Abstract
To improve the problem of low seeding efficiency facing the single-row planting mode traditionally used in China, this study aimed to design a novel three-row pneumatic precision metering device. The working principle and main structure were introduced in the paper. The three main factors affecting the seeding performance comprised of vacuum pressure, angular velocity of the metering tray, and taper angle of the sucking hole. A Box-Behnken experiment design having the qualified index and missed seeding index as the experimental index was used, and the results indicated that optimal performance of the metering device was achieved when the vacuum pressure was 2.16 kPa, the angular velocity of the metering tray was 29.43 rpm, and the taper angle of the sucking hole was 61.51°. The qualified index of the inner, middle, and outer ring was 95.12%, 94.68% and 94.24% respectively, while the missed seeding index of the inner, middle, and outer ring was 3.67%, 3.12% and 2.58% respectively under the optimal combination of parameters. The bench test results were basically consistent with the optimized results. This paper can provide support for the design of a three-row pneumatic precision metering device for Brassica chinensis.
