Abstract


In order to ensure the working performance of the seeder, reduce the labor intensity of manual testing, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the detection, a real-time detection system for detecting the performance of no-till seeders was designed based on the LabVIEW software platform of virtual instrument technology and the MCC USB-231 data acquisition card. The detection system can be used to detect the seeding quality index and residue cover index. The detection of the seeding quality index included the middle detection between the metering device and the opener, the end detection between the opener and the furrow. The result of the field test showed that the detection accuracies of seed quantity, multiple index, and miss index were 94.51%, 92.83%, and 91.81%, respectively. The fault position can be accurately determined, and the measurement accuracy of residue cover index was 94.54%. The working performance of the no-tillage seeder can be monitored by the detection system to avoid the occurrence of reseeding and miss-seeding and improve production efficiency.
