In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The working state monitoring system of the pesticide spraying machine researched in the prior art aims at adopting a water pump-motor spraying device, the driving of the spraying device adopts motor dragging, and the rotating speed is easy to control; in the market, a tractor-transmission shaft model is generally adopted, a tractor PTO is used as the power input of a pump, and the rotating speed is easy to change along with the change of an accelerator; the nozzle blockage sensor used by the monitoring system is essentially a flow sensor, the flow rate of the flow sensor is in direct proportion to the output pulse frequency, and the monitoring system is not universal for a specific pesticide spraying system.
In addition, the detection system detects the blockage of the spraying branch, but not a single spray nozzle, and when the single spray nozzle is blocked, the detection system cannot judge which spray nozzle is blocked or the whole pipeline is blocked, so that the distribution state of spraying operation cannot be visually displayed.
Some detection devices detect the spraying operation state through camera shooting, and the nozzles are detected by the camera to be blocked, and all the nozzles can be completely shot only by erecting a plurality of probes, so that the cost is high; spray nozzle numbers are difficult to distinguish in an algorithm due to spray nozzle fog overlapping; in addition, the outside of the lens needs to be protected to avoid pesticide corrosion; high illumination intensity, high temperature and high humidity and other complex outdoor environments put high requirements on the image processing speed.
Therefore, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a nozzle clogging detection apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the nozzle clogging detection apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: the system comprises a plurality of microwave induction modules, a pressure sensor and an ECU (electronic control unit), wherein the ECU represents a vehicle-mounted pesticide spraying controller, a pesticide spraying pipeline is connected with a plurality of spray heads, and water flows into each spray head from the pesticide spraying pipeline;
the pressure sensor is used for detecting the actual pressure in the pesticide spraying pipeline;
each microwave induction module corresponds to one spray head, for any microwave induction module, any microwave induction module is used for emitting microwaves and receiving the microwaves reflected by fogdrops, microwave frequency shift signals are obtained according to the reflected microwaves and are processed by an operational amplifier circuit to be converted into pulse signals, a single chip microcomputer in any microwave induction module reads the frequency value of the pulse signals and stores the current frequency value in a register, and the fogdrops are sprayed out by the spray heads corresponding to any microwave induction module;
the ECU actively sends a query command, and any one microwave induction module sends the current frequency value to the ECU;
and the ECU is used for actively polling the current frequency values of all the microwave induction modules and judging whether each spray head is blocked or not according to the actual pressure and the current frequency value obtained by each microwave induction module.
In the prior art, during normal spraying, the spraying presents a symmetrical sector or conical surface; when the spray head is blocked, the appearance of the spray head shows fog variation or no fog.
The microwave has the advantages of good detection directivity and low possibility of being interfered by other electromagnetic waves, and the embodiment of the invention adopts the microwave to detect the spraying sector and detects the blocking state of the spray head by utilizing the Doppler effect generated by the echo reflected by the fogdrop.
When the microwave is emitted to detect the sprayed surface, a part of the microwave is reflected. The frequency of the reflected microwaves changes due to the relative motion between the droplets and the microwaves. When the spray head is blocked, the spray fog shape changes, the particle size and the number of fog drops change, the relative speed of the fog drops also changes, and the microwave generates Doppler effect, so that the induction module outputs induction signals to change.
On the basis of the principle, the embodiment of the invention provides a spray head detection device, which comprises a plurality of microwave induction modules, a pressure sensor and a control module, wherein the connection relationship between the spray head and a spray rod is as follows: one spray bar is simultaneously connected with a plurality of spray heads together, and water flows into the spray bar and is sprayed out of the spray heads.

By taking the example that one microwave induction module detects the blockage state of one spray head as an example, the microwave induction module emits microwaves, the emitted microwaves are reflected by the fog drops emitted by the spray head to form reflected microwaves, and according to the reflected microwaves, because of the Doppler effect, the frequency and amplitude of the microwave receiving antenna are changed compared with those of the transmitted microwave, and after the reflected microwave is received, because the intensity of the signal is weak, a series of processing needs to be carried out on the reflected microwave to obtain a microwave frequency shift signal, and finally the microwave frequency shift signal is converted into a pulse signal which can be identified by a singlechip, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a pulse signal in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, a single chip reads a frequency value of the pulse signal, the frequency value is the current frequency value, and when the ECU sends out an inquiry command, the frequency value of the pulse signal is sent to the ECU through the CAN bus.
The ECU judges the blockage state of the spray head according to the actual pressure detected by the pressure sensor and the current frequency value detected by the microwave sensing module, specifically, whether the pressure in the spray rod is normal or not is judged according to the actual pressure, if the pressure in the spray rod is abnormal, for example, the pressure is low, no fog drops are sprayed out of the spray head, and the result detected according to the microwaves is that the spray head is blocked, so that misjudgment is caused.
It should be noted that the ECU represents a vehicle-mounted pesticide spraying controller, which can be regarded as a control module for controlling the whole detection device.
