of the sensors is obviously reduced, and the device detection cost and the installation and maintenance cost are reduced.
