Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural tillage machinery equipment, in particular to a crab claw imitating resistance reducing deep scarification shovel design. BACKGROUND

[0002] Deep scarification is an important soil tillage technology in modern agriculture. Through deep scarification shovels and other special components, deep scarification can effectively break the hardpan and compact plough bottom layer, improve soil structure permeability, promote water infiltration and root growth, and create favorable conditions for high yield. As the core touch component, the shovel tip area is prone to blade wear and structural deformation due to long-term contact with hard soil, resulting in increased tillage energy consumption and increased mechanical failure rate. Therefore, reducing the soil tillage resistance of deep scarification shovels, reducing the wear of deep scarification shovel tips, and prolonging the service life of deep scarification shovels are urgent problems in deep scarification technology.

[0003] The crab claw limb has a unique streamline profile and clamping force distribution mechanism formed in long-term evolution. The arc curvature of the outer edge can disperse the excavation resistance. This biomechanical characteristic enables crabs to not only penetrate dense soil layers but also to direct the throwing of soil along a specific trajectory, greatly reducing energy consumption. Therefore, applying crab claw curves to deep scarification shovel tip design has a strong theoretical basis.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN115735436A, which was applied for by the applicant in 2022, is a bionic deep scarification shovel based on the lateral profile curve of the golden chrysalis head, which can reduce the average horizontal tillage resistance of deep scarification by 11.33%, which is beneficial to energy saving.

[0021] In this embodiment, the soil-contacting working surface 202 is obtained by proportionally enlarging and stretching the outline curve of a crab claw. The specific process is as follows: two marked dots are made on the crab claw, the actual distance between the two points is recorded, a photo of the crab claw outline is taken, and the image is imported into AutoCAD software. The dimensions between the two marked points are marked, and the entire image is scaled proportionally. The scaling ratio is the ratio of the actual dimension between the two marked points to the marked dimension. Points are plotted on the scaled crab claw outline, and then curve fitting is performed using Excel software. The curve equation Y1 obtained by fitting is: In the formula, the value of X1 ranges from 2596mm to 2685mm. The crab claw contour curve obtained by fitting is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the two endpoints of the curve is L0.

The drag-reducing plate 301 in the wing shovel 3 is 4mm thick and has an S-shaped edge, which guides the soil and helps to reduce tillage resistance.
