Abstract

The development of precision agriculture and smart agriculture has imposed higher requirements on agricultural production, making multi-implement combined operations an inevitable trend. However, the current agricultural implement market is highly fragmented, and the lack of universality and interoperability among different implements severely constrains the flexibility and efficiency of collaborative operations. Focusing on standardized interface design for agricultural implements, this paper first analyzes the technical connotations, current status, and challenges of multi-implement combined operations, identifying interface incompatibility as the primary bottleneck. It then systematically examines the overall architecture of standardized interfaces, elaborating on the design principles, key technologies, and standard specifications of sub-interfaces from four dimensions: mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and information communication. On this basis, a collaborative operation model based on standardized interfaces is constructed. Finally, future development trends toward intelligence, modularization, and platformization are discussed, and corresponding policy recommendations and technical pathways are proposed. The results indicate that establishing and promoting a scientific and unified interface system is critical to enabling multi-implement collaborative operations and is of great significance for the mechanized and intelligent transformation of agriculture.
