    摘要: The present disclosure provides a variable-rate spray control system based on an annular application structure and a tree canopy volume (TCV) calculation method thereof. The TCV calculation method includes: acquiring in real time, by using vertical/horizontal scanning two-dimensional (2D) LiDAR, point cloud data of a variable-rate sprayer in motion in an orchard environment; acquiring speed information of the variable-rate sprayer by using a speed sensor; dividing spraying regions according to an angle at which contacts of nozzles on an annular application structure are mutually spaced on an arc; filtering interferences by setting a threshold range, calculating a sector area of a tree canopy according to trunk distance information from the horizontal LiDAR and point cloud information from the vertical LiDAR within the threshold range, and calculating a TCV in combination with the information of the speed sensor and a scanning cycle of the vertical LiDAR.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a weakly-supervised sound event detection method and system based on adaptive hierarchical pooling. The system includes an acoustic model and an adaptive hierarchical pooling algorithm module (AHPA-model), where the acoustic model inputs a pre-processed and feature-extracted audio signal, and predicts a frame-level prediction probability aggregated by the AHPA-module to obtain a sentence-level prediction probability. The acoustic model and a relaxation parameter are jointly optimized to obtain an optimal model weight and an optimal relaxation parameter based for formulating each category of sound event. A pre-processed and feature-extracted unknown audio signal is input to obtain frame-level prediction probabilities of all target sound events (TSEs), and sentence-level prediction probabilities of all categories of TSEs are obtained based on an optimal pooling strategy of each category of TSE. The disclosure has good versatility in being applicable to audio classification, complex acoustic scene, and locating in weakly-supervised sound event detection.

    摘要: A hybrid transmission device with a mechanical continuously variable transmission and a control method thereof are provided. The device includes an input shaft assembly, a front planetary gear transmission assembly, a rear planetary gear transmission assembly, an output shaft, and a mechanical continuously variable transmission. Single transmission modes and hybrid transmission modes are implemented through combination and engagement/disengagement of brakes and clutches. The device and the method realize free switching among various transmission modes and integrates the single transmission modes and the hybrid transmission modes, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in adjustment and expanding the speed regulation range. Input and output shafts of a front cup wheel and ring disc transmission mechanism and a rear cup wheel and ring disc transmission mechanism are coaxial, so that the structure is compact and intermediate rollers can stably and reliably transmit large torque.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a ratooning rice harvesting header and a harvester including the same. The ratooning rice harvesting header includes a multi-layer adjustable disc cutter, a header, and an ear cutter. The multi-layer adjustable disc cutter is mounted below the header and located below a rear portion of the ear cutter. The ear cutter is mounted at a front end of the header. The multi-layer adjustable disc cutter includes at least one group of multi-layer disc cutting assemblies. Each group of multi-layer disc cutting assemblies includes two multi-layer disc cutting assemblies. Each of the multi-layer disc cutting assemblies includes three layers of vertically arranged blades. The use of the multi-layer adjustable disc cutter in cooperation with the ear cutter can reduce the straw-grain ratio of the part cut from the crops to reduce the power consumption of the harvester.

    摘要: A structure self-adjusting type vehicle-mounted magnetic suspension flywheel battery coping with multiple operation modes and an operating method thereof are provided. An ant-nest type channel is formed in a radiator of the flywheel battery along a circumferential direction, and a plurality of counterweight magnetic adsorption devices are symmetrically embedded in a flywheel lower sphere. When the flywheel battery operates in a charging mode, a standby mode or a discharging mode, the operation mode of the motor is flexibly changed according to different recovered energy levels or output energy levels, and the loss in the magnetic bearing system is reduced through matching of different types of magnetic bearings according to different disturbance levels. The low-loss, high-safety and stable operation of the vehicle-mounted magnetic suspension flywheel battery in various operation modes can be realized.

    摘要: The present invention provides a material-based subdomain hybrid cellular automata algorithm for solving material optimization of thin-walled frame structures, including an outer loop and an inner loop: the outer loop is to define and update the target cost for the inner loop; the inner loop is to adjust material using a PID control strategy according to the nominal flow stress of a current cell and the nominal flow stress of candidate materials, so that a current cost of the inner loop converges to the target cost. During the execution of the inner loop, the cellular material update rule based on the PID control strategy is employed to update cellular material, to define the candidate material library and the nominal flow stress, to update the nominal flow stress of current cell, to compare the nominal flow stress with the actual flow stress of each material in the candidate material library, to select the candidate material closest to the nominal flow stress as the selected material grade for the current cell and to replace the material parameters of the current cell with the mechanical parameters of the selected material. The present invention can efficiently solve nonlinear the dynamic response optimization problems containing a large number of material variables, significantly improving the robustness of the algorithm.
