Description

  The present invention relates to an agricultural support system for guiding harvested grain to a dryer installed in a rice center or a country elevator.

Grains such as rice and wheat harvested in the field are transported to processing facilities such as rice centers and country elevators for processing for shipment. A series of treatments in the treatment facility starts with the drying of the grains by a dryer, and various technologies have been developed in the treatment facility for efficient treatment.
In the operation information management apparatus in the grain dryer of patent document 1, the operating condition for drying a grain is transmitted toward the dryer (grain dryer) of a processing equipment from the portable terminal which a user uses. Then, the dryer receives the operating conditions transmitted from the mobile terminal, and dries the grains under the received operating conditions. That is, Patent Document 1 is to dry grain according to a work plan set by a user by transmitting operating conditions from a portable terminal to a dryer.

In addition, a technique has been developed in which the protein content of cereal grains (potatoes) to be harvested for each field is predicted in advance before being placed in a dryer.
The ginger sorting method disclosed in Patent Document 2 is cultivated in each field to be received in a method of setting a threshold and sorting the ginger to be received based on the protein content of the ginger based on the threshold. Nitrogen content of rice is measured by photographing the field from above with a camera installed on the ground, and using the measured value of nitrogen content, the protein content at the time of harvesting the ginger harvested from the rice The rate is calculated for each field. Then, using the calculated protein content, create a distribution ratio of the protein content of the ginger in all the fields to be received, and from the distribution ratio of the protein content before harvesting starts in the fields to be received A threshold is set.

  In the operation information management device in the grain dryer of Patent Document 1, since the operating conditions are transmitted from the user side to the predetermined dryer, if the dryer side can operate under the operating conditions of the user side, the grain is dried. Can be dried. However, if the dryer cannot be operated under the operating conditions (desired operating conditions) transmitted from the user side, it is difficult for the user to grasp the dryer that can operate under the desired operating conditions. Considering both the characteristics of the grains to be included and the operation status of the dryer, it has been difficult to efficiently dry the grains.

  Moreover, the method for sorting ginger disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a method for sorting ginger to be received according to protein content, and the nitrogen content of rice cultivated in each field is set on the ground before harvesting. It is measured using a camera, and the protein content at the time of harvest of ginger harvested from the rice is determined for each field. In addition, the ginger sorting method of Patent Document 2 intends to determine the threshold of the protein content rate for sorting the ginger before the start of receiving the cargo based on the protein content rate for each field.

However, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, although the sorting threshold can be predicted, the concept of performing the processing by associating the sorting threshold with the dryer is not disclosed. Therefore, even if the technique of Patent Document 2 is used, both the characteristics of the grains put into the dryer and the operation status of the dryer are not considered, and it is difficult to efficiently dry the grains. .
Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an agricultural support system that can efficiently promote grain drying by taking into consideration the characteristics of the grains to be put into the dryer and the operation information (operation status) of the dryer. The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures.
The agricultural support system includes a storage unit that associates and stores a field from which a grain is harvested and a grain characteristic of the grain, a classification unit that classifies the grain characteristic into a plurality of grain groups, and a field stored in the storage unit. Among them, field guidance means for guiding a field from which grains having characteristics belonging to the predetermined grain group classified by the classification means are harvested, and operation information acquisition means for acquiring operation information of a dryer that dries the grains And a dryer guide means for guiding a dryer for drying the grain based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition means and the grain group corresponding to the farm field guided by the farm field guide means. Features.

In addition, before drying the grain with the dryer, data collection means for collecting the grain characteristics that are characteristics of the harvested grain, storage means for storing the range of the grain characteristics assigned to the dryer, When the grain characteristics collected by the data collection means or the predetermined grain group in which the grain characteristics collected by the data collection means are classified into groups fall within the range of the grain characteristics stored in the storage means Guide the dryer assigned to the range of properties .

Further, the operation information acquisition means acquires , as the operation information, the cereal grain characteristics indicating the characteristics of the grain when the grains are charged into the dryer, and the dryer guide means Compared with the cereal characteristics, the grain characteristics collected by the data collection means, or the grain group corresponding to the field guided by the field guidance means is within an allowable range, It is characterized by guiding a dryer to be dried.

The classification means classifies the grain characteristics into a plurality of grain groups based on at least one reference value.
The classification means may change the reference value according to a grain characteristic of the grain dried by the dryer.
The classification means sets the reference value based on the association between the field from which the grain is harvested and the grain characteristics by the storage means.

According to the present invention, grain characteristics such as protein content, moisture content, and yield of harvested cereals (eg, cocoons), cereal characteristics that can be received by a dryer, and vines that can be received by a dryer. Based on the operation information such as weight, it is possible to guide a dryer for drying the harvested straw. As a result, the grain characteristics of the straw dried with one dryer can be made uniform. Moreover, since the basket which receives according to the capacity | capacitance which is the weight which a dryer can accept can be selected, the capacity | capacitance of a dryer can be substantially satisfy | filled and the operating efficiency of a dryer can be maintained highly.

In addition, the grain values such as protein content, moisture content and yield of harvested cereal (for example, straw) are associated with the field where the cereal is harvested, and the actual values in the field are shown in a table or map (map), Or it can hold | maintain in the form of a graph. Furthermore, since the grain characteristics can be classified into a plurality of grain groups, it is possible to easily manage the actual values in this field divided into a plurality of grain groups.

  In addition, by using actual values (cereal groups) in the field held in the form of tables, maps (graphs), graphs, etc., the harvested crops were obtained without having to acquire grain characteristics from the harvested straw. You can guide the dryer that dries the straw. According to the present invention, it is possible to satisfy the capacity of the dryer more reliably and to maintain high operation efficiency of the dryer while making the grain characteristics of the straw dried with one dryer almost uniform. .

