Beidou agricultural machinery autopilot realizes tractor automatic driving

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] Recently, the "2017 China Yangzhou Science and Technology Innovation Achievement Exhibition Fair" brought a thrilling feast of technology to the audience. The Beidou agricultural machinery pilot instrument earned a wave of eyeballs at the meeting.

Beidou agricultural machinery autopilot realizes tractor automatic driving

With the Beidou autopilot, the tractor can also drive automatically.

When it comes to arable land, many people think of tractors. Even when experienced tractors are cultivating large areas of land, there may be cases where arable land is not straight and replays.

However, high-tech tractors and other agricultural equipment can be less "mind", and now equipped with a global satellite navigation system to achieve straight-line automatic driving. At this year's trade fair, the research and development team led by Prof. Zhang Ruihong from the Mechanical College of Yangzhou University showed their Beidou agricultural autopilot.

The "big guy" on the scene has been equipped with a global satellite navigation system and an angular displacement sensor. "This system is a completely independent research and development of the Beidou-based tractor navigation system in China." Professor Zhang Ruihong said that although the relevant equipment has been used in the past, the core components of the system use foreign equipment. "Only international companies such as John Deere and Tianbao have introduced navigation tractor products, and tractor navigation systems based on domestic Beidou technology are still in the blank. The development of this system not only breaks the monopoly of foreign GPS navigation systems, but also reduces tractor navigation. The production cost of the system, and effectively ensure the security of national geographic information."

The reporter saw on the scene that the product was equipped with a specially developed car tablet computer software, and the front-end single-machine debugging control system could display the current system information, process real-time data in the background, and remotely control the agricultural machine using the Internet. Establish a real-time management platform for agricultural machinery, realize real-time monitoring of agricultural machinery operations, real-time delivery of tasks, and maintenance of remote systems, and finally realize functions such as supervision of auxiliary functional departments.

Yang Xiang, a teacher at Yangzhou University's School of Mechanical Engineering, told reporters that when using this equipment to work in the field, the driver can sit in the driver's seat, drink tea, and use the tablet to browse the news. The machine can be "automatically driven" in a straight line. The driver only The steering wheel needs to be turned when turning, and the tractor will cultivate the land according to the set route. It is also possible to fix the supporting equipment of the agricultural equipment at the back of the tractor, and perform functions such as sowing, transplanting, fertilizing, and fighting drugs. After data loading, they can implement subsequent spraying of the target and fertilizing according to the big data of the transplanting. To significantly reduce weight loss and reduce medicine.
