Abstract
In this paper, the collector is designed for electric sugarcane leaves returning field machine. According to the working principles of the collector and the moving trace rules of collecting components, we confirm the important structural parameters of the collector by using the ADAMS software for motion simulation optimization, including the rotor radius, crank length, the locus curve in the center of cam disc slide and et al. The ADAMS software is used for simulating the movement of the collector with different combinations of two factors (the forward speed of machine and rotate speed of roller plate), and we can obtain the results about the angular acceleration at the end of collecting components and the leakage area per meter. The data obtained from the simulation test is analyzed by Central Composite Design (CCD) with the aim of assessing the best working parameter combination on low leakage rate. The best parameter combination of two variables are determine, i.e., the forward speed is v=0.4 m/s, and the rotate speed is ω=49.41 rpm. The sum area of leakage area is 26.95cm2/m, and the largest angular acceleration at the end of collecting components is 200 rad/s2. The collector based on the theoretical design results is produced, and it would be tested in the forward speed of v=0.4 m/s, and rotate speed of ω=50 rpm for analyzing its performance. The test results show that the collecting effect of the collector is well, and the leakage rate is 2.93 %, which can be up to the requirement of agricultural technical index. The collector can complete the collecting work of the sugarcane leaves returning field machine.