Moreover, in addition to the actual value in the field such as a table, a map (map), or a graph, the grain characteristics can be acquired from the harvested straw by the data collecting means. Thereby, the dryer can be guided by selectively using the actual value and the grain characteristics acquired by the data collecting means as appropriate. Further, the actual value can be corrected using the grain characteristics acquired by the data collecting means.

In addition, a certain range can be given in advance to the grain characteristics of the grains that can be received by the dryer. Furthermore, by giving a range to the grain characteristics of the grains that the dryer can accept, the range of grain characteristics of the grains that the dryer can accept (the width) and the range of grain characteristics defined by the grain group ( Even when the width) does not completely match, the dryer can be guided appropriately.

Moreover, even if the range of grain characteristics to be accepted is not assigned to the dryer in advance, the grain characteristics within the predetermined range (allowable range) based on the grain characteristics of the grains that are actually stuck (charged) to the dryer On the other hand, it is possible to guide a dryer that receives the grain.
Further, since the grain characteristics can be classified into a plurality of grain groups using at least one reference value, the grain characteristics can be classified into grain groups according to a certain numerical range. This makes it possible to easily manage the actual values in the field by dividing them into a plurality of grain groups.

Moreover, according to the grain characteristics of the koji already stuck in the dryer, it is possible to reclassify the grain group by changing the reference value so that the koji having a desired grain characteristic is stuck in the dryer. .
In addition, since the reference value is set based on the actual value in the field, the grain group can be classified so that the straw having the desired grain characteristics can be put into the dryer before the harvesting of the straw.

Data such as grain information (protein amount, moisture amount, harvest amount) detected by the harvest amount measuring unit 22) is changed to the IEEE802.11 series communication method and output to the outside. That is, the communication device 42 outputs data (signal) received from the outside to the main body side of the combine 2 and transmits data (signal) output from the main body side of the combine 2 to the outside.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the agricultural support system 1 includes a position detection device (position acquisition means) 45 that detects the position of the combine 2 (referred to as a work implement position). The position detection device 45 is configured by a device that is mounted on the combine 2 and detects a work machine position (for example, latitude and longitude) based on a signal from a positioning satellite (for example, a GPS satellite). This position detection device 45 is installed around the driver's seat of the combine 2, for example.

The information may be stored in association with the information.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the agricultural support system 1 includes a communication terminal 7 (referred to as a first communication terminal 7) that can communicate with the outside. The first communication terminal 7 is capable of wireless communication with the input / output unit 42 of the data collection device 5 by Wi-Fi (registered trademark) compliant with, for example, the IEEE 802.11 series which is a communication standard. Various data (grain information, work machine information, etc.) transmitted from 42 are received, and data is transmitted to the input / output unit 42. The first communication terminal 7 can also perform wireless communication with the server 6 through, for example, a data communication network or a mobile phone communication network.

  The first communication terminal 7 is a fixed communication device installed in the combine 2 or a portable communication device that can be carried. In this embodiment, a mobile terminal that is a mobile communication device is employed as the first communication terminal 7. That is, the 1st communication terminal 7 comprised with the portable terminal is a smart phone (multifunctional mobile phone), tablet PC, etc. with comparatively high computing power, for example. The first communication terminal 7 configured by a portable terminal is assigned to an operator who operates the combine 2. In other words, the first communication terminal 7 can be carried and carried by an operator engaged in harvesting work. The first communication terminal 7 will be described by taking a portable communication device (mobile terminal) as an example, but as described above, fixed communication that is fixed to the combine 2 and moves integrally with the combine 2. It may be a device.

  According to the above configuration, since the agricultural support system 1 includes the data collection device 5, when the cereal is harvested by the combine 2, the cereal information (protein amount, water amount, harvest amount) regarding the harvested cereal is collected. ) Can be obtained. In addition, since the agricultural support system 1 includes the position detection device 45, the position of the combine 2 (work machine position) when the grain is harvested by the combine 2 can also be acquired. Furthermore, since the agricultural support system 1 includes the communication terminal (first communication terminal) 7, the grain information (protein amount, moisture amount, harvest amount) obtained at the time of harvesting the grain and the position of the work machine are stored in the combine 2. Workers can get it.

The grain information and work machine position obtained in this way are processed and accumulated by the server 6 or the like, and when the harvested grain is carried on the truck 3 (transport vehicle 3) or conveyed, or the grain is dried by the dryer 4A. It can be used in any agricultural work such as when performing a drying process, when reporting a harvesting operation or a drying operation, or when harvesting grains in the next year.
As shown in FIG. 1, the agricultural support system 1 includes a communication terminal 8 that is assigned to an operator who operates the transport vehicle 3 and can communicate with the outside. In other words, the agricultural support system 1 includes a communication terminal 8 that can be communicated with the outside and is possessed by a worker who is engaged in the transportation work.

