Description:BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an agricultural machine.
Description of Related Art
[002] Agriculture has been a primitive task of human beings since a beginning of humanity. Agriculture supports the backbone and provides livelihood to a majority of the population in society. Agriculture involves tasks such as land preparation, sowing of seeds, watering harvest, harvesting of crops, and so forth. If all the tasks are performed at a small level, then human labor is justified. However, when these tasks outgrow where human labor is inefficient and unjustified, then a call for leveraging technology becomes imperative.
[003] Additionally, many agricultural tasks are not fixed; they are dynamic and depend on various factors like land and weather conditions, as well as the type of crops being cultivated. Meeting these demands requires specific and suitable farm machines. However, the existing farm machines pose challenges. Firstly, skilled personnel are essential for their operation. Furthermore, these machines are not universally adaptable to all types of crops and terrains. The machines suitable for a narrow field may not serve well in a broad field, and there is also a lack of adjustability based on varying conditions. This creates a need for more flexible and versatile agricultural solutions.
[004] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced agricultural machine that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.

In such an embodiment of the present invention, thresholds of the analyzed conditions may be different for the classification of the first set of attributes, and the second set of attributes. Upon classification of the analyzed conditions into the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes. The first set of attributes and the second set of attributes may be transmitted to the signal transmission module 204.
[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, the signal transmission module 204 may be activated upon receipt of either, or both of the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes from the data analysis module 202.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the signal transmission module 204 may be activated upon receipt of the first set of attributes, then the signal transmission module 204 may only transmit a first manipulation signal, and no second manipulation signal may be transmitted from the signal transmission module 204. In another embodiment of the present invention, if the signal transmission module 204 may be activated upon receipt of the second set of attributes, then the signal transmission module 204 may only transmit a second manipulation signal, and no first manipulation signal may be transmitted from the signal transmission module 204.
[0058] In yet another embodiment of the present invention, if the signal transmission module 204 may be activated upon receipt of the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes, then the signal transmission module 204 may transmit the first manipulation signal and the second manipulation signal respectively.
[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, the signal transmission module 204 may be configured to transmit the first manipulation signal, based on the first set of attributes, for triggering the first actuator 130 to enable an adjustment of the ploughs 124. According to embodiments of the present invention, the adjustment of the ploughs 124 may be adjustments such as, but not limited to, a distance between the ploughs 124, a height of the ploughs 124, a length of the ploughs 124, a width of the ploughs 124, and so forth. Embodiments of the present invention are intended to include or otherwise cover any adjustments that may be performed in the ploughs 124, including known, related art, and/or later developed technologies.
[0060] In another embodiment of the present invention, the signal transmission module 204 may be configured to transmit the second manipulation signal, based on the second set of attributes, for triggering the second actuator 132 to enable an adjustment of the idler wheels 116 and the field support wheels 118. According to embodiments of the present invention, the adjustment of the idler wheels 116 and the field support wheels 118 may be adjustments such as, but not limited to, a distance between the idler wheels 116 and/or field support wheels 118, a height of the idler wheels 116 and/or field support wheels 118, a length of the idler wheels 116 and/or field support wheels 118, and a width of the idler wheels 116 and/or field support wheels 118, and so forth. Embodiments of the present invention are intended to include or otherwise cover any adjustments that may be performed in the idler wheels 116 and the field support wheels 118, including known, related art, and/or later developed technologies.
[0061] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, if the analyzed condition is related to a soil moisture. A threshold value for categorizing this condition within the first set of attributes, associated with external environmental factors, might be set at a higher value, indicating a tolerance for relatively drier soil conditions. On the other hand, the threshold value for the same soil moisture condition in the second set of attributes, linked to internal farming practices, might be set at a lower value to signal a preference for higher soil moisture levels based on specific crop management strategies. These differing threshold values may impact the decision-making process of the machine 100. For instance, if the soil moisture level surpasses the threshold set for the first set of attributes, the machine 100 may trigger the transmission of the first manipulation signal. This signal, based on the first set of attributes, may then prompt the first actuator 130 to enable the adjustment of the ploughs 124. Simultaneously, if the soil moisture level crosses the threshold set for the second set of attributes, then the machine 100 may transmit the second manipulation signal. This signal, based on the second set of attributes, may then activate the second actuator 132 to facilitate the adjustment of the idler wheels 116 and the field support wheels 118, according to the embodiments of the present invention.
[0062] FIG. 3 depicts a flowchart of a method 300 for ploughing the agricultural land using the machine 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0063] At step 302, the machine 100 may receive the detected conditions from the sensors 108.
[0064] At step 304, the machine 100 may analyze the received conditions and classify the analyzed conditions into the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes.
[0065] At step 306, the machine 100 may transmit the first manipulation signal, based on the first set of attributes, for triggering the first actuator 130 to enable the adjustment of the ploughs 124.
[0066] At step 308, the machine 100 may transmit the second manipulation signal, based on the second set of attributes, for triggering the second actuator 132 to enable the adjustment of the idler wheels 116 and the field support wheels 118.
