Potato seed-metering monitoring and improved miss-seeding catching-up compensation control system using spatial capacitance sensor

The congenital yield reduction caused by miss-seeding in spoon-type seed-metering device of small and medium-sized potato planter is huge.Based on the physical mechanism of different measured capacitance values between two fixed capacitor plates with different media,a miss-seeding detection scheme based on a spatial capacitance sensor is proposed first.A simple and efficient spatial capacitance sensor that can obtain as large capacitance measurement value as possible is designed,and a dual CPU coordinated seed-monitoring and compensation control system architecture is adopted.AD7745 is selected for the capacitance measure of the spatial capacitance sensor,and the code of grating encoder is also recorded at the same time.Thereby,when each potato spoon passing through the space surrounded by the capacitor plates,the maximum net capacitance fluctuation and its corresponding position can be acquired.A suitable threshold can distinguish between normal-seeding and miss-seeding effectively.Moreover,it should be emphasized that,this monitoring system only requires one monitoring point.Then,based on obtained information,an improved miss-seeding catching-up compensation plan is put forward.By utilizing the powerful memory capability of the CPU,this system does not need to complete compensation immediately after the miss-seeding identification.Instead,the miss-seeding information and the location of the accident can be just marked in advance,and only when the opportunity arrives,can the miss-seeding catching-up compensation be truly executed.In this way,the position of the seed-monitoring points can be free from restriction,and the control strategy can therefore be significantly simplified.The soil tank test data showed that,the identification accuracy of the miss-seeding detection system was not less than 94%.When the seed-metering chain speeds are 0.2,0.3,and 0.4 m/s,the average success rates of the miss-seeding compensation system are 94.32%,83.65%,and 75.00%,respectively.The final miss-seeding rate can be below 3%,and the average deviation compensation rate was not higher than 30%,the miss-seeding was suppressed significantly.This system is a beneficial try in the non-photoelectric detection field and low complexity miss-seeding compensation for potato seeding.

The small size, light weight, irregular shape, and impurities that characterize seed groups increase clogging tendencies in the traditional seed-metering device thereby making it difficult to achieve high-speed precision seeding. A pneumatic seed-metering device with good seed-filling performance for carrot was designed in this study. By analyzing the movement state of seeds in the device under the theoretical condition, it was concluded that the minimum critical negative pressure value of air chamber was 0.32 kPa, which provided a theoretical basis for simulation and testing. ANSYS 17.0 Software was used to simulate the shape of the seeding plate hole. By comparing the pressure, air flow stability between the suction surface and the plug removal surface of the convection field, it was concluded that the conical hole was optimal. A bench verification test was conducted on the device. The average qualified rate, missing rate, and replaying rate were 81.48%, 4.07%, and 14.45%, respectively, which provided a strong reference for the design of carrot precision seed-metering device.

Design and experimental study of the control system for precision seed-metering device

The precision seeding technique has been developed at full speed along with the continuous development of new agricultural technologies,especially those concerning cultivated patterns.The seed-metering device is the key component of a precision seeder.A ground wheel is used to drive the seed-metering device of the conventional direct seeder.However,the wheel bears high resistance and easily slips.Moreover,the adjustment of the precision seeder’s seeding rate is more difficult.In order to solve these problems,a control system which could keep the rotational speed of the seed-metering device consistent with the seeder’s working speed for the precision seed-metering device was designed.The control system includes a Hall sensor,a single chip microcomputer system,a motor control module,a stepper motor and a display.The control system used a Hall sensor to measure the seeder’s working speed and employed a single chip microcomputer system to predict the rotational speed of seed-metering device.It would then determine the relationship between the seeder’s working speed and the rotational speed of the seed metering-device according to the seeder’s working state,distance between seeds and the requirement of sowing rate.The system could effectively reduce the influence of inhomogeneous sowing caused by the ground wheel’s slipping.The system was found to be reliable by the experiment.The seeding control system could also make the speed of the seed-metering device and seeder’s uniform,improving the uniformity of the amount of seeding,and achieving the goal of design.This new design provides a platform to solve problems of the seed-metering device and the seeder.

Magnetic field distribution simulation and performance experiment of a magnetic seed-metering device based on the combined magnetic system

The magnetic seed-metering method is one of the universal approaches for plug tray seeding.Conventional electromagnetic and permanent-magnetic seed-metering devices either cannot supply a desirable magnitude of magnetic force or need a seed-clearing mechanism.Thus the objective of this research was to develop a combined magnetic system(CMS)seed-metering device for generating higher magnetic forces than the electromagnetic ones without using any auxiliary seed-clearing mechanisms.Firstly,the CMS component was designed and its magnetic field distributions in both attractive and clearing states were obtained by finite element method simulations.Secondly,based on the CMS components,a magnetic seed-metering device was developed and validated by a prototype experiment.The simulation results displayed that along the axial direction of the magnetic head,the maximum magnetic flux density in the clearing state was 21.03%of that in the attractive state.In addition,along the radial direction,the proportion was 24.16%.Concerning the spatial magnetic flux density distribution,the magnetic flux density on the seeding planes of CMS components(approximately 60 mT)was higher than that of transitional space between two CMS components(nearly 0 mT).As for the seeding performance experiment,when the rotational speed of the roller was 21 r/min and the exciting current was 0.15 A,the highest single rate was acquired(90.20%).In the same condition,the reseeding rate was 5.88%and the miss-seeding rate was 3.92%.The results suggest that the magnetic field distribution and seeding performance of the developed magnetic seed-metering device are acceptable.Therefore,the developed magnetic seed-metering device can be used in practical plug tray seeding processes.
