Application of linear displacement sensor in intelligent agricultural machinery matching
Sensor is a kind of equipment that can sense environmental changes and automatically collect, process and transmit data. Intelligent agricultural machinery is mainly integrated in seeders, harvesters and other devices, supporting automatic driving and operation monitoring, and combining sensors and agricultural machinery equipment to realize the automation and intelligence of agricultural machinery operation. For example, using the controllability of sensors to ensure the accuracy of the driving path of agricultural machinery and avoid the collision of agricultural machinery at high speed and damage to agricultural products.
Agricultural resource management: Real-time detection and accurate irrigation and management of farmland water conservancy facilities (such as irrigation system and drainage system) by using the precision performance of sensors to improve the utilization rate of water resources. For example, the liquid level sensor is used to detect the water level of the reservoir, to guide the irrigation and drainage of the system, to avoid waste of water resources and prevent root rot.
There are many applications of linear displacement sensor in agriculture, as follows: Crop planting: In the seeder, the displacement sensor can detect the position of the seeding tray, so as to ensure that seeds are sown evenly and avoid repeated sowing or missed sowing.
Harvesting machinery: On the harvester, the displacement sensor is used to monitor the position of the header to ensure that the crops are cut correctly and reduce crop losses.
Irrigation system: Displacement sensors can be used to monitor the movement of irrigation system to ensure that irrigation covers the whole field evenly.
Soil tillage: In tillage machinery such as plows, displacement sensors can help control the depth and position of plows to adapt to different soil conditions and crop needs.
Fertilization machinery: In fertilization machinery, the displacement sensor can monitor the distribution of fertilizer, ensure the uniform application of fertilizer and improve the efficiency of fertilizer use.
Post-harvest treatment of crops: In the post-harvest treatment machinery, displacement sensors can monitor the flow and position of crops to optimize the treatment process.
Mechanical navigation: In the self-driving agricultural machinery, the displacement sensor is the key component to realize accurate navigation and path planning.
In addition, the linear displacement sensor is also applied to plant growth monitoring, such as measuring the growth parameters such as DBH, height and fruit size of trees, crops and other plants, providing scientific basis for plant cultivation and agricultural management. With the development of agricultural intelligence and automation, the application of linear displacement sensor will be more extensive. Sensors in agricultural machinery can not only improve the efficiency of resource utilization, but also reduce labor costs and environmental pollution. With the development of miniaturization and low cost in the future, its popularization potential in small farms is huge.
