Nowadays, agricultural robots are becoming the core driving force for industrial upgrading. As a global pioneer in the field, Lanjiang Technology has been testing the limits of technology through actual combat. In early spring of this year, the newly upgraded S500Pro and S1000 orchard multifunctional robots were the first to arrive at Hainan’s 1,000 acres of lychee plantations, and successfully completed hundreds of hours of uninterrupted durability testing in a harsh environment of an average of 35 ℃ high temperature and 85% humidity.
Subsequently, in April and May, it was transferred to the 10,000 mu apple base in Suqian, Jiangsu Province. The product was further tested for durability and functionality under the day-night temperature difference and dust environment unique to the Yellow River Road production area. This “extreme challenge” across the north and south has set a new benchmark of reliability for the intelligentization of agricultural equipment through multiple rounds of data precipitation in real scenarios.
First, the test of agricultural robots in extreme environments
System Stability Challenge
High temperature and high humidity can easily lead to thermal expansion, aging and even short-circuit of electronic components, and the electrical connection parts also face the risk of moisture oxidation. Engineers focused on monitoring the response performance of the main control system, navigation module, communication links and various types of sensors. Long-term continuous operation verified the accuracy of data collection, consistency of command execution and stability of remote control under constant high temperature.
Component Thermal Management Tests
In order to fully grasp the thermal management capability of the equipment under extreme working conditions, the team conducted temperature rise tests on several key components such as the engine, supercapacitor, traveling motor, water pump motor, fan motor and drive, and reducer. High-load operations are prone to localized overheating, which affects life and efficiency. Engineers utilize professional equipment to record the temperature trend in real time, and combine it with embedded sensor data for cross-comparison to assess the effectiveness of the cooling system design and heat dissipation path.
High-load performance verification
Close to the actual application, the test team simulated the continuous spraying of pesticides and other high-load operation scenarios. The robot not only needs to carry its own weight, but also needs to cope with frequent up and down slopes and bumpy road conditions. By analyzing key indicators such as power consumption and trajectory accuracy, the comprehensive performance of the robot was verified under high-intensity operations.
Currently, the field test is still ongoing. For Lanjiang Technology, testing is far more than a staged task, it is an engine for continuous improvement – every test is an in-depth scrutiny of the product, and every piece of data provides a precise guide for the future direction. Only through continuous testing and optimization can we forge a high-quality agricultural robot that truly meets the market demand.
In the future, Lanjiang will continue to uphold the concept of “user-centered”, and continue to improve the technical strength and product quality.
