Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically relating to a disc stubble breaking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] One of the key technologies of conservation tillage is no-till seeding, which involves leaving the land untilled and covering it with straw. This protects the soil and increases soil organic matter, but it can easily cause clogging of the machinery during seeding. Therefore, most no-till seeders on the market now have a straw clearing device in front of them. The most widely used stubble cutting devices include corrugated discs, flat discs, and notched discs. Corrugated discs have strong stubble breaking capabilities and are especially suitable for fields with a lot of stubble. The wavy blade design effectively reduces weed entanglement and loosens the soil well, but also causes significant soil disturbance. The flat disc blade has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. It relies primarily on the seeder's own weight and sharp blade to cut stubble, causing minimal soil disturbance, but exhibits greater slippage and poorer stubble cutting performance. The notched disc blade is also suitable for fields with abundant stubble; it cuts stubble well, but the notch is prone to wear, resulting in a shorter lifespan. While the notched disc blade has less slippage than the flat disc blade, it may miss some cuts. Therefore, a blade with strong cutting power and minimal soil disturbance needs to be designed to address the technical problems of existing technologies for stubble cutting.

The right end of the coupling flange I 9 of the biomimetic slag-breaking blade assembly B is fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting shaft II 20 of the small bevel gear assembly F.

[0010] The left end of the coupling flange II16 of the auxiliary slag-breaking blade assembly D is interference-fitted with the inner ring of the bearing III6b of the V-block A, and the pulley I1 is fixedly connected to the middle of the coupling flange II16. The pulley I1 and the pulley II3 are connected by the belt 2. The large bevel gear 17 of the large bevel gear assembly E meshes with the small bevel gear 19 of the small bevel gear assembly F.

[0011] The biomimetic stubble-breaking blade 8 has a magnification factor of 1 / 50, a blade diameter of 425-430mm, and an outer contour curve of the blade teeth consisting of a tip curve ab, a strong cutting edge curve bc, a cutting edge curve cd, and a smooth transition, connecting at the notch arc. The origin of the coordinate system is the center of the blade.

[0012] The mathematical expression for the cutting edge curve ab is:

[0013] y=280-67.64cos(0.25x) +83.67×sin(0.25x) + 1.658×cos(2×0.2x) +30.38×sin(2×0.25x);

[0014] Where: the value of x is -48≤x≤-36; if calculated in mm, the value of x is -0.96≤x≤-0.72mm;

[0015] The mathematical expression for the strong cutting edge curve bc is:

[0016] y=9.72x6 -2.39x5+2.53x4 + 0.908x3 + 0.049x2 +0.49x + 67.5;

[0017] Where: the value of x is -36≤x≤-8, and if calculated in mm, the value of x is -0.72≤x≤-0.16mm;

[0018] The mathematical expression for the cutting edge curve cd is:

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The disc-shaped stubble-breaking mechanism of this invention uses the grub as a biomimetic model, analyzes its mandible cutting tooth structure and applies it to the design of the stubble-breaking knife, thereby enhancing its cutting ability; moreover, its structure is simple, its cutting performance is good, it can effectively reduce cutting resistance, and makes the stubble-breaking knife less prone to wear during long-term use, thus extending its service life. While the biomimetic stubble-breaking knife enters the soil to cut the stubble, it is driven to rotate by a differential speed mechanism. While its tip rotates forward, due to the speed difference, compared to the rapid rotation of the biomimetic stubble-breaking knife, the auxiliary stubble-breaking knife rotates at a lower speed. The speed difference between the two allows the hooked tip of the auxiliary stubble-breaking knife to better exert a backward pulling force on the stubble while working, effectively reducing the forward slippage rate of the corn stubble when the biomimetic stubble-breaking knife is cutting corn stubble, thus enabling the biomimetic stubble-breaking knife to break the stubble more effectively.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the V-shaped frame A consists of a left plate 4, a top plate 5, a right plate 6, and a bottom plate 7. The front ends of the left plate 4 and the right plate 6 are fixed at a 60-degree angle.

The perforated upright plate 10, the upper plate 11, the telescopic cylinder 12, and the lower plate 14 are arranged in order from top to bottom. The spring 13 is sleeved on the telescopic cylinder 12. The upper plate 11 and the lower plate 14 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the telescopic cylinder 12, respectively.

