Research on adaptive control of impurity and loss rate in rice cleaning by cyclone separation cylinder based on fuzzy PID strategy

Scientific Reports, Published online: 08 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-64043-4 Research on adaptive control of impurity and loss rate in rice cleaning by cyclone separation cylinder based on fuzzy PID strategy

A research project aims to enhance the adaptability of cyclone cleaning and separation cylinders used in rice processing. The study introduces an automatically adjusting method for operational parameters, utilizing multiple sensors and a fuzzy adaptive control strategy. Field experiments demonstrated a reduced impurity content of 2.30% and a loss rate of 1.01%.

The adaptive control system successfully regulated the suction fan's rotational speed, addressing the trade-off between loss rate and impurity content. Financed by the 14th Five Year Plan National Key R&D Program Project, the research was carried out by the College of Agricultural Engineering at Jiangsu University in Zhenjiang, China.
