Theoretical and Empirical Analysis on Influence Factors of Modern Agricultural Equipment Level in the Processof Agricultural Sustainable Development

To promote modem agricultural equipment level is one characteristic of constructing and developing modem agriculture in China. This paper makes up stepwise linear regression analysis model of influence factors of modem agricultural equipment level, and chooses rural labor, per capita income of rural residents, rural investment, proportion of people at secondary education level and at higher level in per hundred rural labor force and arable land area as independent variables, and total power of machine as induced variable. The major results show that the relativity of modem ag- ricultural equipment level, rural investment and education level of peasants is remarkable, and they are the major influence factors of modem agricultural equipment level. Raising investment level of rural infrastructure construction as well as and research and devel- opment and promotion of advanced and applicable modem agricultural equipment, improving quality and education level of peasants can accelerate the development of China＇s modern agricultural equipment effectively in the process of agricultural sustainable development.

China National Research Center of Intelligent Equipment for Agriculture

China National Research Center of Intelligent Equipment for Agriculture （NRCIEA） was established in 2009 on the basis of Beijing Research Center of Intelligent Equipment for Agriculture. According to the development trend of world Intelligent Equipment for Agriculture （lEA） and China＇s needs of modern agriculture, NRCIEA is engaged in solving the key, fundamental and common technical problems in lEA.

Key technologies and applications of agricultural energy Internet for agricultural planting and fisheries industry

Energy consumption in the agricultural sector is significant,reaching 20%of the total energy consumption in China.Agricultural Energy Internet,an important extension of Energy Internet in the agricultural field,significantly contributes to agricultural modernization.Key technologies of Agricultural Energy Internet are vital factors supporting its development.This article systematically reviews the key technologies of Agricultural Energy Internet for two areas:agriculture and fishery.The working mechanisms and power consumption characteristics of some state-of-the-art new-energy agricultural intelligent equipment are described.In addition,the principles and profit methods underlying the agro-industrial complementary operation model are introduced.Moreover,against the Agricultural Energy Internet background,the development trends of some state-of-theart new energy agricultural intelligent equipment,agro-industrial complementary,and carbon–neutral technology are proposed in this paper,providing novel perspectives on the promotion of the development of Agricultural Energy Internet and related technological innovation research.An unmanned farm is the main form of the future agricultural system,which is powered by the Agricultural Energy Internet based on smart agriculture and a smart grid.It will become the inevitable trend of modern agriculture to replace oil agriculture with electric farms.The electricity in farming is mainly generated by renewable energy.Renewable energy power generation has low carbon emissions and is the future direction for the development of agricultural energy systems.In addition,the Internet of Things will be further strengthened to realize automation and intelligence of agricultural energy systems。

Comfort evaluation and position parameter optimization of the steering wheel in agricultural machinery based on a three-level evaluation index system

The aim of this study is to evaluate the comfort and optimize the position parameters of steering wheel.Taking the H point of driver as the reference point,three position parameters of steering wheel were determined,which were used as experimental factors.A comprehensive evaluation index system of the comfort was established.The comfort range and optimal levels of three parameters were determined by a single factor test,based on which a response surface optimization and validation test was carried out.The optimization and validation test results show that the expected comprehensive score of the comfort is 0.864,and the average relative error between the predicted and the measured value is 4.18%,indicating that the optimization results are reliable.The findings can provide reference for the comfort optimization design of steering wheel in agricultural devices.