The communication terminal (referred to as the second communication terminal) 8 is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone (multifunctional mobile phone) or a tablet PC having a relatively high computing capability, and is, for example, a data communication network or a mobile phone communication network. Wireless communication with a server 6 to be described later can be performed.
The second communication terminal 8 includes a position detection device (position acquisition means) 52 that detects the position of the transport vehicle 3 (referred to as a transport vehicle position). The position detection device 52 detects a position (for example, latitude, longitude) based on a signal from a positioning satellite (for example, GPS satellite), and an operator who operates the transport vehicle 3 carries the second communication terminal 8 with it. When the user gets on the work vehicle 3 or installs the second communication terminal 8 in the transport vehicle 3, the position acquired by the position detection device 52 of the second communication terminal 8 becomes the transport vehicle position. Further, the transport vehicle position acquired by the position detection device 52 is stored in the storage unit 53 of the second communication terminal 8. When the transport vehicle position is stored in the storage unit 53, the time when the transport vehicle position is acquired and the transport vehicle position are stored in the storage unit 53 in association with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the processing facility 4 is connected to a communication network N such as a data communication network or a mobile phone communication network, and through this communication network N, the server 6 and the mobile terminals 7 and 8 are connected. Data can be sent and received. Specifically, the processing facility 4 can output information (operation information of the processing facility 4) during operation of the processing facility 4 to the server 6 and the communication terminals 7 and 8 as data. The operation information of the processing facility 4 is the operation information of each facility (the drying machine 4A, the hulling machine 4B, the stone penetrating machine 4C, the sorting machine 4D, and the weighing machine 4E) that the processing facility 4 has. Is provided with the dryer 4A, the operation information is inserted into the dryer 4A (or inserted) into the amount of grain (charged into the dryer 4A). A) Grain weight), moisture content of the grain charged (or charged) into the dryer 4A, protein content of the grain charged (or charged) into the dryer 4A, drying The drying start time when the drying of the machine 4A is started (or started), the drying end time when the drying is finished (or finished), the operating state indicating whether or not the drying machine 4A is operating, and the like. The operation information of the processing facility 4 may be anything as long as it is information obtained about the operation of the processing facility 4, and is not limited to the information described above.

  By the above-described agricultural support system 1, the data collection device (data collection means) 5 of the combine 2 uses the protein content and the water content as the grain information of the straw that is a characteristic of the harvested grain (also referred to as a grain characteristic). Collect rate and yield (kg or t). At the same time, the position detection device 45 of the combine 2 acquires the position of the combine 2 when harvesting the straw as the work implement position.

Therefore, the input / output unit 42 of the data collection device 5 transmits the collected grain information to the first communication terminal 7, and the position detection device 45 transmits the work machine position acquired simultaneously with the harvesting to the first communication terminal 7. To do. The first communication terminal 7 that has received the grain information and the work machine position transmits the received grain information and the work machine position to the server 6.
When the server 6 receives the grain information and the work machine position from the first communication terminal 7, the associating means 60 configured by a program or the like stored in the server 6 associates the work machine position with the grain information. By this association, a table associating the grain information and the work machine position as shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. The association means 60 of the server 6 uses the table as shown in FIG. 3, data indicating the position of the farm field stored in the server 6 (farm map data), and a table as shown in FIG. The field is identified based on the work machine position, and the identified field identification information and / or work machine position is stored in association with the grain information collected by the data collection device 5.

That is, since the work machine position acquired by the position detection device 45 corresponds to the position of the farm field from which the straw that collected the grain information was harvested, as shown in FIG. The collected grain information can be stored in association with each field. FIG. 4 illustrates grain information collected in each of the fields A to C.
After that, for example, the straw harvested in each of the three fields A to C is collected by the transport vehicle 3. The transport vehicle 3 loads three storage members 10 (10A to 10C), which are containers such as containers for collecting straw, and circulates the farm fields A to C to collect straw.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the transport vehicle 3 loaded with the three containers of the accommodation members 10 </ b> A to 10 </ b> C circulates the farm fields A to C, and receives the receipt member ID (00KB1) as identification information. Harvested harvested in the field A is collected, harvested harvested in the field B is collected in the storage member 10B to which the receiving ID (00KB2) is given, and the field C is stored in the receiving member 10C to which the receiving ID (00KB3) is given. Collect the straw harvested in

When the straw is moved (collected) from the combine 2 (2A to 2C) to the housing member 10 (10A to 10C) in each field, the second communication terminal 8 of the transport vehicle 3 is performing the collection. The transport vehicle position at the time and the receiving ID of the storage member 10 to which the bag is moved are transmitted to the server 6.
As shown in FIG. 6, the association means 60 of the server 6 associates the received consignment ID with the transport vehicle position based on the transport vehicle position transmitted from the second communication terminal 8. FIG. 6 shows that the receipt ID (00KB1) is the transport vehicle position (longitude: 34.1233 degrees, latitude: 136.167884 degrees), and the receipt ID (00KB2) is the transport vehicle position (longitude: 34.5560518 degrees, latitude: 135). .427667 degrees) shows a table in which the consignment ID (00KB3) is associated with the transport vehicle position (longitude: 34.065815 degrees, latitude: 134.965285 degrees).

At this time, the association means 60 has the table shown in FIG. 3, the table shown in FIG. 4, and the table shown in FIG.
Since the association shown in the table of FIG. 6 makes the position of the transport vehicle corresponding to each consignment ID clear, the server 6 compares the work machine position shown in the table of FIG. 3 with the transport vehicle position shown in the table of FIG. . Since the work equipment position very close to the transporter position in FIG. 6 can be found in the table of FIG. 3 by this comparison, the farm field corresponding to the work equipment position in close proximity is changed to the farm field corresponding to the transport vehicle position. to decide.

If the field corresponding to the position of the transport vehicle can be specified, the receiving ID corresponding to the field is determined in FIG. Accordingly, the grain information can be associated with the receipt ID based on the table of FIG. 4, and the grain information shown in the table of FIG. 4 for each of the receipt IDs (00KB1 to 00KB3) as shown in FIG. A table associated with is obtained.
As a result, the associating means 60 of the server 6 can hold the grain information for each field as shown in FIG. 4, and can hold the grain information for each consignment ID as shown in FIG. In the above description, since the straw harvested in one field is collected by one storage member 10, the server 6 can hold grain information for each field and for each receiving ID.

