In order to satisfy the agricultural demond of rice transplanting, the transplanter work should guarantee the escapement even in straight line transplanting that is convenient for field management and harvest later. Because of variable soil conditions and hard work environment, the driver driving level and the long boring driving to follow line is a big influence to the accuracy of the rice transplant. It is easy to produce overline, leak line and cause losses in yield. Aimed at above problem, this text introduces an automatic navigation system developed on PZ60 rice transplanter based on global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The steering, transmission and transplanting control system of the rice transplanter were modified from manual control system to electro-hydraulic control system using electro-hydraulic proportional valve. According to the position information of the rice transplanter acquired from GNSS receiver and vehicle sensors, the close-loop feedback control system of steering was builded. The system can accurately control rice transplanter to follow row navigating and turn around at the end of field by the self-adaptive fuzzy control method. The road and field experiment results indicated that the lateral tracking error could be kept within 100 mm when the speed of the rice transplant is not greater than 1.0m/s. The control system can satisfy the requirment of rice transplanting.
