In order to realize the mechanized transplanting of rice pot seedling and ensure our food security, The pitch curve of non-circular gear is fitted based on cubic, non-uniform and rational B-spline curve. The planetary gear train transplanting mechanism has been invented for ride type, and kinematics mathematical model has been built through the kinematics analysis of transplanting mechanism. The computer aided analytical and optimized software has been developed by using software platform of Matlab. Through tuning the data points by man-machine interaction, pitch curve of non-circular gear is optimized and structural parameters are obtained, which can meet the demand of track and attitude in the transplanting process for rice pot seedling. In condition of the parameters, the correctness of the established model is verified by the virtual experiment by software of Adams.

Abstract It has been challenging to design seedling pick-up mechanism based on given key points and trajectories, because it involves dimensional synthesis and rod length optimization. In this paper, the dimensional synthesis of seedling pick-up mechanism with planetary gear train was studied based on the data of given key points and the trajectory of the endpoint of seedling pick-up mechanism. Given the positions and orientations requirements of the five key points, the study first conducted a dimensional synthesis of the linkage size and center of rotation. The next steps were to select a reasonable solution and optimize the data values based on the ideal seedling trajectory. The link motion was driven by the planetary gear train of the two-stage gear. Four pitch curves of noncircular gears were obtained by calculating and distributing the transmission ratio according to the data. For the pitch curve with two convex points, the tooth profile design method of incomplete noncircular gear was applied. The seedling pick-up mechanism was tested by a virtual prototype and a physical prototype designed with the obtained parameter values. The results were consistent with the theoretical design requirements, confirming that the mechanism meets the expected requirements for picking seedlings up. This paper presents a new design method of vegetable pot seedling pick-up mechanism for an automatic vegetable transplanter.

A kind of active balancer using planetary gear train was developed as a solution for dynamic balancing, aiming to balance the mechanisms actively and bring little changes to their original structure and motion. It consists of a two-DOF planetary gear train and a controllable motor. One of the two inputs doubles as the output, connected to the machine to be balanced. The other input is driven by the control motor. The conceptual design of the proposed balancer was discussed. Taking one scheme as example, design procedure of the balancer was introduced. Numerical examples were given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed balancer. The results showed that much more flexibility on the dynamic performance under different working conditions were achieved by selecting suitable input speed trajectories and structural parameters of the planetary gear train of the active balancer.

The operation effectiveness of multi-bar transplanting mechanisms is low, and the specific changing law of the transmission ratio (the curve of the transmission ratio has twice unequal amplitude [TUA] fluctuation.), which is needed in vegetable pot seedling transplanting, is difficult to fulfill using a planetary gear train with noncircular gears and a single-planet carrier. To address this problem, we propose a noncircular gear pair that comprises an incomplete noncircular gear, rack, partial noncircular gear, and elliptical gear. The structural characteristics and the working principle of the TUA gear pair were analyzed. The pitch curve equation of the noncircular TUA gears was derived from the relationship of the angular displacement of the corresponding pitch curves. The influence of central angle α and eccentricity k on the shape of the pitch curve, angular displacement, and transmission ratio of the TUA gear pair was analyzed. The TUA gear pair was applied to a proposed vegetable seedling pickup mechanism (SPM) considering the design requirements. Finally, the feasibility of the new noncircular TUA gear transmission mechanism was verified by an SPM test.

An improved interpolation method is presented based on B-spline curve back calculation which regards data points as control points. First, a B-spline surface reconstruction is done, and a favorable condition for real-time interpolation can be provided for NC machining. Then, by prejudging the trajectory feedrate, the tangent vectors of spline curve junction can be calculated, which can be used to establish the spline curve equations based on time. At last, with the equations mentioned above, the trajectory and feedrate profile can be generated simultaneously by the improved interpolation algorithm. An error analysis is also discussed and the feasibility of the improved algorithm is verified by the simulation results.

This paper introduces a new method to compute the approximating explicit B-spline curve to a given set of noisy data points. The proposed method computes all parameters of the B-spline fitting curve of a given order. This requires to solve a difficult continuous, multimodal, and multivariate nonlinear least-squares optimization problem. In our approach, this optimization problem is solved by applying the firefly algorithm, a powerful metaheuristic nature-inspired algorithm well suited for optimization. The method has been applied to three illustrative real-world engineering examples from different fields. Our experimental results show that the presented method performs very well, being able to fit the data points with a high degree of accuracy. Furthermore, our scheme outperforms some popular previous approaches in terms of different fitting error criteria.
