Integration of Control Strategies for Cleaning Based on Granular Computing

Abstract

Cleaning control based on changes in cleaning loss rate and impurity rate has emerged as a hot topic in the research on intelligent control for rice and wheat combined harvesters. However, numerous operation parameters can lead to deviations beyond the normal range of cleaning loss rate and impurity rate. The impact of cleaning control parameters in rice and wheat combined harvesters on cleaning loss rate and impurity rate often tends to be contradictory. How to combine different contradictory cleaning control strategies to get a more widely used and better cleaning control strategy is a hot issue in the current cleaning control research. In this paper, the granularity of quotient space is introduced into the cleaning control based on operation parameters, and a cleaning control model based on granularity synthesis theory is proposed. This method first constructs a knowledge base for intelligent control of cleaning tailored to the cleaning loss rate and impurity rate using production rule representation, and considers that these control strategies constitute different quotient spaces, and then organizes these quotient spaces according to granularity synthesis theory to get the cleaning control strategy. The experimental results verify that the validity of the cleaning control based on granular computing is better than fuzzy control.
