Abstract:Aiming at the problems of serious clay and high resistance to furrow opening when the seeding coulter operates under the environment of clay soil, a core-share seeding coulter suitable for clay soil was optimally designed. Through theoretical analysis and empirical design, it was determined that the furrow coulter had an entry angle of 45°, a gap angle of 5°, a bevel angle of 30°, a start slip angle of 23°, a termination slip angle of 45°, and a with of 45mm. In order to improve the performance of the furrow opener in viscosity reduction and desludging, basing on the principle of viscosity and drag reduction of non-smooth surfaces of biomimicry, it was determined that the surface of the plough body of the furrow opener was locally textured reshaped by increasing the convex ribs, and the movement of the furrow coulter in the soil groove was simulated by EDEM software. Using EDEM software to simulate the movement of the furrower in the soil groove, taking the surface characteristic geometric parameters as the test factors, the soil adhesion amount and furrowing resistance as the evaluation indexes, and adopting the response surface test to analyze the influence law of each geometric parameter on the evaluation indexes, it was determined that the optimal combination of the surface characteristic geometric parameters of the furrower body was as follows: width of the convex rib was 7.623mm, thickness of the convex rib was 1.344mm, and the spacing between the adjacent convex ribs was 11.782mm, at this time, the soil adhesion amount of the furrower was 159.88g, the furrowing resistance was 60.065N. The soil trench test showed that under the same working conditions, the soil viscosity reduction rate of the textured reshaping furrow opener was 16.33%, compared with the conventional furrow coulter, the working resistance was reduced by 2.91%~4.45%, achieving the expected viscosity reduction and resistance effect.
