Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery automation, in particular to a monitoring system and a monitoring method for planter.

BACKGROUND ART

The intellectualization of seeding process has become a hot research topic in the field of agricultural engineering, and the self-adaptive monitoring system for planter has emerged at the right moment. Intelligent seeding is achieved by setting or importing a seeding prescription map. The traditional seeding machine whose seed-metering device is driven by means of chain transmission is susceptible to idling and slipping of the driving wheel in the wet and muddy soil environment, resulting in problems, such as reseeding or miss-seeding. In order to reduce the impact of the driving wheel slipping on the seeding quality during operation of the seeding machine, there is a new trend in the development of planter that electric traction system replaces the chain transmission system with land wheel as the power source. The Chinese patent No. CN201110398048.9 adopted a stepper motor to replace the land-wheel chain transmission system to drive the seed-metering device, which simplifies the mechanical structure. However, it still uses the rotation speed of the land wheel as a single factor to obtain the advance speed of the planter, and it does not eliminate the measurement deviation of the advance speed of the planter which is caused due to the idling or slipping of the land wheel, thus the planter still suffers from the miss-seeding or reseeding problem.

In order to speed up the intellectualization process of the planter, reduce the manual labor, realize informationalized seeding operation and provide data support for the subsequent field management and harvesting work, sensors should be installed at the key positions on a planter. In addition to feedbacking the advance speed of the planter, the sensor also needs to feedback spatial position of the planter, and the seed flow rate in unit distance in real time as important factors to adjust the rotational speed of the seed-metering device. Chinese Patent No. CN201210144176.5 provides an intelligent monitoring method for planter, which lacks a rotational speed monitoring means. As the adjustable-speed motor is controlled by the main control system directly, this method is susceptible to signal interference during operation and cannot eliminate the seeding amount deviation in time, thus causing the error between the actual seeding amount and the theoretical seeding amount.

At present, although the monitoring and control systems of planter are constantly innovating in the world, the actual rotation speed of the seeding shaft in practical application is still based on the adjustment algorithm with fixed parameter, and online optimization function of the control parameters is not involved at all.
