Automatic Corn Potted-Seedling Transplanter of Cycloid Gear Trains
On the basis of the existing potted-seedling transplanting mechanism, a new type of transplanter,a automatic rotary potted seedling transplanter of "Cycloid gear train" was proposed .The trajectory and posture were analyzed while the corn potted seedling was transplanted, the principle and characteristics of the transplanter were demonstrated, the kinematics model was established, and the equation of (anglar) displacement, (anglar ) velocity, and (anglar) acceleration were deduced. Based on above research results, the transplanters computer aided software was developed with Visual Basic6.0, then the structural parameters were calculated which could meet the work requirement . Before the prototype is designed, the feasibility of the structure can be proved through the test of the software, and then the final data would be got: α1=334°, α2=0°, α3=66°, α4=-40°,α5=90°,α6=110°,l1=106mm,l2=187mm.Two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings were drawn according to above data; the designed model was simulated by ADAMS, the trajectory and posture that meet the work requirements were verified, too.
