Some detect the shape of piling up of seed grain in the lift through photoelectric sensor and roughly judge seed grain flow variation condition, some estimate seed grain flow through measuring the change in capacitance when seed grain flows through the condenser, some estimate seed grain flow through strain induction system strain change when receiving the impact of seed grain flow and turn into the change condition of signal of telecommunication, some judge seed grain change condition through detecting the interior seed grain of grain bin and estimate.
The seed flow measuring methods are indirect measuring methods. Some methods estimate the change situation of the volume flow of the seeds by the change situations of the accumulation shape, the volume and the like, and convert the change situation into the mass flow through the volume rate; some sensors measure the change conditions of electricity, magnetism, rays and the like caused by the change of the grain flow to estimate the grain flow.

Hoses are respectively connected to branch pipes 215 of the first distributor head 212 and the second distributor head 262, wherein one first hose 214 is communicated to the secondary venturi pipe 27, the other hoses are opened downwards, and seeds directly fall into the harvester grain bin 1. The second-stage dispenser 26 is substantially the same as the first-stage dispenser 21, except that photoelectric counting sensors 263 are mounted on the second hoses 265 connected to the first dispenser head 212 and the second dispenser head 262 at three different orientations, and the number of seeds passing per unit time in the three second hoses 265 is counted. The structure of the secondary venturi 27 is basically the same as that of the primary venturi 29, but the opening of the secondary venturi 27 for receiving the seeds is smaller.
The working principle of the invention is as follows: the air current that fan 25 produced is divided into two routes through tee bend connecting pipe 24, and one route gets into one-level distributor 21 through one-level venturi tube 29, and another route gets into second grade distributor 26 through second grade venturi tube 27, and one-level venturi tube 29 and second grade venturi tube 27 are the three-way pipe, and one-level venturi tube 29 and second grade venturi tube 27 level are placed, and first flared tube 23, second flared tube 28, mouth are the loudspeaker form, are in vertical position, are the entry of seed grain. The first dispenser head 212 is vertically disposed with the first helical bellows 213, the second dispenser head 262, and the second helical bellows 264 together. When the airflow passes through the primary venturi tube 29 and the primary venturi tube 29, the grain entering from the first flared tube 23 and the second flared tube 28 moves towards the first distributor head 212 and the second distributor head 262 respectively, and enters the first spiral corrugated tube 213 and the second spiral corrugated tube 264, the grain and the airflow form a cyclone-like state in the first spiral corrugated tube 213 and the second spiral corrugated tube 264 under the action of the double-line large-pitch spiral protrusions, and rise into the first distributor head 212 and the second distributor head 262 respectively while rotating, so that the grain and the airflow are distributed more uniformly along the circumference, the grain coming out from each branch pipe 215 is evener, and the grain and the airflow impact on the conical surfaces of the first end cover 211 and the second end cover 261 respectively and bounce back into the branch pipes 215 of the first distributor head 212 and the second distributor head 262 respectively.
Due to the combined effect of the above structures, the probability of the grain being distributed to each branch 215 is equal, and statistically, the grain can be considered to be divided into corresponding equal parts. For example, the first distributor head 212 of the primary distributor 21 has a branch pipes 215, wherein the number of grains coming out of one branch pipe 215 can be considered as a fraction a of all grains entering the primary venturi 29. In order to prevent the overall structure from being too large and the fan 25 from being too large, a two-stage distribution is provided. For example, if one of the branch pipes 215 of the first distributor head 212 of the second distributor 26 is connected to the kernel inlet of the second venturi tube 27, the kernel is further divided into equal parts b after the second distribution. The number of seeds detected from one of the second hoses 265 of the secondary distributor 26 is a times b the total number of seeds.
For the combine harvester with larger seed flow, three or more stages of distribution can be arranged. After the grains with high flow rate are equally divided for several times, the number of the grains coming out of one hose is small, and the grains flow out in a single intermittent way under the conveying of the airflow, so that the overlapping probability among the grains is small. Therefore, the number of seeds can be accurately detected by the photoelectric counting sensor 263. In order to further improve the detection accuracy, the three second hoses 265 in different directions are respectively provided with a photoelectric counting sensor 263, and the average value of the three second hoses 265 is taken as the number of grains passing through the second hose 265, so that the influence of different numbers of grains of the hoses on the accuracy of the detection result is further avoided.
