Popis: Sensors are very import parts of the IoT (Internet of Things). To detect the cleaning loss of combine harvesters during operation, a new detection method based on acoustic signal was proposed. The simulation models of the impact among grain, stem and plate were established by using the ALE algorithm, and the vibration excitation characteristics of the grain and stem were investigated; the results showed that both grain and stem signal were generated by surface vibration’s excitation of the air, and the highest amplitudes of grain and stem signal were 15 kHz and 7 kHz respectively, which made it possible to distinguish grain and stem impact acoustic signals. Therefore, this paper proposed a novel method to separate the grain and stem signals by identifying the characteristic frequency area and subsequently an improved EMD denoising method based on an autocorrelation function was proposed. The critical stratum of EMD was identified based on the autocorrelation value of the eigenmode function, and the improved de-noising method was able to effectively remove the noise and the stem signal. To verify the feasibility of the improved denoising method, a field wheat harvesting experiment was conducted to acquire the actual acoustic signal of the cleaning operation. Data processing results showed that the average error of the comparison between the detected loss amount and the actual loss amount was 6.1%. This paper presents a novel approach for researching combine harvester cleaning loss detection and denoising methods.