  As described above, in a plurality of farm fields (fields A to C), the harvest 2 is harvested with the combine 2 (2A to 2C), and the harvested straw (the grain) is collected into the plurality of housing members (10A) of the transport vehicle 3. 10C), when the series of work is performed, the server 6 side associates the grain information and the work machine position (table in FIG. 3) and the table associates the field and the grain information (FIG. 3). 4 table), a table in which the consignment ID and the transport vehicle position are associated (table in FIG. 6), and a table in which the consignment ID and the grain information are associated (table in FIG. 7).

The agricultural support system 1 uses the table (information) obtained in this way and the operation information of the dryer 4A so that the grain can be efficiently dried. For example, loading the straw collected in a plurality of storage members (10A to 10C) from a plurality of fields (farm fields A to C) into the dryer 4A so that straws (grains) having different characteristics are not mixed. In addition, it is possible to reliably charge the dryer 4A with an amount of grain that almost satisfies the capacity of the dryer 4A.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the agricultural support system 1 will be described in more detail.
As shown in FIG. 1, the agricultural support system 1 includes an operation information acquisition unit 61 and a dryer guide unit 62 in addition to the data collection device (data collection unit) 5 described above.
As described above, the data collection device 5 collects grain information such as protein amount (protein content), moisture content (water content rate), harvest amount (weight), etc., as the characteristics of cereal grains (cereal properties). To do.

The operation information acquisition unit 61 is a unit that acquires operation information of the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) that dries the straw, and is configured by a program or the like and provided in the server 6.
In the following description, as the operation information of the dryer 4A, for example, the amount of tension stuck to the dryer 4A is used. Moreover, the characteristic (protein content rate) of the grain stuck in dryer 4A is used as operation information of dryer 4A. For convenience of explanation, the characteristics of the grains when they are put into the dryer 4 are referred to as “sticking grain characteristics”. Further, as the operation information, information indicating whether the dryer 4A is operating (whether it is in an operating state) is used.

  The dryer guide means 62 is a means for guiding the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) for drying the harvested straw, and is acquired by the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition means 61 and the data collection device 5. Based on the characteristics of the cereal grains (specifically, the table shown in FIG. 7), the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) in which the rice cake is inserted (pasted) is guided. The dryer guide means 62 is also configured by a program and is provided in the server 6.

With reference to the drawings, the operation of the operation information acquisition means 61 and the dryer guide means 62 for guiding the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) for drying the harvested straw will be described.
The transport vehicle 3 is loaded with three accommodating members 10A to 10C (consignment ID: 00KB1 to 00KB3) in which straws harvested in the fields A to C are accommodated. The transport operator operates the transport vehicle 3 loaded with the storage members 10A to 10C toward the processing facility 4, and carries the baskets stored in the storage members to the dryer 4A.

At that time, the transport operator operates a button or the like provided on the second communication terminal 8 and designates the receipt ID (00KB1 to 00KB3) of the accommodation members 10A to 10C, thereby accommodating the receipt ID corresponding to the receipt ID. Guidance is received from the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) that can receive the bag of the member.
When the transport worker designates part or all of the receipt ID (00KB1 to 00KB3) to the second communication terminal 8, the second communication terminal 8 transmits the designated receipt ID to the server 6.

When the operation information acquisition means 61 of the server 6 receives the consignment ID transmitted from the second communication terminal 8, it requests the operation information of the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) from the processing facility 4.
In response to the request from the operation information acquisition means 61, the processing facility 4 includes, as the operation information, for example, the protein content of the salmon that is accepted (or acceptable) by the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3). The rate is transmitted to the server 6 (operation information acquisition means 61). That is, the protein content, which is the “grown grain characteristic”, which is the grain characteristic of the straw when the straw (grain) is stuck (charged) into the dryer 4, is sent to the server 6 (operation information acquisition means 61). Send.

In response to the request from the operation information acquisition unit 61, the processing facility 4 is loaded (or can be loaded) into the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) as the operation information, for example. Information indicating the weight (t) of the basket and the presence or absence of operation of the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) is transmitted to the server 6 (operation information acquisition means 61).
When the operation information acquisition unit 61 receives the operation information from the processing facility 4, the operation information acquisition unit 61 outputs the received operation information to the dryer guide unit 62.

The dryer guide unit 62 receives the operation information from the operation information acquisition unit 61 and acquires the grain information for each consignment ID shown in FIG.
From the operation information of the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3), the dryer guide means 62 determines the protein content of the straw (4A-1 to 4A-3) loaded in each of the dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) ( Extracted grain characteristics) are extracted, and compared with the acquired grain information of FIG. 7, the receipt ID of the protein content rate that is close to (approximate) the protein content rate of each dryer extracted from the operation information is extracted.

  For example, the protein content, which is the characteristics of the cereal grains extracted from the operation information, is 7.1% for the dryer 4A-1, 7.5% for the dryer 4A-2, and 8.0% for the dryer 4A-3. In the case of the dryer 4A-1 showing 7.1%, the consignment ID (00KB1) showing 7.0% in which the protein content is within the allowable range (for example, within -0.2%). And a consignment ID (00KB2) indicating 6.9% is extracted, and for the dryer 4A-2 indicating 7.5%, a consignment ID (00KB3) indicating that the protein content is within an allowable range is 7.4%. ) Is extracted. It is assumed that there is no receipt ID having a corresponding protein content for the dryer 4A-3 indicating 8.0%.

  These series of treatments prevent, for example, the cereal already stuck in the dryer 4A and the low quality cereal stuck later from being mixed with each other, and as a whole cereal stuck in the dryer 4A. It is intended to prevent degradation of quality (rank). In other words, in the dryer guide means 62, an allowable range (the above-described difference) between the difference between the cereal characteristics of the grains already charged in the dryer 4A and the characteristics of the grains subsequently charged in the dryer 4A. The permissible range is predetermined. For example, as will be described later, the quality (rank) as a whole in the situation where grains having the grain characteristics of “A rank” are already charged in the dryer 4A is “ Grains with grain characteristics that would change to a different rank from “A rank” (for example, lower rank) will not be loaded later, and the allowable range is determined based on such ideas. It has been.