[0041] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the auxiliary stubble-breaking blade assembly D consists of an auxiliary stubble-breaking blade 15 and a coupling flange II 16, with the right end of the coupling flange II 16 screwed to the center of the back of the auxiliary stubble-breaking blade 15.

[0042] like Figure 10 As shown, the large bevel gear assembly E consists of a large bevel gear 17 and a connecting shaft I 18, with the left end of the connecting shaft I 18 fixed to the center of the back side of the large bevel gear 17.

[0043] like Figure 11As shown, the small bevel gear assembly F consists of a small bevel gear 19 and a connecting shaft II 20, with the right end of the connecting shaft II 20 fixed to the center of the back side of the small bevel gear 19.

[0044] As shown in Figure 12, the four points “a”, “b”, “c”, and “d” in the biomimetic slag-breaking blade are the starting and ending points of the tip curve ab, the strong cutting edge curve bc, and the cutting edge curve cd.

[0045] This invention selects the mandible of a grub as a biological model. A laser confocal microscope is used to scan the overall outline of the grub's mandible. After scanning, multiple sets of two-dimensional planar contours within a selected height range are obtained. The obtained two-dimensional contours are compared on a computer, and the optimal contour that best reflects the structural characteristics of the grub's mandible is selected and marked. The image is exported as a TIF image. Using Matlab software, commands are written to extract the grub's contour feature curves. After extraction, the edge contour curves are segmented, discarding the non-working area of ​​the grub's mandible. The working area is divided into three curve segments, and the point coordinates are exported to Excel. The cftool toolbox is used to fit the three extracted feature curves. When the order satisfies the coefficient of determination R... 2 When the value is greater than 0.95, the smallest order is selected to obtain a more ideal feature fitting curve. The equations for the three resulting contour fitting curves are as follows:

[0046] Based on the extracted curve equation, after simplification, use the New Sketch command in Solidworks 2022, select the Equation-Driven Curve command, determine the coordinate system and the coordinates of the curve endpoints, and generate a curve sketch. The resulting biomimetic stubble-breaking blade 8 has a magnification factor of 1 / 50.

[0047] The expression for the tip curve ab is:

[0048] y=280-67.64cos(0.25x) +83.67×sin(0.25x) + 1.658×cos(2×0.2x) +30.38×sin(2×0.25x)

[0049] Where: the value of x ranges from -48 to -36; if calculated in mm, the value of x ranges from -0.96 to -0.72 mm.

[0050] The expression for the strong cutting edge curve bc is:

[0051] y=9.72x6 -2.39x5+2.53x4 + 0.908x3 + 0.049x2 +0.49x + 67.5

[0052] Where x takes values ​​in the range of -36 ≤ x ≤ -8, and if calculated in mm, then x takes values ​​in the range of -0.72 ≤ x ≤ -0.16 mm.

[0053] The expression for the cutting edge curve cd is:

[0054] y=1.091x6 -7.308x5 +1.764x4 -0.18x3 +0.071x2 +0.67x + 128.88

[0055] Where x takes values ​​in the range of -8 ≤ x ≤ 24, and if calculated in mm, then x takes values ​​in the range of -0.16 ≤ x ≤ 0.48 mm.

[0056] In this invention, the auxiliary stubble-breaking blade 15 has a barbed tooth profile with a diameter of 360mm. The difference between its diameter and that of the bionic stubble-breaking disc is approximately the height of the exposed and buried parts of the corn stubble. During movement, it basically does not penetrate the soil. While the bionic stubble-breaking disc cuts the stubble in the soil, it is driven to rotate through a differential speed mechanism. As its tip rotates forward, due to the differential speed, the auxiliary stubble-breaking disc rotates at a lower speed compared to the rapid rotation of the bionic stubble-breaking disc. The speed difference between the two allows the tip of the barbed profile to better exert a backward pulling force on the stubble while the auxiliary stubble-breaking disc is working, enabling the bionic stubble-breaking disc to break the stubble more effectively.

[0057] In this invention, the pitch circle diameter of the small bevel gear is 60≤d1≤62mm and the cone angle is 30 degrees; the pitch circle diameter of the large bevel gear is 120≤d2≤122mm and the cone angle is 30 degrees; the modules are equal and the pressure angles are equal. The meshing method of the two bevel gears is oblique transmission, the shaft intersection angle is 120 degrees, and the transmission ratio is 2:1.
