Abstract:

In order to realize the directional transplanting of Panax notoginseng seedlings, a seedling guiding tube transplanting machine of P. notoginseng seedlings was designed. The directional process and the mechanism of the seedling guiding process during the operation of the seedling guiding tube transplanting machine of P. notoginseng seedlings were analyzed, and the main factors affecting the planting of seedlings were determined. The single-factor simulation test of the directional process was carried out by using EDEM software, the directional platform was built according to the simulation test results, the orthogonal test of the directional performance of the directional mechanism was carried out, and the better parameter working combination of the directional mechanism was determined. The operating speed of the unit, the rotation speed of the directional plate and the inclination angle of the seedling guide tube were selected as the experimental factors, the orthogonal rotation combined test with three factors and five level was carried out and a mathematical model of the qualified rate of planting spacing and replanting rate were established, and the influence of the interaction of various experimental factors on the qualified rate of plant spacing and replanting rate was analyzed. The optimal combination of parameters of the transplanting machine obtained by response surface method of central composite. The results showed that when the inclination angle of the seedling guide tube was fixed at 74.32°, the bench forward speed of the unit was 0.95-1.11 km·h-1, the rotation speed of the directional plate was 24.32-27.57 r·min-1, the qualified rate of the plant spacing was more than 90%, and the replanting rate was less than 5%. In order to verify the reliability of the optimization results, the verification test of the performance of the transplanting machine was carried out, the bench forward speed of the unit was 1 km·h-1, the rotation speed of the directional plate was 25 r·min-1, and the inclination angle of the seedling guide tube was 75°. At this time, the qualified rate of plant spacing was 90.6%, the replanting rate was 4.2%. The results were in accordance with the national standard, meeting the agronomic requirements of P. notoginseng seedling transplanting.