Furthermore, the dryer guide means 62 acquires the yield (weight) of the consignment ID already extracted in the acquired grain information of FIG.
For example, the dryer guide means 62 acquires 0.85 (t) as the yield (weight) of the extracted receipt ID (00KB1) and 0.72 (t) as the yield (weight) of the extracted receipt ID (00KB2). ) And 0.98 (t) is obtained as the yield (weight) of the extracted receipt ID (00KB3).

  The dryer guide means 62 acquires these yields based on the grain information of FIG. 7 (that is, the characteristics of the koji acquired by the data collection device 5), and then from the operation information of the dryer 4A (operation information of the dryer 4A). Based on the above, the weight of the soot that can be accepted by the dryer 4A is extracted and compared with the yield (weight) of the acquired receipt ID. Then, the dryer guide means 62 is directed to any of the dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) with respect to the load receiving ID having a weight that can be received by the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3). Guidance of the pasting.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the “acceptable soot weight (acceptable weight)” of the dryer 4A-1 extracted from the operation information is 2.00 t, the dryer guide means 62 The total of the yield (0.85t) of the receipt ID (00KB1) and the yield (0.72t) of the receipt ID (00KB2) extracted as the receipt ID corresponding to the dryer 4A-1 can be received. Compare the weight (2.00t). As a result of the comparison, the total yield (1.57 t) is smaller than the acceptable weight (2.00 t) and can be attached to the dryer 4A-1, so that the dryer guide means 62 receives the receipt ID (00KB1). ) And the consignment ID (00KB2) are displayed on the display unit 55 such as a monitor of the second communication terminal 8 for instructing insertion into the dryer 4A-1.

  Further, when the “acceptable weight of the soot (acceptable weight)” of the dryer 4A-2 extracted from the operation information is 0.80 t, it is first extracted as a consignment ID corresponding to the dryer 4A-2. The yield (0.98 t) of the receipt ID (00KB3) is compared with the acceptable weight (0.80 t). As a result of comparison, the yield (0.98 t) is larger than the acceptable weight (0.80 t), and the entire amount of the consignment ID (00KB3) cannot be put into the dryer 4A-2. Therefore, the dryer guide means 62 displays a second display indicating that the entire amount cannot be put into the dryer 4A or that only 0.80 t can be received in the dryer 4A-2 with respect to the receipt ID (00KB3). The information is displayed on the display unit 55 such as a monitor of the communication terminal 8.

Accordingly, it is possible to guide so as to charge only the cocoon having substantially the same protein content, that is, the cocoon having substantially the same characteristics, into the dryer 4A.
Here, when the “acceptable soot weight (acceptable weight)” of the dryer 4A-1 extracted from the operation information is 0.90t, the yield (0.85t) of the receipt ID (00KB1) and the receipt of the goods are received. Both ID (00KB2) yield (0.72t) cannot be accepted simultaneously. Therefore, the dryer guide means 62 displays on the monitor of the second communication terminal 8 that the dryer 4A-1 can accept either the receipt ID (00KB1) or the receipt ID (00KB2). This is displayed on the section 55 And for the consignment ID that could not be received, the dryer guide means 62 performs the drying process earliest when the transport vehicle 3 arrives at the processing facility 4 based on the operation information of the other dryer 4A. Is determined, and the dryer 4A with the shortest waiting time is guided.

  Alternatively, if both the yield (0.85t) of the receipt ID (00KB1) and the yield (0.72t) of the receipt ID (00KB2) cannot be received at the same time, the dryer guide means 62 first receives the receipt ID. The yield (0.88t) of (00KB1) is compared with the yield (0.72t) of the receipt ID (00KB2), and the receipt ID (00KB1) close to the acceptable weight (0.90t) of the dryer 4A-1. Is displayed on the display unit 55 such as a monitor of the second communication terminal 8 for the yield (0.85 t) of the second communication terminal 8. For the receipt ID (00KB2), as described above, the dryer guide means 62 determines the dryer 4A that has completed the drying process earliest when the transport vehicle 3 arrives at the processing facility 4. Guide the dryer 4A with less waiting time.

  As a result, the remaining weight that can be put into the dryer 4A-1 becomes 0.05t (0.90-0.85), and the remaining weight when the consignment ID (00KB2) is put is 0.18t (0 .90-0.72), the dryer 4A can be operated (operated) while the capacity of the dryer 4A-1 is satisfied, and the operating efficiency (operating efficiency) of the dryer 4A-1 is kept high. can do.

The dryer guide means 62 refers to the presence or absence of the operation of the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) indicated in the operation information received from the operation information acquisition means 61. That is, only the dryer 4A that is currently operating is set as the processing target of the dryer guide means 62 described above.
Here, in the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3), when the range of the protein content rate to be received (the range of grain characteristics) is determined in advance, the processing of the dryer guide means 62 becomes simple.

For example, the range of the protein content accepted by the dryer 4A-1 is 7.1% or less, the range of the protein content accepted by the dryer 4A-2 is more than 7.1% and 7.5% or less, the dryer 4A-2 The range of the protein content that is accepted by is pre-determined to be over 7.5%. Allocation information between the plurality of dryers 4 </ b> A and the range of protein content (the range of grain characteristics) is stored in the server 6.

