The meeting was chaired by Zhao Fengmin, Secretary-General of the Chinese Society for Agricultural Machinery. Chen Xuegeng, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, served as the head of the expert panel, and Fang Xianfa, Chief Engineer of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Sciences Group Co., Ltd., served as the deputy head of the expert panel. Guo Gang, Co-General Manager of Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery and Dean of the Research Institute, presented the project report at the meeting.

The expert panel carefully listened to the report of the Zoomlion project team and reviewed the submitted evaluation materials. After questioning, answering, and discussion, the expert panel unanimously agreed that the whole-machine hybrid travel motor drive technology and the electric drive architecture for the header, threshing, and cleaning devices developed by the project can significantly reduce the fuel consumption and failure rate of the harvester and improve operating efficiency. The overall technical level is domestically leading, and it has reached the international advanced level in hybrid energy saving and adaptive coordinated control.

On-site operation verification of the hybrid intelligent grain combine harvester

The "hybrid intelligent grain combine harvester" is positioned to address shortcomings in the reliability, intelligence, energy conservation, and environmental protection of grain harvesting in China. Zoomlion has focused on scientific research challenges such as the distributed motor direct-drive power architecture, multi-motor coordinated adaptive control technology, energy management control technology, AI perception, and AI intelligent operation, and has carried out concentrated research and innovation over more than three years. It has laid out a series of related core patents. It is not only a typical example of the cross-sector integration and development of construction machinery and new energy technologies, but also an important landmark scientific and technological achievement reflecting the transformation and upgrading of China's agricultural machinery equipment toward "green, intelligent, and digital" development. It provides an important reference for China's agricultural machinery equipment to achieve leapfrog development and will strongly promote the quality improvement and upgrading of China's agricultural machinery industry.
