Design and testing of the self-sequencing rice transplanter

  • 摘要: 针对水稻种植人工劳动强度大,现有机抛秧育秧难度大、效率低等问题,该研究设计了基于动态均秧调控的自序抛秧机。通过采用微进推秧、柔性斜切梳秧、串联均秧和风送抛秧技术,以及各级模块协调联动的整机控制技术,实现水稻机械化高效种植。行走机构采用履带式底盘,接地比压为20.8 kPa;执行机构主要由梳秧装置、两级均秧装置、吹秧装置组成,作业时,梳秧装置将秧苗连续梳落至输送带,经两级动态均秧回拨实现秧苗均匀分布,最后由吹秧装置加速,增长秧苗入土行程,实现抛植;智能化控制系统实现抛秧余量与作业效果监测与反馈。通过田间试验对样机性能进行验证,结果表明,本机对秧苗适应性广,可有效处理苗高8~20 cm、基质含水率为15%~25%的秧苗;对比其他机抛秧,整机作业效率由0.6 hm2/h提高至1.0 hm2/h,辅助人工由3人减至1人;相比机插栽植,返青期缩短5 d,水稻平均产量为8.52 t/hm2,增产6.95%。未来工作将聚焦于对关键部件优化以进一步提升作业性能与可靠性,该技术的推广有望为水稻机械化种植带来革命性进步。

     

    Abstract: Mechanical seedling throwing and nursery raising can be confined to low efficiency and high labor intensity in rice cultivation. In this study, a self-sequencing rice transplanter was proposed using dynamic uniform seedling regulation. The modules were also integrated with micro-feed seedling pushing, flexible oblique cutting for seedling combing, tandem uniform seedling distribution, and wind-assisted seedling delivery. The multi-module control system was fully coordinated for the rice planting with high precision, efficiency, and flexibility. The mobility system utilized a tracked chassis with a ground pressure of 20.8 kPa. Stable performance was achieved under varied field conditions, including wet and uneven terrain. Execution mechanism comprised three adaptive units: a flexible seedling-combing device, a two-stage uniform seedling distributor, and a high-speed seedling-blowing unit. Each component was designed to dynamically adjust its operational parameters in response to real-time field and seedling conditions, indicating high adaptability and output consistency. Seedlings were continuously drawn from the storage bin using the combing device and then transferred onto a conveyor system. Two-stage dynamic uniform seedling mechanism then redistributed them evenly before the blowing unit accelerated the seedlings into the air, thus extending their trajectory for the proper penetration and spacing in the soil. An integrated intelligent control system continuously monitored seedling supply levels and planting effectiveness, providing for actionable feedback after adjustment and optimization. The dimensions of the self-sequencing rice transplanter were 3.5 m × 2.4 m × 2.5 m (length × width × height), and the total weight was 2 400 kg. Field trials were conducted in the Quyuan Management District, Miluo City, Hunan Province, China, in April 2025. A three-replicate comparison was conducted to validate the prototype's performance using mechanical throwing and transplanting. The results show that the wide seedling adaptability was achieved in the seedlings with a height of 8-20 cm and a substrate moisture content of 15%-25%. Compared with the current mechanical transplanting, the overall efficiency of the machine increased from 0.6 to 1.0 hm2/h, and the number of workers for manual assistance was reduced from 3 to 1. The seedling raising was simplified to alleviate the cropping schedule tension in double-season rice systems. The planted seedlings exhibited a shortened recovery period, rapid regreening, early and abundant tillering, and a high panicle formation rate. An operational efficiency of 1 hectare per hour was equivalent to the daily workload of a skilled farm laborer, significantly reducing production costs. The working width was adjustable from 4 to 7 m, the seedling throwing distance was adjustable from 4 to 8 m, and the travel speed ranged from 0 to 2 m/s, thus allowing flexible adaptation to planting density requirements for early, middle, and late-season rice varieties. Equipped with a human-machine interactive control system, one-touch start-stop adjustment of parameters was realized for a single operator to complete all tasks. The full growth period was 110 days for machine-thrown rice, compared with 115 days for machine-transplanted rice, thereby representing a reduction of 5 days. The average yield was 7.93 t/hm2 for machine transplanting, while the average yield reached 8.52 t/hm2 for machine throwing, with an increase of 6.95%. Strong promotion potential: compatible performance with conventional seedling raising and throwing, good adaptability in southern rice-growing regions, and mitigation of labor shortages. Key components can also be optimized to enhance performance and reliability. Maturation and widespread promotion can also be expected to bring revolutionary changes into mechanical transplanting in rice cultivation.