  First, the dryer guide means 62 uses the grain information (protein content rate) for each consignment ID as shown in FIG. 7 and the allowable range of the grain characteristics of the dryer 4A predetermined on the server 6 side (the protein content rate). Tolerable range). Then, the dryer guide means 62 guides the dryer 4A corresponding to the allowable range of the grain characteristics with respect to the receiving ID within the allowable range of the grain characteristics. For example, the dryer 4A-1 is guided to the receipt ID (00KB1) and the receipt ID (00KB2), and the dryer 4A-2 is guided to the receipt ID (00KB3). In this way, also when guiding the dryer 4A, the operation information acquisition means 61 acquires whether the dryer 4A can accept grains as operation information, and the dryer guide means 62 When 4A can accept the grain, the dryer 4A is guided.

  Thus, if the range of the protein content rate that each of the dryers 4A accepts is determined in advance, the dryer guide means 62 will show the “acceptable weight of the basket (acceptable weight)” of each dryer 4A. The dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) can be guided only by comparing the yield (weight) of each consignment ID extracted from the 7 grain information. As described above, the relationship between the plurality of dryers 4A and the allowable range of the protein content rate (the allowable range of grain characteristics) is stored in the server 6.

  The operation information acquisition unit 61 and the dryer guide unit 62 are not necessarily provided in the server 6, and may be provided in the second communication terminal 8 on the carrier side. When the 2nd communication terminal 8 is provided with the operation information acquisition means 61 and the dryer guide means 62, the server 6 shows the table of FIG. 7 which shows the grain information for every receipt ID, and dryer 4A (4A-1-4A). 3) is provided to the second communication terminal 8 as appropriate. When the transporter operates a button or the like provided on the second communication terminal 8 and designates the receiving ID (00KB1 to 00KB3) of the housing members 10A to 10C, the server 6 can perform the process shown in FIG. The table and operation information may be provided (uploaded) to the second communication terminal 8.

The operation information acquisition unit 61 and the dryer guide unit 62 of the second communication terminal 8 that acquired the table and the operation information perform the above-described operation, and display each receiving ID on the display unit 55 such as a monitor of the second communication terminal 8. Guide (display) the dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) that can be received.
In the agricultural support system 1 described above, the data collection device 5 collected grain information such as protein content and moisture content, which are characteristics of the harvested straw, but was collected as shown in the table of FIG. The grain information is associated with the field (for example, field A to field C) from which the straw corresponding to the grain information is harvested by the association unit 60 of the server 6.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the server 6 is provided with storage means 63 for storing the association between the field where the straw (cereal) associated with the association means 60 is harvested and the characteristics of the grain (cereal information).
That is, the storage unit 63 receives a table associating the grain information (protein, moisture, and yield) corresponding to the field name as shown in the table of FIG. 4 from the association unit 60 and receives all the fields to be harvested. Create and store an associated table of grain information about. Here, the storage means 63 is not limited to this table. If the grain information (protein content rate, moisture content rate and yield) is associated with the field name, the storage means 63 has the grain information at the field position as shown in FIG. May be created and stored. With these tables and maps, the storage means 63 stores (stores) the grain information of the grapes harvested in a plurality of fields in association with the field where the straws are harvested.

Therefore, the table or map stored in the storage unit 63 is created using the grain information collected by the data collection unit 5 in the previous harvest in each field. For grains that are harvested only once a year, such as rice cultivation, for example, a map or table shown in FIG. 10 is created using the grain information collected in the harvest before the previous year.
Referring to FIG. 9, in addition to the storage unit 63, the server 6 includes a classification unit 64 that classifies the characteristics of the straw (cereal information) that is a grain into a plurality of grain groups. For example, the classification means 64 classifies the protein content rate, which is one of the cereal information, into a plurality of groups (cereal group), and assigns a protein content rate of 7.1% or less to the cereal group indicated as “A rank”. A protein content of more than 7.1% and less than 7.8% is classified into a grain group indicated as “B rank”, and a protein content of over 7.8% is classified into a grain group indicated as “C rank”. With this classification, it is possible to assign a grain group to the table shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 11, the table to which the grain group corresponding to the protein content of the grain information is attached is, for example, an association unit. 60.

  At this time, the first reference value (also referred to as the first threshold), which is a reference value for dividing “A rank” and “B rank”, is 7.1%, and the reference value for dividing “B rank” and “C rank”. The second reference value (also referred to as the second threshold) is 7.8%. As described above, the classification unit 64 classifies the grain characteristics (cereal information) into a plurality of grain groups based on a plurality of reference values such as the first reference value and the second reference value.

The first reference value and the second reference value are values that are input to the server 6 by the operation of the operator of the processing facility 4 or based on the operation information of the dryer 4A, and are input to the server 6. Then, the classification means 64 is set. Accordingly, since the plurality of reference values are changeable values, a method for changing the reference values will be described later.
The server 6 further has a grain characteristic (protein content rate) that is a characteristic corresponding to any one of a plurality of grain groups from “A rank” to “C rank” among the fields stored in the storage unit 63. Field guidance means 65 for guiding the field from which the grain is harvested is provided. The field guidance means 65 is configured by a program stored in the server 6.

  When the server 6 receives the harvest notification from the first communication terminal 7, the field guidance means 65 is classified, for example, as “A rank” in the first communication terminal 7 assigned to the operator who operates the combine 2. Displays the field where the cereals with different cereal characteristics (protein content) were harvested. In detail, the field guidance means 65 extracts the field name (for example, field A etc.) of only “A rank” from the table as shown in FIG. 11, and indicates the position of the field A on the field map in the first communication. Provided to the terminal 7.

The operator who operates the combine 2 can obtain the previous harvest without having to measure the grain information directly on the combine 2 side at the time of harvesting by performing the harvesting operation as guided by the field guidance means 65. For example, it is possible to grasp the characteristics of the grain (protein content) harvested in the field A based on the grain information.
After harvesting, the work machine position is transmitted from the first communication terminal 7, and the consignment ID and the transport vehicle position are transmitted from the second communication terminal 8 to the server 6.

