Abstract:

In the present study, the sugarcane variety Yuetang 54-474 was selected as the test object, and the mechanical properties parameters of sugarcane crusts and cores were determined. A special mechanical model of sugarcane was established based on these mechanical parameters, and finite element analysis and modification were carried out for sugarcane cutting. Based on this established model, orthogonal test was designed to optimize the working speed, tool reciprocating speed and tool angle for sugarcane harvester. Based on the parameters obtained from the orthogonal test, the hand-held sugarcane harvester was developed. The field test results of the prototype showed that the broken-root rate of sugarcane was 6.9%, the lodging rate in the special direction was 91%, and the loss rate was 1.4%, which all met the requirement in field.

Key words: sugarcane harvest, mechanical properties, simulation, orthogonal test
