Description
NAVIGATION METHOD OF CORN HARVESTRE Technical Field The present invention relates to agricultural machinery, and in particular to a mechanical-contact navigation control system and navigation method of a corn harvester. Background China is a large agricultural country. Automation and intelligentization of agricultural machinery and equipment are the premise and foundation for realizing the large-scale farming of modern agriculture in China and have broad development prospects. Although China has made remarkable achievements in the mechanization of agricultural equipment, it is still at the initial stage in terms of automation and intelligentization. When the corn harvester as large-sized agricultural harvesting equipment works in the field, on one hand, a driver shall drive the machine carefully; and on the other hand, the driver shall pay close attention to the feeding amount, row alignment and working conditions of an engine, so that long-term mechanical operation may increase the fatigue of the driver and reduce the harvesting efficiency. In order to reduce the workload of the driver and improve the work efficiency, an automatic row alignment control technology of the corn harvester is researched, and the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the harvester is developed, so that a swath of a harvesting table is accurately aligned with the corn rows, thereby preventing undesirable operation phenomenon such as staggered operation and realizing an automatic row alignment function of the harvesting table. Summary The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mechanical-contact navigation system and navigation method of a corn harvester. By using a mechanics-electronics-hydraulics integrated control technology, the control system detects a row alignment state of a harvesting table by using a sensing apparatus, and controls an electromagnetic reversing valve of a steering hydraulic cylinder by using a controller to realize the steering adjustment, thereby achieving a purpose of automatic row alignment of the harvesting table.
To solve the technical problem, the present invention adopts the technical solution as follows: a mechanical-contact navigation control system of a corn harvester includes a controller, mechanical-contact guide mechanisms, an electro-hydraulic proportional valve, a steering hydraulic cylinder and a steering detection sensor. The mechanical- contact guide mechanisms are installed on a swath of the harvester in pairs. The front end of each mechanical-contact guide mechanism is provided with a contact lever for detecting whether the harvester is driven in a row alignment mode, and the contact levers of each pair of mechanical-contact guide mechanisms are disposed oppositely. The electro-hydraulic proportional valve controls the action of the steering hydraulic cylinder, and the steering hydraulic cylinder is connected with a steering mechanism of a harvester steering wheel. The steering detection sensor is mounted at the top end of a steering shaft of the steering wheel. The steering detection sensor detects a rotation angle of the steering wheel and feeds back the rotation angle to the controller.
According to the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester, the mechanical-contact guide mechanism includes a shell and a contact lever which is rotatably connected with the shell. The shell is mounted on the swath of the harvester. A rotating shaft is arranged inside the shell. The rotating shaft is provided with a Hall element. The rotating shaft is connected with the contact lever.
According to the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester, the front end of the contact lever is in an arc shape.
According to the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester, the front ends of the contact levers of each pair of mechanical-contact guide mechanisms are spaced for a distance.
According to the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester, the shell is provided with a mounting hole. The shell is fixedly connected with a harvesting table through a bolt penetrating through the mounting hole.
According to the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester, the contact lever is fixed on the rotating shaft inside the shell through a nut.
The mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester also includes a touch screen. The touch screen and the controller are installed in a cab.
The present invention further discloses a navigation method based on the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester. Firstly, the corn harvester takes one row of corns as a reference row, and the mechanical-contact guide mechanisms judge whether the corn harvester works in a row alignment mode by detecting the reference row. When the harvester works normally, the mechanical-
contact guide mechanisms may not touch corn straws of the reference row, no signal is fed back to the controller, and an actuating mechanism does not act.
When the harvester deviates from the reference row, the mechanical-contact guide mechanisms touch the corn straws; a trigger signal is fed back to the controller; the controller judges a deflection direction of the harvester, and adjusts the actions of the electro-hydraulic proportional valve and the steering hydraulic cylinder to deflect the steering wheel, and at the same time, the steering detection sensor detects a deflection angle of the steering wheel and feeds back a detection value to the controller.
When the deflection angle of the steering wheel reaches a set value, the controller controls the steering hydraulic cylinder to center the steering wheel.
When the steering detection sensor detects that the steering wheel is centered to a set median value, the controller stops adjusting the steering wheel, and the navigation control system completes one navigation action.
The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the mechanical-contact guide mechanisms of the present invention convert the deflection angle of the contact lever to a voltage signal; the steering detection sensor detects the rotation angle of the steering wheel; and the controller controls the action of the electro-hydraulic proportional valve according to the signals fed back by the mechanical-contact guide mechanisms and the steering detection sensor to realize the extension and retraction of the steering hydraulic cylinder, thereby achieving a purpose of automatic row alignment of the harvester.