The grain flow yield measuring method of the combine harvester is characterized in that: the method comprises the following steps:
step 1, before harvesting operation, weighing thousand seed weight of seeds, inputting the thousand seed weight into a control system, reading measured values of photoelectric counting sensors 263 on three second hoses 265 into the control system, calculating the number of the seeds passing through a single second hose 265 in real time by averaging, and further calculating the total number of the seeds, namely the number of the seeds entering a grain bin 1 of a combine harvester through a grain feeding auger 3 of the harvester bin;
and step 3, after harvesting operation, the grain quality entering the grain bin 1 of the combine harvester in unit time can be converted according to thousand seed weight, two numerical values of harvesting area and grain quality in unit time are provided, and the data of yield in unit area are calculated through a control system.
The air flow generated by the fan 25 is divided into two paths by the three-way connecting pipe 24, one path enters the primary distributor 21 through the primary venturi tube 29, and the other path enters the secondary distributor 26 through the secondary venturi tube 27.
When the airflow passes through the primary venturi tube 29, the airflow carries the kernels to move together towards the primary distributor 21, after entering the first spiral corrugated tube 213, the kernels and the airflow form a cyclone-like state in the first spiral corrugated tube 213 under the action of the double-line large-pitch spiral protrusion, and rise into the first distributor head 212 while rotating, and the kernels and the airflow impact on the conical surface of the first end cover 211 and bounce into the first hoses 214 connected with the first distributor head 212, so that the probability that the first distributor head 212 distributes the kernels to the first hoses 214 is equal.
When the air flow passes through the secondary venturi 27, the grains are carried together to the secondary distributor 26, after entering the second spiral bellows 264, the grains and the air flow form a cyclone-like state in the second spiral bellows 264 under the action of the double-line large-pitch spiral protrusion, and rise into the second distributor head 262 while rotating, the grains and the air flow impact on the conical surface of the second end cover 261 and bounce back into the second hoses 265 connected with the second distributor head 262, so that the probability that the second distributor head 262 distributes the grains to the second hoses 265 is equal.
In the above structure: the invention also comprises a control system, a swath sensor and a harvester advancing speed sensor, wherein the control system is a PLC (programmable logic controller), reads the numerical values of the swath sensor and the harvester advancing speed sensor, and can obtain the swath data and the harvester advancing speed of real-time harvesting, thereby solving the real-time harvesting area of the harvester in unit time. Before harvesting, the thousand seed weight of the seeds is weighed and input into a control system. The measured values of the photoelectric counting sensors 263 on the three second hoses 265 are read into the control system, and the number of seeds passing through a single second hose 265 in real time is calculated by averaging, so that the total number of seeds is calculated, namely the number of seeds entering the grain bin 1 of the combine harvester from the grain feeding auger 3 of the harvester bin. The grain quality entering the granary in unit time can be converted according to the thousand seed weight. With two numerical values of the harvesting area and the grain quality in unit time, the control system can calculate the yield data in unit area. The yield information maps of different positions in the field can be drawn by positioning the position information in real time according to the satellite, and the prescription map reference is provided for the subsequent variable operation.
The grain flow measuring device 2 and the yield measuring method of the combine harvester provided by the invention adopt a method for counting the grain quantity to accurately measure the grain quantity and flow, and can relatively accurately measure the grain mass flow only by measuring the thousand seed weight, thereby calculating the real-time yield of crops. However, the grain flow rate of the combine harvester is large, so that the counting of all the grain quantities harvested in unit time is impractical, and no instrument can be used for realizing the counting. Therefore, the device of the invention has the main effects that the large-flow grains are evenly divided into one part, the number of the grains is small, the small amount of grains can just intermittently and quickly pass through the photoelectric counting sensor under the action of pneumatic auxiliary conveying, the overlapping probability of the grains is very small, so that the total number of the grains harvested in unit time can be obtained by counting the number of the grains through the photoelectric counting sensor 263, and the real-time yield is calculated.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way, but any modifications or equivalent variations made according to the technical spirit of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
