The working principle and key components of a chain drive residual film recovery machine were studied. A kinematic analysis of the chain drive soil separation mechanism was completed by applying ADAMS software to obtain the trajectory, displacement, velocity and acceleration of the center of mass of the chain plate link_1 in the x- and y-directions within the effective shaking displacement. A field test of the chain drive separation mechanism was carried out. When the shaking roller was in contact with the chain, the change in speed of the chain in the x- and y-directions was not significant, but the force in the y-direction was conducive to breaking the soil pieces and improving the rate of collecting the residual film. The change in the speed of link_1 in the y-direction speed with x-direction speed explained the action of the separation mechanism on conveying and throwing of the film-soil mixture in the horizontal and vertical directions, which revealed the mechanism of the chain drive film-soil separation equipment. The field test showed that the film collection rate of the chain drive separation mechanism was 68%, and the surface residue was 6%. The test results meet the relevant national and industry standards and design requirements. The results of this study provide guidance for the design and optimization of chain drive film-soil separation equipment.
