Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural tillage machinery technology, specifically a plow with a combined turning and cutting curved surface. Background Technology

[0002] Soil tillage is an indispensable basic operation in agricultural production, playing a crucial role in improving soil structure and regulating the farmland ecological environment. This operation effectively breaks up the plow pan, loosens the soil, enhances soil aeration and water retention capacity, and creates favorable conditions for crop root growth. Simultaneously, turning over the clods buries surface residues, weeds, and pest carriers deeper, reducing pest and disease breeding. However, traditional moldboard plowing relies primarily on the curved surface of the plow body cutting, lifting, and turning over the clods. The continuous surface contact and sliding friction between the plow body and the soil, especially in heavy, compacted soils, leads to a large contact area and strong adsorption, resulting in significantly increased tillage resistance and energy consumption. This places higher demands on the tractor's power system, impacting operational efficiency and economy. Reducing the tillage resistance of the plow body has always been a key focus and challenge in plow design. For example, designing the complete plow body's curved surface as a grid shape reduces frictional resistance by decreasing the contact area; while using biomimetic principles and drawing inspiration from the surface morphology of organisms to design a non-smooth plow surface can reduce sticking under certain conditions, its irregular curved surface still easily attracts soil in wet soil environments, affecting the quality of operation and increasing production costs. Currently, there is still a lack of tillage equipment that can reduce tillage resistance from a mechanistic perspective while ensuring stable tillage depth and good soil penetration. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a combined plow with a turning and cutting surface that offers better turning effect, better soil penetration, stable tillage depth, lower working resistance, and is less prone to clogging.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A combined plow with a curved surface includes a plowstock, a rotating plow body, a plowshare, and plow side plates. The rotating plow body is a concave disc shape, with its back center mounted on the plowstock via a pivot. Multiple arc-shaped notches are evenly distributed along the edge of the rotating plow body. The rotating surface of the rotating plow body forms an angle β with the vertical direction and an angle α with the horizontal forward direction. β ranges from 10° to 14°, and α ranges from 35° to 50°. A plowshare is positioned below the front end of the rotating plow body, smoothly transitioning tangentially to the rotating plow body, with a free gap between them allowing the rotating plow body to rotatably. The front end of the plowshare is pointed, and its rear side is fixed to the plowstock via the plow side plates.

[0006] Furthermore, the edges of the notches on the rotating plow body are ground to form sharp cutting edges.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating plow body surface is formed by rotating and scanning a first circular arc along the central axis, and the curve equation of the first circular arc is:

[0008]

[0009]

[0010] Among them, parameters The range of values ​​for is: Its corresponding chord length is 400mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the curved surface of the plowshare is formed by scanning and cutting with a second circular arc, specifically through the following steps:

[0012] The starting point of the second arc coincides with the ending point of the first arc, and the two arcs are tangent at this connection point; the radius of the second arc changes with the progress of the first arc, and the radius of the first arc increases with the increase of its radian angle. The radius of the second arc increases accordingly. Its curve equation is:

[0013]

[0014]

[0015] in, The second circular arc process parameters are associated with the first circular arc process. The second circular arc is formed by rotating and scanning along the central axis of the rotating plow body to create the plowshare surface.

[0016] Based on the tillage width (L) and tillage depth (H), the orthographic projection profile of the plowshare is designed on one side of the orthographic projection of the rotary plow body. The orthographic projection profile of the plowshare is then cut along the forward direction of the combined plow body to obtain the plowshare surface.

[0017] Furthermore, the initial value of the radius of the second arc is 1900 mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the plowshare is connected to the mounting base via a pin, and the mounting height is adjustable.

[0019] Furthermore, the mounting base is connected to the external plow frame via a U-shaped buckle.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. This invention uses a fixed plowshare to enter the soil first, which cuts, lifts and initially loosens the soil clods, ensuring the stability of the tillage depth.

[0022] 2. This invention employs a rotary tillage plow. The soil, initially loosened by the plowshare, is fed to the rotary tillage plow body at the rear. The plow body passively rotates under the friction of the soil, undergoing secondary crushing and turning. During this process, the force between the soil and the rotary tillage plow body is primarily rolling friction within the bearings, resulting in significantly less resistance than the sliding friction between the soil and the plow body during traditional moldboard plowing, effectively reducing energy consumption. Under normal operating conditions (200mm tillage depth, 2.6km / h operating speed), the average tillage resistance using the combined turning and cutting surface plow is reduced by 25.27% compared to traditional moldboard plows.

[0023] 3. This invention uses a notched rotary tillage plow body and uses a mathematical model to ensure a smooth tangential transition between the plowshare surface and the rotary tillage plow body surface, so that the soil clods can be continuously and smoothly guided and turned, effectively avoiding the problem of soil and weeds clogging the joint.

[0024] 4. This invention adopts a modular and adjustable design. The plowshare is connected to the mounting base via a pin, facilitating quick adjustment of the tillage depth. The mounting base is connected to the plow frame via a U-shaped buckle, making the entire component modular and convenient for installation and replacement.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotatable plow body surface 1 is formed by scanning a first circular arc 101 with a fixed radius and a set of second circular arcs 102 with varying radii. The working surfaces of the rotating plow body 3 and plowshare 9 are formed by scanning the plow body surface 1 through a frontal view. Figure 2 The surface is formed by projection and segmentation; the resulting curved surface is divided into a rotating plow body 3 and a fixed cutting plow 9 by frontal projection according to the designed tillage width and tillage depth. The curved surface formed by rotating and scanning the fixed radius arc segment curve 101 is the segmented rotating plow body 3, and the curved surface formed by rotating and scanning the variable radius arc curve 102 is the fixed cutting plow 9 after segmentation.

[0038] The cutting plowshare 9 of the combined turning surface plow is located at the front of the plow body in the direction of travel and is fixed to the plow column 8 by the plow side plate 10; the rotating turning plow body 3 is connected to the plow column 8 by the bearing seat 11, and smoothly transitions tangentially with the cutting plowshare 9, leaving a free gap for the disc to rotate; the plow column 8 is connected to the mounting base 7 by the pin 5.

[0039] The installation position of the rotary tillage plow 3 must meet two key angle requirements: its rotating surface forms an inclination angle β with the vertical direction, preferably 12° (allowable range 10°~14°); and it forms an angle α with the forward direction, preferably 45° (allowable range 35°~50°). These two angles together determine the tillage effect of the rotary tillage plow 3 and are key parameters for achieving its optimal working efficiency.

[0040] The rotary tillage plow body 3 has notches. These notches are evenly distributed along the circumference of the disc, forming 6-12 serrations. The edges of the notches are ground to form sharp cutting edges, enabling the rotary tillage plow body 3 to actively and cleanly cut and transfer tangled straw, roots, and crop residues during rotation. This makes the combined turning and cutting surface plow suitable for cultivation environments with dense weeds, such as straw-returned fields and pastures, effectively ensuring the continuity and reliability of operations.

[0041] During operation, the tractor pulls the plow frame 4 forward. The plowshare 9 enters the soil first, completing the cutting, clod lifting, and initial loosening of the soil. Subsequently, the loosened clods move along the specific guide surface of the plowshare 9 and are conveyed onto the rotary tillage plow body 3. The rotary tillage plow body 3 is passively rotated under the friction of the clods, further breaking up and throwing the clods, and finally completing the turning and covering. The rotary tillage plow body 3 with a notch design continuously cuts weeds throughout the process to prevent clogging. The entire operation is smooth and efficient, with less resistance than traditional moldboard plows, and provides stable tillage depth and high-quality operation.
