Abstract

In the realm of high-speed precision broadcasting, the existing seeder opener proves inadequate for the speed of the seeding operation. We focus on the duckbill opener and employ the quadratic regression orthogonal rotation combination test design method to optimize the structural parameters of the opener. Throughout the experiment, the primary performance metrics encompassed the opener’s working resistance and the side dumping distance. The selected experimental factors comprised the penetration angle, the angle of soil entry gap, the shovel body width, and the shovel length. The optimal arrangement of structural parameters has been determined: a penetration angle, a soil entry gap angle, a shovel body width of 21 mm, and a shovel length of 142 mm. These parameters contribute to increased velocity, reduced operational resistance, and minimal soil disturbance. Under this combination, the relative deviations between the recorded measurements and the theoretical outcomes for working resistance and the side dumping distance stand at 4.24% and 1.06%, respectively; these confirm the credibility of the optimization results. We performed adaptability testing and conducted a comparative analysis under various operational conditions to assess the innovative opener’s ability to reduce force, minimize soil disruption, and maintain depth stability. The findings are as follows: At a depth of 5 cm and velocities ranging from 6 km/h to 8 km/h, an average working resistance reduction of 19.73%, a 5.64% decrease in the side dumping distance, and an average depth stability of 89.5% were observed. When operated at a speed of 7 km/h with a depth ranging from 3 cm to 5 cm, an average reduction of 19.66% in operational resistance, a 2.59% decrease in the side dumping distance, and an average depth stability of 91.1% were recorded. These results illustrate the innovative opener’s capacity to significantly reduce working resistance and side dumping distance while satisfying the depth stability requisites.