First, the server 6 performs the harvesting work as the combine 2 has guided by the field guidance means 65 based on the work machine position transmitted from the first communication terminal 7 and the position of the farm field guided by the farm field guidance means 65. It is determined whether or not. For example, it is determined whether or not the field A is harvested. Here, when it is determined that harvesting is being performed in the field A (when a work machine position suitable for the field A guided by the field guidance unit 65 is obtained), the server 6 (associating unit 60) It is assumed that the cereal is harvested at A, and based on the cereal information of FIG. 11 corresponding to the field A (for example, cereal information of rank A), the consignment ID transmitted from the second communication terminal 8, and the position of the transport vehicle, FIG. A table associating the receipt ID with the grain information as shown in FIG. Then, based on the table in which the receipt ID and the grain information are associated with each other and the operation information obtained by the operation information acquisition unit 61, the dryer guide unit 62 guides the dryer 4A corresponding to the receipt ID.

In the above-described embodiment, the field guidance unit 65 guides the field where the grains classified into the predetermined rank can be harvested regardless of the operation state of the dryer 4A. The farm may be guided according to the operation information.
That is, the field guidance means 65 guides the field to be harvested in association with the field group according to the operation information of the dryer 4A. Thereby, the field guidance means 65 is, for example, a field associated with “A rank”, and the field name, the position of the field, and the field where the protein content is 7.1% or less. Guidance (output) at the yield.

Hereinafter, the operation of the dryer guide unit 62 in the above-described agricultural support system 1 having the storage unit 63, the classification unit 64, and the farm field guide unit 65 will be described.
When the server 6 receives a notification of harvesting from the second communication terminal 8, the dryer guide means 62 operates the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) on the processing facility 4 as described above. Request information.

The processing facility 4 receives the request from the operation information acquisition unit 61, and as the operation information, for example, the cereal grain group that can be loaded into the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) and the dryer 4A (4A) -1 to 4A-3) transmits the weight (t) of the kite accepted (or acceptable) to the operation information acquisition unit 61.
When receiving the operation information from the processing facility 4, the operation information acquisition unit 61 outputs the received operation information to the dryer guide unit 62 and the farm field guide unit 65.

  The field guidance means 65 receives the operation information, and acquires the grain information of the straw that can be received by each of the dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) based on the received operation information. At this time, it is assumed that the operation information of each of the dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) is as follows. In each of the dryers 4A, the acceptable protein content of the soot is “A rank”, the moisture content is “arbitrary”, and the acceptable soot weight is “6 t”.

  Based on such operation information, the field guidance means 65 extracts a field having a protein content of “A rank” from the field map stored in the storage means 63, and from among the extracted fields, A field that can secure a yield of 18t (6t × 3 units), which is the weight of an acceptable basket that can be received by three dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) based on the grain information of the field. Is selected. At this time, the field guidance means 65 may select the field so that the harvesting path can be collected economically, for example, the travel path of the combine 2 or the transport vehicle 3 is the shortest or the travel time is the shortest.

Then, the farm field guide unit 65 outputs the selected farm field to the dryer guide unit 62. The dryer guide unit 62 receives the operation information from the operation information acquisition unit 61 and acquires the field name of the selected field, the position of the field, and the yield in the field from the field guide unit 65.
In addition, the dryer guide means 62 refers to the operation information of the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) and refers to the yield in each selected field, and determines the dryer 4A (4A-1). The fields selected so as to be a combination of yields that almost satisfy all the capacities of ˜4A-3). As a result, the dryer guide means 62 displays the position of the combined field and the order of harvesting on the monitor of the second communication terminal 8, and the dryer 4A corresponding to the straw harvested in the combined field. Guiding to (4A-1 to 4A-3) sticking.

When there are a plurality of dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) as described above, the “A rank” bottle is provided for the dryer 4A-1 and the “B rank” bottle is provided for the dryer 4A-2. In the dryer 4A-3, a grain group corresponding to a grain to be dried among a plurality of grain groups can be pre-assigned to the dryer, such as a “C rank” basket.
In this case, the field guidance means 65 is obtained from the field map stored in the storage means 63 so as to be a combination of yields that substantially satisfy all the capacities of the dryers 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3). A field is selected for each grain group of “A rank” to “C rank”. Thus, the dryer guide means 62 displays the position of the field selected for each grain group and the order of harvesting on the monitor of the second communication terminal 8, and the grapes harvested in the field selected for each grain group. On the other hand, it is possible to guide the sticking to the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) to which the grain group is assigned in advance.

As a result, it is possible to guide only cocoons with almost the same protein content, that is, cocoons with almost the same characteristics, to be loaded into one dryer, and to dry the cocoons so that cocoons with different characteristics do not mix. Can do.
Further, the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) can be operated (operated) in a state where each capacity of the dryer 4A (4A-1 to 4A-3) is satisfied, and the dryer 4A (4A) The operation efficiency (operation efficiency) of -1 to 4A-3) can be maintained high.

  Note that the storage unit 63, the classification unit 64, and the farm field guidance unit 65 are not necessarily provided in the server 6, and may be provided in the second communication terminal 8. When the second communication terminal 8 includes the storage unit 63, the classification unit 64, and the farm field guidance unit 65, the second communication terminal 8 may acquire necessary information from the server 6 at an appropriate time. The reference value to be set may be set via an input screen displayed on the monitor of the second communication terminal 8 or the like.

