Optical seed mass flow sensors are widely used on seed drills and planters. An important challenge in these sensors is their malfunction in a dusty condition. Dust caused by soil and seeds may sit on the light elements and disrupt its function. In this study, an approach was developed to compensate this effect. A non-contact intelligent system with infrared diodes and a microcontroller with ARM architecture was built up to monitor the seed flow in the delivery tube of seed drills. At the hardware phase, a glass with a different radius of curvature was installed in front of the elements. The semi-cylindrical glass placement in front of the optical elements meant that the arrangement was sealed against dust. Besides, the fall of the seeds tangential to the... |
