Abstract:

In order to solve the problems of the soybean threshing device, which is easy to jam in the process of harvest, high grain loss rate and breakage rate, a longitudinal axial flow flexible bent tooth threshing device for soybean was designed. This paper expounded the structure and working principle of flexible threshing element and passive rotatable concave screen, conducted the stress analysis of threshing bent teeth, and then verified the contact force analysis between flexible threshing element and grains by the coupling simulation test of EDEM and Recurdyn. The effects of roller speed, threshing gap and feeding amount on threshing efficiency were investigated by response surface optimization experiments, and a multiple quadratic regression model with average grain entrained loss rate and breakage rate as response values was established. The results showed that when the roller speed was 366.65 r·min-1, the concave clearance combination was 20.78 mm×15.78 mm and the feeding amount was 1.286 kg·s-1, the threshing device had an optimal threshing performance, in which the grain entrainment loss rate was 1.767% and the damage rate was 0.713%. The field test was verified to meet the actual operation requirements.
