Lanjiang’s solution is different. It differs significantly from common range-extender solutions on the market. Range-extender electric vehicles are widely used. Lanjiang’s orchard robot, however, uses a unique diesel range-extender power system. The company’s research team developed it independently. This shows originality and leadership. So, what makes Lanjiang’s solution special compared to familiar range-extender solutions?
Pioneering Low-Horsepower Diesel Range-Extender Solution:
Firstly, agricultural settings commonly utilize diesel engines for equipment like tractors and harvesters. This preference is primarily based on two factors. Firstly, agricultural tasks often involve heavy physical labor, necessitating the use of various machinery on unpaved surfaces for activities like tilling, sowing, and soil loosening.
Diesel engines, with their low-speed high-torque characteristics, are more suitable for such agricultural operations compared to gasoline engines, which typically deliver high-speed low-torque performance. Secondly, gasoline purchase requires identification and has quantity limitations, making diesel more convenient for storage.
Given these considerations, Lanjiang opted for a proprietary diesel range-extender power system, becoming the first enterprise in China to practically apply range-extender technology to low-horsepower diesel vehicles.
Low-Voltage Electronic Control Solution for Enhanced Safety:
While new energy vehicles commonly adopt high-voltage electronic control schemes, the complex environments of agriculture, particularly spray operations where liquids can conduct electricity, pose safety challenges for high-voltage systems.
In summary, Lanjiang’s orchard robot, powered by a diesel range-extender system, features proprietary and controllable core technology that leads domestically. With its high technical difficulty and barriers, it stands as the sole technical choice for the commercialization and widespread adoption of orchard robot products currently available.
