As a rule, it is evaluated by the influence of oscillations (translational vertical, transverse, angular longitudinal, etc.), on these indicators, as well as on the physical condition and health of operators who control these units in real production conditions. This article presents an improved method and results of experimental assessment of the smoothness of the movement of the modular agricultural unit, which moves in the footsteps of a constant technological track. Studies of the smoothness of the modular unit showed that the graphs of normalized correlation functions of vertical oscillations of the modular agricultural tool developed by us in its motion in the wake of a constant techno-logical track is characterized by a function containing along with random components harmonic, which are expressed by attenuating periodic oscillations. The range of frequencies of oscillations of the frame of the agricultural tool is concentrated in the range from 0 tо 20 s−1, which is consistent with the frequency range 0…0.3 s−1 in which the variances of oscillations of inequalities of a profile of traces of a technological track are concentrated. Studies have confirmed the effectiveness of the method of estimating the intensity of vertical oscillations of the agricultural unit measuring and recording system based on a tablet computer with Android operating system with built-in accelerometer sensors and Accelerometer Meter application. The developed technique of mathematical modelling and experimental determination of vertical oscillations of the machine-tractor unit can be used in the study of the dynamics of other agricultural machines and units.","PeriodicalId":44197,"journal":{"name":"INMATEH-Agricultural Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42868533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the key parts such as socket wheel-ring groove seed metering device, transmission system and tensioning wheel are designed. The working parts such as\u0000arrow shovel furrow opener, plastic seed tube and hollow cast iron press wheel were selected to achieve seed metering. The seed metering wheel has double-row of holes. The results of static seeding test showed that rotational speed had a significant effect on the sowing quantity of millet and broomcorn millet (P < 0.001). The higher the rotational speed, the greater the sowing quantity. With the increase of rotational speed of seed metering wheel, the damage rate of millet and broomcorn millet increased. At the same rotational speed, the breakage rate of broomcorn millet is smaller than that of millet. The field sowing test showed that when the seeder is at a marching speed of about 0.5 m/s, the qualified rate of the hole spacing of millet and broomcorn millet is greater than or equal to 90%, and the qualified rate of the number of grains per hole is\u0000greater than or equal to 82%.

Also simulation experiments were carried out based on the discrete element method according to the solutions made before and after the structural improvement. Firstly, a granular organic fertilizer model was established based on the EDEM and a caking organic fertilizer bonding model was built based on the HMB (Hertz-Mindlin with bonding) contact model. Then two organic fertilizer spreading models corresponding to the solutions were respectively established, based on which simulation experiments were repeated three times on the spreading process. The analysis on the particle velocity vector diagram revealed the interaction relationship between organic fertilizers with the toothed shaft, external wall and disk, verifying the crushing mechanism of crushing unit. By calculating the total number of the bonds generated and broken in the spreading process in both of the spreading models, the average broken rate of bonds in the spreading process was separately 58.87% and 98.05% based on each solution, revealing that the improved solution outperformed the traditional solution in terms of the efficiency in crushing the caking organic fertilizers.

The traditional method of body size measurement is usually in manual way, which requires more employees and causes stress reactions of pigs. In response to the shortcomings of the traditional methods, this paper designed a system for measuring the body size of pigs based on stereo vision. The point cloud of both the calibration object and the pig was collected using dual KinectV2 cameras. Pre-processing was conducted using filtering and random sample consensus to remove background noise from the point clouds. As there was limited overlap between the two sides of the point clouds, the rotation matrix obtained from registering the calibration object was applied to the pig point clouds. Curve fitting and slicing were then utilized to measure the pig's body dimensions, including length, width, height, and abdominal circumference. The results of the study indicated that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) was 2.13% for body length, 1.02% for body width, 1.05% for body height, and 2.21% for abdominal girth. These results demonstrate the high accuracy and practical production value of the system.","PeriodicalId":44197,"journal":{"name":"INMATEH-Agricultural Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47422630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
