Abstract:In response to the demand for dual-channel intelligent screening of sugarcane seeds in the intelligent sugarcane seed preparation production line, an industrial-grade precise sugarcane screening control system was designed. It adopted a parallel architecture to simultaneously achieve real-time visual quality inspection and rejection control of dual-channel sugarcane seeds. Each channel formed feedback by real-time detection of the conveyor belt speed, and the PID algorithm was used to control the stepping motor to achieve closed-loop speed regulation, ensuring the stability of the conveyor belt speed. A delay circuit was constructed by using dual NE555 chips to ensure that the rejection action was precisely synchronized with the position of the inferior species. The system used a 16-channel RS-485 transistor pulse driver as signal driver for 16-channel delay circuit, efficiently connecting the intelligent quality inspection system for sugarcane seeds, the 16-channel delay circuit and rejection actuator. By configuring the station number of 16-channel RS-485 transistor pulse driver, independent addressing can be achieved, featuring good modularization, scalability and engineering applicability. The test results showed that the dual-channel system had high recognition and screening accuracy at different speeds, and its operating efficiency was increased with the increase of speed, verifying its good stability and practicability. In the performance test of the single-channel system, when the conveyor belt speed was 0.20 m/s, the interval between sugarcane seeds was 10 cm, and the proportion of inferior species was 40%, the system screening accuracy rate reached 98%, and filtering took 30 s, which was equivalent to a single-channel screening efficiency of approximately 6,000 segments per hour, with an efficiency increase of 100.5%. The multi-factor orthogonal experiments showed that the average screening accuracy model was extremely significant. Both the conveyor belt speed and the sugarcane seed interval had extremely significant effects on the average screening accuracy, and the proportion of inferior seeds showed a significant influence. After optimizing the experimental parameters, when the conveyor belt speed was 0.20 m/s, the spacing between sugarcane seeds was 11.69 cm, and the proportion of inferior seeds was 24.60%, the screening accuracy rate can reach 98.89%, which can meet the requirements of actual production.
