Description
"Hui Geng Ling Sowing-AIOT-based Multifunctional Intelligent Yam Seeder" is a fully automatic intelligent agricultural equipment specially developed to solve the pain points of yam planting industry. It integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and focuses on the efficiency improvement, precision optimization and cost reduction of yam sowing links, create a full-process solution integrating "ditching-intelligent sorting-precision seeding-adaptive soil covering-real-time monitoring.
In terms of core functions, the equipment breaks through the limitations of traditional planters: first, in view of the problem of large differences in the size and shape of yam seed segments, it is equipped with an intelligent identification and sorting system, which can classify and screen the seed segments before sowing to ensure the uniformity of sowing; Second, the soil hardness sensor and laser ranging technology can be used to adjust the trenching depth in real time according to different soil quality and accurately control the thickness of covering soil, third, the AIOT intelligent control module is integrated to monitor the running status of each component of the equipment in real time, with functions such as fault warning and data visualization, and supports single-row/double-row sowing mode switching to adapt to different planting scales and varieties.
From the research and development results, the project has completed the prototype research and development and multiple rounds of testing, verified by the actual planting scene, the sowing efficiency is 5-8 times higher than the artificial, the sowing depth deviation is controlled within ± 5mm, the accuracy of soil thickness is more than 95%, greatly reducing labor intensity and labor costs. At present, a complete technical document system has been formed, including product drawings, technical instructions, etc., and plans to promote market promotion, serve large growers, agricultural cooperatives and other subjects, and help the yam planting industry to upgrade to intelligence and scale.
