In present-day mechanized garlic seeding, high missing rates and low qualified percentages of single seeds are common problems; thus, a finger clip plate seed-metering device was designed in this study. First, the structure working principle were studied. Subsequently, critical component parameters determined using theoretical calculations; then, EDEM software used single-factor simulation expe...

different conservation tillage practices are nowadays suggested as the best solution for prevention of soil from erosion. this could be done by leaving the previous crop residue on the soil surface. a new idea to plant in the conservation tillage system is the use of punch planters by which one can plant through a heavy depth of previous crop surface residue. the study was conducted using a 2?3...

Device specific power consumption information leads to a high potential for energy savings. Smart meters are currently deployed in several countries, but they are only able to track the overall consumption in domestic and commercial buildings. One promising option to gain device specific information is called Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), which can be of great use in combination with sma...

The accurate contact parameters of American ginseng seed particles，which are the basis for establish discrete element simulation model seeds.The seeds were calibrated by combining physical tests and together. basic parameters, repose angle sprouted determined tests. significantly screened conducting Plackett-Burman test. Meanwhile, it was that collision recovery coefficient, static friction coe...

The seed-metering device of the no-tillage planter was driven by the ground wheel. Sliding was unavoidable when the ground was covered by the straw. High sliding brought seeding absence and affected the quality of sowing. In order to monitor the sliding of the ground wheel, a monitoring system composed of hardware and software was designed based on ATMEGA16 Microcomputer. In the system, the pra...

Traditional passive ground wheel drive of peanut planters has displayed poor high-speed seeding performance and the slippage caused in case sticky wet soil. Given this, an integrated electric-driven precision seed metering device controller were designed, which features application improved fuzzy PID algorithm. Based on a small planter with one ridge width duplicate rows, servo motor is used to...
