Study of a Cleaning Intelligent Control System for Rice and Wheat Combine Harvester

Abstract

The intelligent regulation and control strategies for rice and wheat combine harvesters' operation are lacking and the rule of parameter matching is fuzzy in China, around these issues, the dynamic correlation control law among the parameters of rice and wheat, cleaning operation parameters of combine harvesters, the cleaning loss rate and impurity rate are studied, and so on. The intelligent control model for the rice and wheat combine harvester is established based on case-based reasoning. According to different rice and wheat varieties, water content and other rice and wheat properties, the control scheme of cleaning fan speed, air distributor plate angle and upper sieve opening with low cleaning impurity rate and cleaning loss rate is provided. Through the development of web-based cleaning intelligent control expert system and conduct experimental evaluation, the feasibility and effectiveness of the case-based reasoning method in the intelligent control filed of rice and wheat combine harvesters is verified.
