文摘Research interest in pneumatic conveying technologies in processes such as peanut harvesting and shelling has grown rapidly in recent years.However,the use of pneumatic conveyors in this application suffers from high pod damage rates and duct obstruction.To address these issues,we analyzed the critical speed of pneumatic transport for conveying the peanut pods and measured the angle of friction and coefficient of restitution of peanut pods on a variety of material surfaces.Based on the results of these tests,optimizations and improvements were made to the separator bowl,air supply duct,and conveying duct.A pneumatic conveying experiment was then performed using peanut pods.In the factorial experiment,it was found that increases in fan speed increase the pod damage rate and transport efficiency,while increases in the thickness of the cushioning/anti-obstruction layer decrease the rate of pod damage and transport efficiency.Pod damage rates were significantly affected by fan speed,the thickness of the cushioning/obstruction prevention layer,and interaction between these factors,while transport efficiency was only significantly affected by fan speed.It is proved by the machine verification test,the optimal parameters for the pneumatic transport of Baisha peanut pods with a moisture content of 7.24%was a fan speed of 2700 r/min and a cushioning/anti-obstruction layer thickness of 6 mm.A pod damage rate of 5.19%and transport efficiency of 92.03%were achieved using these parameters,which are sufficient for meeting the requirements of industrial applications.

文摘At present,there are no harvesters specifically adapted to process peanuts after cutting stalks.In particular,methods for harvesting peanuts after cutting stalks have not been reported thus far.Therefore,to utilize peanut stalks as feed when harvesting plastic-film-grown peanuts,and to improve industry benefits,a three-stage harvesting method is proposed herein.In view of the three-stage harvesting method,the peanut stalks are cut before digging,with the remaining peanut plants being shorter,thereby increasing the peanut pod-stalk ratio.To investigate the adaptabilities of existing harvesters in harvesting peanuts after cutting stalks,three types of peanut harvesters-the self-propelled pick-up combine harvester,trailed pick-up combine harvester,and peanut picker were used to conduct a comparative test on harvesting intact peanut plants and plants after cutting stalks.The loss,breakage and impurity rates were used as evaluation indicators.The loss rates of these three harvesters were 14.64%,16.44%and 1.33%;the breakage rates were 21.28%,21.92%and 20.00%,and impurity rates were 4.60%,8.76%and 9.06%.Analysis of variance showed that cutting stalks had a significant impact on the work qualities of the three harvesters(p<0.05).With regard to the loss rate,results revealed that:the two peanut combine harvesters could not be adapted to harvest peanut plants after cutting stalks.The three harvesters had good adaptability to harvest peanut plants after cutting stalks,considering the breakage rate;however,based on the impurity rate,the three harvesters could not be adapted to harvest peanut plants after cutting stalks.The losses of the two combine harvesters consisted mainly of dropped and missed picking,with the sum of the losses accounting for 99.87%and 97.99%of the total losses of the two harvesters,respectively;this suggests that the drum pickup of the combine harvesters could not adapt to harvesting the peanut after cutting stalks.The breakage rates of the three harvesters were considerably reduced,suggesting that the pod picking devices of the three harvesters were suitable for harvesting the peanut after cutting stalks;the impurity rates of the three harvesters were considerably increased,indicating that the pod picking and cleaning devices of the three harvesters were not suitable for harvesting peanut after cutting stalks.To improve the adaptabilities of the harvesters,it is suggested that the speed of pickup elastic tooth,lateral spacing between adjacent elastic teeth,concave screen hole size of pod picking device,the structure and motion parameters of cleaning device should be optimized.The results of this study provide a reference for the development and improvement of peanut harvesters suitable for harvesting peanuts after the cutting of stalks.

文摘In order to meet the challenge of high loss rate and high tuber injury rate during the operation of the 4UZL-1 sweet potato combine harvester,the sweet potato tuber hand-over lifting mechanism was designed based on a comprehensive analysis of the entire structure of the harvester.Taking the average normal force on conveying sweet potato tubers as evaluation indexes,the EDEM simulation experiment was carried out considering the factors of the angle of the excavating and conveying mechanism,the conveying angle of the scraper chain,the speed of the excavating and conveying mechanism,and the speed of the scraper chain conveying.The experimental findings indicated that the optimal operational performance of the hand-over lifting mechanism was achieved at a speed of 1.15 m/s for the excavating and conveying mechanism,an angle of 24°for the excavating and conveying mechanism,a conveying speed of 0.66 m/s for the scraper chain,and a conveying angle of 60°for the scraper chain.Field experiments were conducted based on the EDEM simulation experiment,using the loss rate and the injury rate of conveying sweet potato tubers as evaluation indexes.The results showed that the hand-over lifting mechanism demonstrated optimal operational effectiveness with an excavating and conveying mechanism angle of 20°,a scraper chain angle of 68°,an excavating and conveying mechanism speed of 1.2 m/s,and a scraper chain speed of 0.66 m/s,while the machine running speed was maintained at 1 m/s.At the moment,the hand-over lifting structure exhibited a loss rate of 1.12%and a tuber injury rate of 0.94%.The conclusions obtained serve as a valuable reference for future research and optimization of sweet potato combines.

文摘Uniform crushed straw throwing and seed-sowing machines can achieve the processes of straw chopping,straw transport,sowing,fertilization,and straw mulching at the same time,which is widely used in many areas of China.Conveying device is one of the important components used to convey,elevate and throw straw.However,the problems of high power consumption and congestion affect the promotion of the machine.Therefore,the conveying device of uniform crushed straw throwing and seed-sowing machine was analyzed in order to determine its device operation mechanism.Kinematic and dynamic analyses of particles of crushed rice straw during lifting and dispersion are used to develop a flexible-body model of rod-shaped and agglomerate-shaped crushed straw and a coupling model including the mechanical structure of the device.By integrating computational fluid dynamics and the discrete element method,the gas-solid coupling theory in numerical simulations and motion analysis of crushed straw particles is used to determine how the flow field and motion characteristics affect the conveying performance.Besides,regression equations to describe the relationships between the factors and each assessment index were established by using the regression analysis and response surface analysis with the software Design-Expert.The effect of throwing blade speed X_(1),conveying volume of crushed straw X_(2),and pipeline diameter X_(3) on the throwing speed of crushed straw Y_(1) and specific power consumption Y2 were investigated.The highest throwing speed of crushed straw and lowest specific power consumption are the optimization goal.The results of optimization showed that the predict the best optimal parameters were 2000 r/min throwing blade rotational speed,1.4 kg/s conveying volume,and 220 mm pipeline diameter,the planter achieved a throwing speed of 12.2 m/s and specific power consumption of 9179 m^(2)/s^(2).And then a field test verification was conducted.The planter achieved a throwing speed 12.4 m/s and specific power consumption 9070 m^(2)/s^(2) while selecting the best optimal parameters.Thus,the optimal parameters can provide a high-performance operation and satisfy the actual operation requirements The results provide a theoretical basis and data support for seeding technology innovation and equipment optimization to ensure uniform crushed straw throwing in dense rice stubble fields.
