Based on this, provide a take spraying apparatus of folding arm module of folding function in this embodiment, can combine unmanned aerial vehicle to spray and the manual work is again that, is applied to the farm environment of complicated topography such as hilly topography, for example, in the orchard environment of hilly topography to solve the manual work and spray inefficiency and unmanned aerial vehicle and spray the problem that the precision is not high.
The technical scheme of the invention is further elaborated by combining the drawings and the specific embodiments in the specification.
Referring to fig. 1 to 6, an embodiment of the present invention provides a foldable arm module 1, where the foldable arm module 1 is disposed on a spraying apparatus for spraying crops in hilly lands, and includes: n arms, wherein the N arms have an extended state and a retracted state;
folding arm module 1 still includes:
the camera module 11 is used for collecting topographic image information of hilly lands within a preset range of the folding arm module 1;
the processing module 12 is connected with the camera module 11 and is used for determining the telescopic state of the folding arm module according to the topographic image information, in the extended state, the joint between two adjacent arms is at a first preset angle not equal to 0, and in the contracted state, the joint between two adjacent arms is at a second preset angle equal to 0;
a driving module 13 is arranged between two adjacent arm levers, and the driving module 13 is connected with the processing module 12 and used for determining a driving state according to the telescopic state; wherein, different drive states correspond to different motion directions and motion speeds of driving adjacent arm levers.
The N arm levers have an extended state, and any two adjacent arm levers in the N arm levers have an extended state; the N arm levers have a contraction state, and any two adjacent arm levers in the N arm levers are in the contraction state.
Referring to fig. 1 again, as an example, the folding rod of the folding arm module 1 has an extended state as shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2 again, the folding bar of the folding arm module 1 has a contracted state as shown in fig. 2.
The camera module 11 here includes a binocular camera or a monocular camera. In practical application, the camera module 11 can be mounted on the arm of the folding module 1, or at the end of the arm; on the one hand, the terrain image information of hilly lands in the preset range of the folding module 1 can be collected, and on the other hand, the terrain image information of crops in the preset range of the folding module 1 can also be collected. It can be understood that the topographic image information can be used for judging the walking state of the spraying equipment provided with the folding arm module 1, whether the spraying equipment needs to go up a slope or not, and the like; and this crops image information can be used for judging whether folding arm module 1 sprays for near crops to can adjust the fold condition between each armed lever of folding arm according to the judged result whether sprays, thereby realize automatic spraying.
The driving module 13 here may include a motor, which includes but is not limited to a permanent magnet dc motor, or a stepping motor and a push rod, etc., and in any case, under the operation of the motor, the motor can drive the two adjacent arms to move, so as to change the angle of the joint between the two adjacent arms, i.e. change the telescopic state between the two adjacent arms.
The processing module 12 may be an upper computer and a lower computer, and the lower computer may be installed in the folding arm module 1 and connected to the camera module 11 and the driving module 13 in the folding arm module 1. The host computer is used for data processing and may be a computer or the like. The lower computer can be used as an instruction issuing transfer station, wherein the upper computer and the lower computer can be in communication connection through 485, network and the like.
For example, the upper computer may be haisi H3519A, and the lower computer may be rassa RA4M 2. The arm rod in the folding arm module 1 can be a gantry structure.
The moving direction and the moving speed are the moving direction and the moving speed of the motor driving the arm lever. And determining the driving state according to the telescopic state and the initial state so as to obtain the movement direction and the movement speed of the motor-driven arm lever. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the speed of movement may be constant, and the direction of movement may be based on a comparison of the initial state with the retracted state. For example, if the initial state of the folding arm set 1 is an extended state, the topographic image information indicates that the folding arm set 1 needs to be in a contracted state, and the movement direction is the direction of the opposite movement between two adjacent arm levers; on the contrary, if the initial state of the folding arm set 1 is the contracted state, the topographic image information indicates that the folding arm set 1 needs to be in the expanded state, and the moving direction is the direction of the back-to-back movement between two adjacent arms. Of course, the direction of movement may be non-directional when the initial state is the same as the final desired telescopic state. Of course, in other embodiments, the movement speed may also be changed intelligently, and may be determined, for example, by topographical image information.
Above-mentioned embodiment, compare prior art, need artifically to spray the crops in hilly areas, perhaps utilize unmanned aerial vehicle to spray, owing to adopted the folding arm module that can stretch out and draw back automatically to consider the blade back of the crops that unmanned aerial vehicle can't spray, also can reduce the manual work simultaneously and spray that the arouse and spray inefficiency, spray risks such as poisoning. Therefore, the folding arm module arranged on the spraying equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention can ensure the spraying accuracy while ensuring the spraying efficiency, thereby realizing the safe and efficient spraying of crops in hilly lands.
In some embodiments, the processing module 12 is further configured to:
determining whether the spraying equipment needs to travel to the next hilly area or not according to the terrain image information;
determining that the telescopic state of the folding arm module is a retracted state in response to the spray apparatus walking to a next hill zone.
It should be noted that, in the hilly area scene, since each hilly area rises according to the steps, the spraying device sprays along each hilly area. When climbing to another hilly area in a hilly area, if the folding arm module is in an extension state, the folding arm module is easily damaged. Based on the above, the telescopic state of the folding arm module can be adjusted to be the contracted state under the condition that whether the spraying equipment needs to walk to the next hilly area or not is determined according to the terrain image information.
