Abstract

The cross-slot opener is a new type of seeding opener. The sweep angle, which is a key structural parameter of the cross knife, has an important influence on soil disturbance. In this paper, discrete element method and tracer method are used to study the conditions of working speed of 0.83m/s and ditching depth of 130mm, the sweep angles of the transverse knife are 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, respectively. The influence of time opener on soil disturbance and working resistance. The simulation analysis of the operation process of the cross groove opener shows that the trenching process under different sweep angles of the transverse knife is basically the same, and the standing knife is the main cause of soil disturbance; both the tracer method and the simulation results show the surface and shallow soil particle disturbance. The proportional and horizontal working resistance first decrease and then increase with the increase of the sweep angle of the cross-slot opener. When the sweep angle of the cross-slot opener is 20°, the micro-disturbance of soil particles and the horizontal work resistance are the least; The relative error of the soil disturbance ratio obtained by the tracer method and the discrete element method are both within 15%, and the relative error of the horizontal working resistance is 6.5%. The established discrete element simulation model can more accurately simulate the soil disturbance process of the cross-slot opener.
