Device and Method Suitable for Matching and Adjusting Reel Speed and Forward Speed of Multi-Crop Harvesting

Abstract

In order to meet the requirements of multi-crop harvesting, reduce the loss of harvesting, and improve the quality of harvesting, the device and method of matching and adjusting the rotation speed and forward speed of the pulling reel were designed. On the premise of satisfying the matching regulation, the parameters of the rotary wheel and the cutting table were adjusted so that the rotational speed ratio λ of the harvest crop was in the suitable range of the rotational speed ratio of the crop. The speed ratio was designed as a suitable interval of different crops by experiments and experience, and, in order to meet the requirements, it was designed to optimize the wheel speed. The speed-matching was designed, and through the experiments on the wheel-speed-adjustment error, which was less than 2%, it was designed to meet the design requirements. Crop-harvesting experiments were carried out under rotational speed-matching and a random speed, and the experimental results showed that the loss rate under rotational speed-matching was significantly lower than that under random speeds; the tests showed that the wheel speed designed with speed-matching can effectively reduce the loss rate.
