Abstract

In order to solve the problems of complexity of control systems and the limited power supply of traditional fuel-powered and battery-driven transporters operating in mountainous orchards, a sliding contact line-powered track transporter was designed and manufactured based on theoretical calculations. Key components of the transporter were developed such as a PLC-based (programmable logic controller) control system, a sliding contact power supply, and transmission system, and a position limit device. The functions and performance of designed transporter were tested. The test results showed that the transporter exhibited a high stability of operation with an average operation velocity of 0.70 m/s, the maximum working slope of 48°, the maximum load of 400 kg, and the maximum remote control distance reaching 1482 m. When the power supply circuit of sliding contact line was 108.8 m in length, the maximum voltage drop was 2.4 V, and the maximum power loss was 174.72 W, which were close to the theoretical calculation values. With a single power supply cabinet, the transporter can operate normally for a maximum track distance of 175.69 m. All the technical indicators of the transporter met the design requirements, and the above-mentioned problems such as complexity of the control system and limited energy supply of the traditional mountain orchard transporter were well solved. This study can provide reference for the design and optimization of mountain orchard transporter.

滑动接触线供电履带运输车的研制与试验

为解决传统燃料驱动和电池驱动的山地果园运输车控制系统复杂、供电有限的问题，在理论计算的基础上，设计制造了一种接触线驱动的滑动履带运输车。开发了输送机的关键部件，如基于plc(可编程逻辑控制器)的控制系统，滑动接触电源和传输系统，以及位置限制装置。对所设计的输送机的功能和性能进行了测试。试验结果表明，该输送机运行稳定性高，平均运行速度为0.70 m/s，最大工作坡度为48°，最大载荷为400 kg，最大遥控距离达1482 m。当滑动接触线供电电路长度为108.8 m时，最大压降为2.4 V，最大功率损耗为174.72 W，与理论计算值接近。单机柜供电时，可正常运行的最大轨道距离为175.69 m。该输送机各项技术指标均达到设计要求，较好地解决了传统山地果园输送机控制系统复杂、供能有限等问题。本研究可为山地果园输送机的设计与优化提供参考。关键词:山地果园，运输车，遥控，滑动接触线，电压降[DOI: 10.25165/ j.j ijabe.20231604.7841]引用本文:蒋玉华，杨峰，张志华，李世杰。滑动接触线供电履带运输车的研制与试验。农业与生物工程学报，2023;16(4): 68 - 75。
