Abstract
Oil peony is an important oil crop, which has high quality and oil content. In order to improve the cutting quality and harvest efficiency of oil peony, the cutting equipment of the pruning machine and harvester is a key component. Also, the accurate prediction of cutting force of oil peony stalk is one of the essential processes for the design of the cutting equipment. In this article, to accurately predicted the cutting force of the stalk, the physical property parameters and chemical components were considered as influencing factors, which were used to establish the model of mechanical property parameter of oil peony stalk. The physical property parameters of oil peony stalk included the stalk diameter, internode distance, fresh weight, dry weight, relative moisture content, volume, fresh density, and dry density. The chemical components of the stalk were cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Besides, the modeling methods, which were the partial least squares regression (PLSR), principal component analysis (PCA) couple with multiple linear regression (MLR), and grey relational analysis (GRA) couple with MLR, were used to optimize the multiple parameters (physical property parameters and chemical components). The results showed that the internode distance and relative moisture content had significant effects on the cutting force of oil peony stalk. The R c 2 and R p 2 values of the GRA (0.5) + MLR method were 0.801 and 0.820, and RMSEC and RMSEP values were 2.862N and 4.715N, respectively. Consequently, the GRA + MLR method could be used to predict the cutting force of oil peony stalk, which was an important basis for the design of precision cutting equipment.
