Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 農業機械工程學系 === 82 === Pesticide spraying is unavoidable in agriculture. Beneath vined trellieses of vineyard, it takes to have chemical drops disperse after spraying. These drops are very dangerous to the workers. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to develop an unmanned vehicle for spraying pesticide. The guidance of the unmanned vehicle is a keypoint technically to this automatic device. The purpose of this study is, according to conventional guidance, to develop a fast way to manipulate the driving of the vehicle, to ensure the vehicle standing on the prefixed path that is between two columns of plant stems. Two infrared sensors are employed to inspect the relative position between the vehicle and the path that is represented by a shallow gully. The manipulation of the vehicle is affected by the distance between sensors to the central lines,but not affected by the distance between the two sensors. For actual and convenient use, the optimum locations where the infared sensors may install is 10 cm from the central line of driving axle.Such an installation makes accurate manipulation of the vehicle. The simulation by computer can be the reference for deciding the position of sensors in actual use evidentially.
