Product Overview
The high‑power range‑extender cotton picker adopts a range‑extended hybrid power architecture. Its engine is dedicated to power generation and does not directly drive travelling and working mechanisms. Combined with a full‑domain electronic intelligent control drive solution, it delivers robust operating power, excellent fuel economy and intelligent operation‑maintenance capabilities, making it suitable for large‑area and high‑intensity cotton harvesting scenarios.
Range‑Extended Hybrid System
The complete machine adopts a range‑extended hybrid configuration. The engine serves solely as a power‑generation unit, while power output is entirely delivered by electric motors. The engine speed automatically adjusts according to field‑operation loads and outputs power on demand. This avoids fuel waste caused by the constant high‑speed operation of conventional models and delivers outstanding fuel‑saving performance.
Under equipment maintenance and commissioning conditions, the all‑electric operating mode can be activated. The engine shuts down to eliminate exhaust gas and noise interference, facilitating safe inspection and troubleshooting for operators.
Intelligent Energy‑Saving Drive System
All key mechanisms of the complete machine are electrically controlled, featuring fast signal transmission, ultra‑rapid power response, and precise and reliable motion control.
Each cotton‑picking head is equipped with an independent electric drive unit. It can individually collect real‑time operating loads of each cotton‑picking head and implement immediate monitoring and early‑warning for abnormal conditions such as stalling, jamming and overload, so as to reduce the risk of component damage.
The vehicle is equipped with an energy‑recovery mechanism. It recycles and reuses energy during deceleration and load‑reduction conditions, achieving dual‑direction energy saving through operational power output and energy regeneration, and further cutting fuel consumption for field operations.
Core Advantages
1. Sufficient power reserve: 350 kW high power and 1900 N·m high torque to support heavy‑load harvesting without speed drop during operations on complex plots.
2. The range‑extended solution enables on‑demand engine speed regulation, resulting in lower comprehensive fuel consumption compared with traditional mechanically‑driven models.
3. Independent electric drive for cotton‑picking heads enables accurate fault‑location and reduces downtime for troubleshooting.
4. All‑electric mode for maintenance delivers safer and more convenient operation and maintenance.
5. Vehicle‑level energy recovery further lowers operating costs.
