the processor 5 judges whether the digging depth of the mechanical shovel 11 is greater than or equal to the safe depth;
if yes, the processor 5 outputs a second digging signal to the driving device 6, and the driving device 6 drives the mechanical shovel 11 to dig downwards at a second preset speed, wherein the second preset speed is smaller than the first preset speed.
Specifically, the position of the underground part of the preset crop is only the estimated result of the processor 5, but not the actual position of the underground part, and if the mechanical shovel 11 digs blindly according to the digging depth calculated by the processor 5, the underground part may be damaged, therefore, the present invention optimizes the digging step of the mechanical shovel 11 to reduce the chance of damage to the underground crop, wherein the digging step of the mechanical shovel 11 is subdivided into two steps, the first step is that the processor 5 extracts a safe depth from the digging depth, the safe depth is used to ensure that the underground part is not damaged, in this embodiment, the safe depth is set to 60% of the digging depth, for example, the digging depth is 0.2 m, the safe depth is 0.12 m, the processor 5 controls the mechanical shovel 11 to dig 0.12 m downwards at the first preset speed, the second step is that the processor 5 controls the mechanical shovel 11 to dig 0.08 m downwards at the second preset speed, and in the excavation process, no matter the excavation is carried out in the first step or the second step, once the underground part is found, the excavation is stopped, and if the underground part does not appear after 0.2 m of underground excavation, the mechanical shovel 11 is controlled to continue the underground excavation at the second preset speed.
The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical ideas and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement the present invention, and not to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
