Research on precision seeding monitoring system for cooperative operation of multicast lines
In order to address issues such as miss-seeding and reseeding caused by guide tube clogging,seed box shortages and mechanical failures in the operation of traditional pneumatic seeder,a precision seeding monitoring system was designed and developed to support the cooperative operation of 12 seeding lines.The system comprises of an infrared photoelectric monitoring unit,speed monitoring unit,controller unit,central control instrument unit,and fault alarm unit.Experimental results demonstrate that the designed monitoring system efficiently provides real-time monitoring of the cooperative operation of the 12 seeding lines.It can accurately identify the seeding line number and promptly raise a fault alarm in case of miss-seeding or reseeding events.The alarm success rate reaches 100%,with an average response time of less than 0.5 s.Under normal operating speeds of 4 to 12 km/h,the system achieves an average accuracy of over 98.5%in monitoring the seeding number for crops of different sizes.This holds significant value in improving seeding quality and reducing production costs.