Finally, referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the reference values (first reference value and second reference value) for classifying the characteristics of the straw (cereal information) as a grain into a plurality of grain groups are changed. A method will be described. In the following description, a method for changing the first reference value will be described.
The reference value changing method differs depending on whether the storage means 63 of the server 6 does not have a map or table in which grain information is associated with the position of the field. Therefore, the method of changing the first reference value will be described separately for the case where the map or table is not provided and the case where it is provided.

  First, a case where the storage unit 63 does not have a map or table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 shows the harvest results when harvesting was performed using the above-described agricultural support system 1 while changing the first reference value over September 10 (9/10) to October 16 (10/16). It is a table | surface which shows. In the table of FIG. 12, among the grapes harvested from September 10 (9/10) to October 16 (10/16), the proteins having a protein content of 6.8% to 7.4% The cumulative composition ratio of soot below the content rate is shown in three periods (9 / 10-12, 9 / 10-19, 9 / 10-10 / 16). For example, in the period 9 / 10-12, the cumulative composition ratio with respect to the total yield of strawberries having a protein content of 6.8% or less is 2.1%, and 6.9% or less including 6.8% The cumulative composition ratio was 11.9%. That is, it can be seen that 11.9% of the grapes harvested in 3 days of the period 9 / 10-12 were occupied with a protein content of 6.9% or less.

  The harvest shown in the table of FIG. 12 was carried out with the aim of securing 20.0% or more of the “A rank” cocoons without mixing the cocoons of other ranks. In this harvest, for the first three days (9 / 10-12), the first reference value is lower than 7.1%, which is the lower limit of “A rank”, in order to collect only the best-tasting koji. Is low (that is, more delicious) 7.0%, "A rank" is 7.0% or less, and only cocoons with protein content of 7.0% or less are separated from other cocoons and dried. I let you.

However, as a result of performing the harvest for 3 days in the period 9 / 10-12 with the first reference value being 7.0%,
The cumulative composition ratio of wrinkles with a protein content of 7.0% or less was 21.0%, and there was a possibility that 20.0% would be divided depending on the harvest after the 4th day. Therefore, the first reference value was changed from 7.0% to 7.1%, which is the lower limit of “A rank”, and harvesting was performed on and after the fourth day.
As a result, the cumulative composition ratio of “A rank” (7.1% or less) harvested during the 10th day of the period 9 / 10-19 was 25.2%, and even during the entire period 9 / 10-10 / 16 The cumulative composition ratio of “A rank” kites was 22.8%, and the “A rank” kites were successfully secured 20.0% or more without mixing them with other rank kites.

  If the first reference value is not changed from 7.0%, the 7.1% straw may be mixed with the “B rank” straw and put into the dryer 4A. It is important to change appropriately. Needless to say, if the required cumulative composition ratio can be secured while the first reference value remains 7.0%, it is not necessary to change the first reference value, and the first reference value is lower than 7.0%. It may be possible to change it to a value.

If the first reference value is maintained at 7.0% or can be changed to a value lower than 7.0%, only the lower protein content cocoon can be obtained as “A rank”, and the taste is better. Only the amount of firewood can be secured.
Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the case where the memory | storage means 63 has a map or a table is demonstrated. FIG. 13 is a graph created based on a map or table stored in the storage unit 63 of the server 6. The graph of FIG. 13 shows the protein partition value, which is the first reference value, and the yield of cocoons obtained in the previous harvest, the “A rank” of the protein content below the protein partition value and the other “B” It shows the relationship with the yield ratio (partition ratio) when sorted into "Rank".

In the above description, wrinkles with a protein content of 7.1% or less are treated as “A rank”. However, in the following explanation, if the protein content is less than the protein partition value, it is treated as “A rank”.
Specifically, the first reference value (protein partition value) is changed variously with respect to the protein content rate and yield in the previous and previous harvests held in the map or table stored in the storage unit 63, and before the previous time. The yield of potatoes harvested in the harvest of is sorted into “A rank” and other “B rank”. The graph of FIG. 13 shows the yield ratio of “A rank” and the yield ratio of “B rank” in each protein partition value. Here, since all the harvested grapes are sorted into “A rank” or “B rank”, the total ratio of “A rank” and “B rank” is 100%. There is a trade-off relationship.

In the graph of FIG. 13, when the protein partition value is 7.0%, the fraction of “A rank” is about 15%. According to this graph, by setting the protein partition value to 7.1%, the fraction of “A rank” can be increased to 20% or more, so the first reference value is 7.1% from the start of harvesting. can do.
However, the relationship between the protein partition value and the sorting ratio shown in the graph of FIG. 13 changes every time harvesting is performed and new grain information is obtained. Therefore, the protein partition value (first reference value) using the relationship between the protein partition value and the fraction ratio that seems to be most reliable, such as the relationship between the protein partition value and the fraction ratio based on the grain information obtained from the most recent harvest. ) Can be changed.

Here, the first reference value can also be corrected using the relationship between the protein partition value and the average protein value shown in FIG. FIG. 14 shows the average (average protein content) of the “A rank” protein content and the other “B” when the protein partition value was changed variously with respect to the protein content and yield in the previous harvest. It is a graph which shows the average protein content rate of a "rank."
According to the graph of FIG. 14, when the protein partition value is set to 7.1%, the average protein content of the cocoon obtained as “A rank” is 7.0%, and the protein partition value (first criterion) When the value) is set to 7.5%, the average of the actual protein content of the “A rank” cocoons is about 7.1%. Therefore, in the graph of FIG. 13, if the fraction of “A rank” cannot be set to 20% or more even if the protein partition value is 7.1%, referring to the graph of FIG. It can be seen that a change of (1 standard value) can be allowed up to 7.5%.

In this way, based on the grain information obtained in the previous harvest, the relationship shown in the graph using the average protein value in FIG. It is also possible to correct the first reference value that has been changed (set) based on the first reference value.
The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