The mechanical-contact guide mechanisms of the present invention are small in overall structure, high in dustproof, waterproof and anti-vibration capacity, and are not susceptible to interference.

Detailed Description The present invention is further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a mechanical-contact navigation control system of a corn harvester includes a touch screen 1, a controller 2, an electro-hydraulic proportional valve 3, mechanical-contact guide mechanisms 4, a steering hydraulic cylinder 5 and a steering detection sensor. The touch screen 1 and the controller 2 are mounted in a cab. Operation parameters are set and displayed by the touch screen 1. The controller 2 controls an actuating mechanism to complete the row alignment action. The electro-hydraulic proportional valve 3 is mounted below the cab and controls the action of the steering hydraulic cylinder 5. The mechanical-contact guide mechanisms are mounted on a swath of the harvester in pairs. The front end of each mechanical- contact guide mechanism is provided with a contact lever for detecting whether the harvester is driven in a row alignment mode. The contact levers of each pair of mechanical-contact guide mechanisms are disposed oppositely. The steering hydraulic cylinder 5 is connected with a steering mechanism of a harvester steering wheel. The steering detection sensor 6 is mounted at the top end of a steering shaft of the steering wheel. The rotation angle of the steering wheel is fed back by the steering detection sensor 6 to the controller 2.
As shown in Fig. 3, the mechanical-contact guide mechanism 4 consists of a shell 41, around nut 42, a mounting hole 43 and a contact lever 44. The mechanical-contact guide mechanism 4 is fixedly connected with a harvesting table by a bolt penetrating through the mounting hole 43. The round nut 42 fixes the contact lever 44 onto a rotating shaft inside the shell 41. The contact lever 44 drives a Hall element on the rotating shaft to rotate. According to different positions of electric signals triggered by the Hall element, a deflection angle of the contact lever 44 is judged.
In the present embodiment, to ensure the detection accuracy, the front end of the contact lever is in an arc shape. The front ends of the contact levers of each pair of mechanical-contact guide mechanisms are spaced for a distance.
The present embodiment also discloses a navigation method based on the mechanical-contact navigation control system of the corn harvester. The method includes: the corn harvester takes one row of corns as a reference row when performing the automatic row alignment operation, and mechanical-contact guide mechanisms 4 judge whether a machine performs the row alignment operation by detecting the reference row. When the machine works normally, the guide mechanisms may not 5 touch corn straws of the reference row, no signal is fed back to a controller 2, and an actuating mechanism does not act. When the machine deviates from the reference row, the guide mechanisms touch the corn straws, a trigger signal is fed back to the controller 2, the controller 2 judges a deflection direction of the machine and adjusts the actions of an electro-hydraulic proportional valve 3 and a steering hydraulic cylinder 5 to deflect a machine steering wheel, and at the same time, a steering detection sensor 6 detects a deflection angle of the steering wheel and feeds back a detection value to the controller 2. When the deflection angle of the steering wheel reaches a set value, the controller 2 controls the steering hydraulic cylinder 5 to center the steering wheel. When the steering detection sensor 6 detects that the steering wheel is centered to a set median value, the controller 2 stops adjusting the steering wheel, and the navigation control system completes one navigation control action.
A specific process for the controller 2 to control the harvester to perform the automatic row alignment is as follows: the mechanical-contact guide mechanisms 4 rotate, a guide signal is triggered, and the controller 2 judges the deflection direction. If the harvester deviates to the left, the controller 2 controls the electro-hydraulic proportional valve 3 to be electrified, the electro-hydraulic proportional valve 3 controls the steering wheel to turn right through the steering hydraulic cylinder 5, and then the steering detection sensor 6 detects a rotation angle of the steering wheel and feeds back the rotation angle to the controller 2. The controller 2 judges the position of a tire according to the deflection angle, continues to control the steering wheel to turn right if the tire is still located in a left deflection interval, and judges the position of the tire. Until the position of the tire is at a median value, the controller 2 controls the electro-hydraulic proportional valve 3 to be powered off, stops the steering of the steering wheel, and waits for the next triggering of the guide signal. In a similar way, if the harvester deviates to the right, the steering wheel is controlled to turn left, and the position of the tire is judged. Until the position of the tire is at the median value, the electro-hydraulic valve is powered off, and the steering of the steering wheel is stopped, so that the navigation control system completes one navigation control action, the harvester performs the automatic row alignment, and the steering adjustment is realized.
The specific implementation of the present invention is described above with reference to the drawings but is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
Those skilled in the art should understand that on the basis of the technical solutions of the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without contributing creative labor are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