So, in this embodiment, through determining whether spraying apparatus need walk to the next hilly area under the condition, can determine the flexible state of folding arm module and be the shrink state to let folding arm module can accomplish to walk to next hilly area under the shrink state, thereby can reduce the problem that the folding arm module that spraying apparatus walking in-process leads to because the topography is complicated damages easily.
Illustratively, the determining whether the spraying device needs to travel to the next hilly area according to the terrain image information includes: determining whether the spraying equipment walks to the end part of the current hilly zone according to the terrain image information; if the end of the hilly band is reached, it is determined that the spraying device needs to be walked to the next hilly band.
Illustratively, determining whether the spraying device walks to the end of the current hilly zone according to the terrain image information comprises: determining gray information in the topographic image information according to the topographic image information; if the gray information indicates that an area with gray variation larger than a variation threshold exists; and if the area with the gray level change larger than the change threshold value is determined to be the end part of the hilly area according to the deep learning model, determining that the spraying equipment walks to the end part of the current hilly area. So, can discern intelligently whether need contract the armed lever of folding arm module to reduce the damage of spraying apparatus walking in-process to the armed lever.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5 again, each of the N arm levers includes two ends;
the first end of the 1 st arm rod is fixedly arranged, the second end of the 1 st arm rod is rotatably connected with the first end of the 2 nd arm rod, and so on, and the second end of the (N-1) th arm rod is rotatably connected with the first end of the (N) th arm rod, wherein N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. So, can all shrink each armed lever, reduce because spraying equipment walking in-process, especially the climbing downhill path in hilly area in-process, crops to the damage of hitting of the not collapsible armed lever.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 1 again, the driving module 1 further includes:
the signal sensor is arranged at the connection position where the second end of the (N-1) th arm lever is rotatably connected with the first end of the (N-1) th arm lever and is used for converting the telescopic state into a numerical signal capable of representing the sub-telescopic state of the (N-1) th arm lever and the (N-1) th arm lever; and determining the driving state according to the numerical value information.
Illustratively, the signal sensor may be a metal proximity switch. When metal approaches, high level is output and is represented by a numerical signal 1, otherwise, low level is output and is represented by a numerical signal 0. Illustratively, if contraction is desired, it may be represented by 0, and if expansion is desired, it may be represented by 1.
The sub-telescopic state refers to the telescopic state of the (N-1) th arm lever and the (N) th arm lever.
Therefore, the telescopic state is converted into the numerical value signal, so that the signal is simplified, reading is facilitated, and corresponding telescopic operation and the like are executed based on the numerical value signal.
In other embodiments, the processing module 12 further includes: determining signal generation time sequence information of the N signal sensors according to the stretching state; according to the time sequence information, sending a control signal to the signal sensor corresponding to the time sequence information;
the signal sensor is further used for responding to the received control signal and converting the telescopic state into a numerical value signal capable of representing the sub-telescopic states of the (N-1) th arm rod and the (N) th arm rod.
Here, the signal generation timing information of the N signal sensors means that each signal sensor has its own priority. For example, referring to fig. 1 to 5, the priority of the third signal sensor 133 is higher than that of the second signal sensor 132, and is higher than that of the first signal sensor 131. In this way, according to the priorities of the N signal sensors, the signal generation timing information of the N signal sensors can be determined, so that the respective arm levers of the folding arm module 1 can be sequentially extended or contracted. Of course, in some embodiments, the priority of the signal sensor may be determined according to the captured topographic image information, for example, in some cases, the priority of the second signal sensor 132 may be higher than that of the third signal sensor 133.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 1 again, as shown in fig. 1, the N arm levers are four arm levers;
the driving module 13 is further configured to compare a first quantity of a first numerical signal used for representing the stretching state in the N numerical signals with a second quantity of a second numerical signal in the stretching state in the initial state; in response to the first number being greater than the second number, determining the driving state as driving the N arms to extend; and/or, in response to the first number being less than the second number, determining the driving state as driving the N arm levers to contract; and/or, in response to the first number being equal to the second number, determining the driving state as a stopped driving state.
In practical application, comparing the number of the sensors of the extension group needing to be extended with the number of the sensors in the initial state which are in the extension state, and if A is larger than B, confirming that the folding arm of the spraying machine needs to be extended; if A is less than B, the folding arm of the spraying machine is determined to need to be contracted; if A is B, confirming that the folding arm of the spraying machine does not need to act; when the folding arm of the spraying machine needs to be extended, according to the priority of the extension group sensors, if the extension group sensors need to reach the state that the state with low priority is the extension state, and the state with high priority is not the extension state, the operation is not executed, and the abnormal feedback is given to the upper computer. If the stretching group sensor needs to reach a normal state, determining whether the actual state with high priority in the stretching group sensor is shrinkage or not and the actual state with low priority is expansion, if the actual state is not the shrinkage, feeding back an abnormality to the upper computer, otherwise, normally stretching; when the folding arm of the spraying machine needs to be contracted, according to the priority of the contraction group sensor, if the contraction group sensor needs to reach the state that the state with low priority is the contraction state, and the state with high priority is not the contraction state, the contraction group sensor is not executed, and the abnormal feedback is given to the upper computer. If the shrinkage group sensor needs to reach a normal state, whether the actual state with high priority in the shrinkage group sensor is stretching or not is confirmed, and the actual state with low priority is shrinkage or not is confirmed, if the actual state is not stretching, the abnormal state is fed back to the upper computer, and if the actual state is not stretching, the normal shrinkage is realized.
