摘要： To ensure boom sprayer safety and spraying efficiency, the sprayer boom height must be adjusted during pesticide application. The field variation characteristics of the sprayer boom height are the basis of the boom balance adjustment. A boom height detection system based on ultrasonic sensors was designed. Field tests were performed in 2.0 ha of vacant fields and 13.44 ha of wheat stubble fields. A signal processing method based on the K-means clustering algorithm was used to preprocess the ultrasonic sensor data. The results showed that the K-means clustering algorithm could effectively improve the detection accuracy of an ultrasonic sensor. The boom height variation was greatest at the sides of the boom, and the primary frequencies of the boom height variation were concentrated within a low-frequency band from 0 Hz to 1 Hz. The U-turn operation was more likely to cause the boom to contact the crop canopy or the ground than row operation. As the spraying speed increased, the maximum boom height variation and maximum roll angle increased; these primary components decreased in frequency, and the amplitude clearly increased. The maximum boom height variation exceeded 50 cm, and the maximum roll angle exceeded 3 degrees, which not only aggravated the droplet drift but also caused damage to the boom and nozzles due to contact with the ground or the crop canopy. These findings can provide a theoretical basis for use in the development of an automatic boom height adjustment system.
