Abstract

Abstract: The practice of gathering a mature crop from the fields is known as harvesting. In most parts of the globe, automated combine harvesters are utilized to harvest crops. These autonomous harvesters are not appropriate for farmers with tiny plots of land, usually less than 2-3 acres. As a result, it is critical to create the tiny harvester, which is significantly less expensive and more accessible to small-scale farmers. Cutting blades for these tiny harvesters currently on the market have issues with high cutting resistance, high energy consumption, and poor cut quality. A bionic blade was designed by extracting the cutting teeth profile curve of the beetle palate using bionics concepts. The analysis of designed bionic blade was carried out using Ansys software. The result showed that the total deformation and stresses on bionic blade was less than the ordinary blade. Keywords: harvester, cutting blade, bionic, deformation, stresses
