Abstract:In view of the problem that the seeds are easy to be squeezed and displaced after the transportation and placement of soft trays in vegetable seedling raising, a kind of dislocation stacking storage and transportation machine for seedling trays was designed. In order to avoid the compression of the matrix soil and the displacement of the seeds, a storage form of dislocation stacking of the tray was innovatively proposed, and the key components of the machine were designed and calculated, and the hardware selection and software design of the control system were completed. The selection range of each factor in the optimization test was determined by single factor test, and the Box-Behnken Design response surface optimization test design was carried out. The influence of four test factors, such as the dumping angle of the tray support plate, the height of the front end of the tray support plate, the descending speed of the screw slider in the translation-rotation joint conversion placement device and the moving speed of the whole machine, on the three evaluation indexes of the qualified rate of the declination pass rate, the longitudinal deflection distance and the transverse deflection distance was explored. The Design-Expert 13.0 software was used to optimize the parameters of the test results to verify the reliability of the optimized combination parameters. Considering the actual working parameters of the machine, the optimized pendulum parameters were set as the dumping angle of the tray support plate of 28.0°, the height of the front end of the tray support plate from the ground of 44.5mm, the descending speed of the screw slider of 38.5mm/s, and the moving speed of the whole machine of 59.0mm/s. The pass rate of above parameters were 93.3%, 93.3% and 94.4%, respectively. The absolute value of the error between the predicted value and the predicted value was less than 5%. The test and optimization results were basically the same, which met the agronomic requirements of the tray placement.
