description In this study, in order to achieve accurate detection of grain loss during the process of combine harvester harvesting, a piezoelectric-based grain loss sensor has been developed. The sensor utilizes a double-layer circular piezoelectric ceramic sheet as its sensitive element. When different grains come into contact with the sensitive element, the piezoelectric effect of the ceramic sheet generates corresponding charges. These charges are then converted into knock charge signals through a charge amplification signal processing circuit that has been specially designed for this purpose. The harsh operating conditions of the sensor, including the presence of significant vibration and noise interference, necessitate the incorporation of a double-layer vibration-damping structure in both the top and bottom layers of the sensor. This paper seeks to analyze the vibration-damping effect of various shock-absorbing materials and structures incorporated into the sensor. This is accomplished by creating a dynamic analysis model that accounts for vibration interference. Furthermore, an experimental bench is established for the purpose of verifying the vibration-damping test results. These tests demonstrate that the utilization of a properly selected vibration-damping structure and materials can effectively eliminate mechanical vibration and noise interference. This, in turn, leads to improved detection accuracy of charge signals after knocking and enhances the overall anti-interference ability of the sensor.
