插播鸭嘴开孔对大蒜播种直立度的影响

Influence of duckbill perforations in the insertion seeder on garlic planting uprightness

  • 摘要: 直立播种能够提高大蒜的出苗一致性,有助于提升大蒜产量和品质,鸭嘴插播是大蒜直立播种入土的主要形式。针对鸭嘴入土开启引起的蒜种直立度下降甚至翻转问题,该研究设计了一种局部开孔插播鸭嘴。利用离散元法(EDEM)建立了土壤-鸭嘴-蒜种互作模型,分析了鸭嘴内预置土壤量对蒜种倒伏的影响规律,在预埋蒜种高度为0、25%、50%、75%、100%时,播后平均直立度分别降低33°、22°、10°、4°、3°,表明鸭嘴内适量预置土壤可减小播种时蒜种倒伏,且当鸭嘴内土壤对蒜种预埋率大于75%时,蒜种直立度变化趋于稳定;分析了鸭嘴开孔形式与参数对入土时土壤流入的影响规律,得到在孔宽6.5 mm条件下,横向上、下孔长为30 和25 mm,纵向开孔长为40 mm时,蒜种预埋率分别为87.5%、77.5%。台架试验结果表明:蒜种预埋率为0、25%、50%、75%、100%时,播后平均直立度分别降低38°、26°、13°、6°、4°;鸭嘴横、纵向开孔的蒜种平均预埋率分别为80%、72%,相比传统无孔鸭嘴,蒜种直立度分别提高了59.27%和44.05%。该成果可为新型插播鸭嘴与大蒜直立播种机的研究提拱参考。

     

    Abstract: The uprightness control in the process of garlic mechanized sowing was the core technical difficulty to improve planting quality and yield. The traditional duckbill sowing device became a key bottleneck in the development of garlic mechanized sowing technology due to its structural defects, which resulted in a lack of uprightness of the garlic seeds during sowing. In this study, we explored an effective method to improve the stability of garlic‐seed uprightness through innovative structural modifications, in order to address the collapse of seeds triggered by the failure of the inner‐wall support during the opening process of the traditional duckbill. We focused on solving the following core problems: quantitatively analyzing how pre‐added soil influenced the attitude stability of garlic seeds; constructing a dynamic interaction model of soil–device–seed under the new opening structure; verifying the optimization effect of different structural parameters on sowing quality; and providing theoretical support for the research and development of precision garlic sowing equipment. Based on the discrete element method (EDEM 2021), we constructed an interaction model containing soil, the duckbill device, and Cangshan garlic cloves. We employed the Hertz–Mindlin (no slip) contact model and inter‐particle parallel bonding to simulate the cohesion and other properties of spherical soil particles, and we set the particle‐size distribution to 0.5-2 mm. The study adopted a two-stage experimental design. In the first stage, we systematically analyzed how the percentage height of garlic seeds buried in pre-added soil (five gradients: 0, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) affected their attitude. In the second stage, we designed two types of perforated structures—Transverse and Longitudinal—to investigate the regulation mechanism of soil inflow by varying hole width (6.5 mm), hole length (30 and 25 mm for the Transverse structure, 40 mm for the Longitudinal structure), and other parameters. Finally, we built a bench‐test system based on a high-speed camera and quantitatively analyzed the test data via image processing. The simulation and bench‐test data showed that pre-added soil had a significant regulatory effect on seed stability. In virtual simulation, when the pre-burial rates were 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, the average decreases in seed uprightness were 33°, 22°, 10°, 4°, and 3°, respectively, with the rate of decrease diminishing as the pre-burial rate increased. In the bench-top validation, the corresponding decreases were 38°, 26°, 13°, 6°, and 4°. Notably, at pre-burial rates than 75%, the decrease in uprightness tended to stabilize under both conditions. Regarding structural optimization, the Transverse perforated design (top hole 30 mm, bottom hole 25 mm) achieved an 87.5% pre-burial rate at a 6.5 mm hole width, while the Longitudinal perforated design (hole length 40 mm) achieved 77.5%. Bench-top measurements confirmed actual pre-burial rates of 80% (transverse) and 72% (longitudinal). Compared with the traditional non-perforated structure, the Transverse perforated device improved seed uprightness by 59.27%, and the Longitudinal by 44.05%, closely matching theoretical predictions. The localized perforated duckbill structure we proposed effectively solved the support‐failure problem during the opening stage of the traditional device by introducing a controllable soil‐compensation mechanism. Theoretical analysis and experimental validation demonstrated that the two-segment Transverse perforated design improved seed-clove uprightness by 59.27%. These results provided a new technical path for profiling mechanisms in precision garlic sowing equipment and offered important engineering value for advancing mechanized planting technology of economic crops.
