During the threshing and redwing process, various process param- eters including the rotating speeds of threshing drums of threshing machioe, draught fans and fling drums were scientifically and rationally set according to the actual quality of the raw material. According to the characteristic that strips with close in- herent quality have basically the same specific gravity and leaf thickness, the strips from each discharge hole were accurately evaluated, and classified, followed by redrying and packaging. The results showed that the threshing and separating pro- cedure could improve the separating effect and precision according to tobacco qual- ity, so as to satisfy the separation and classification requirements for tobacco.展开更多

An impact device was built based of pendulum mechanism. In the experiments, threshing percentage of soybean pod samples were measured at three initial moisture content levels of 16.25% and 35% w.b. and three energy levels of 173,284 and 446 mJ. The results of analysis of variance showed that moisture content and energy have significant effects on the threshing percentage. By increasing impact energy, amount of pod threshing increased. Also in all the energy levels, maximum threshing occurred at minimum moisture. Maximum threshing percentage was 83.4%, which was at 16% moisture content and 446 mJ levels, also minimum threshing percentage was 3.3% which was at 35% moisture content and 174 mJ levels. Soybean pod with higher moisture, contact between its edges of the pod was stronger than lower moisture, so more energy was needed to separate two edges at 35% moisture.展开更多

文摘In this research, the effects of initial moisture content and needed impact energy on threshing of soybean pods were studied. An impact device was built based of pendulum mechanism. In the experiments, threshing percentage of soybean pod samples were measured at three initial moisture content levels of 16.25% and 35% w.b. and three energy levels of 173,284 and 446 mJ. The results of analysis of variance showed that moisture content and energy have significant effects on the threshing percentage. By increasing impact energy, amount of pod threshing increased. Also in all the energy levels, maximum threshing occurred at minimum moisture. Maximum threshing percentage was 83.4%, which was at 16% moisture content and 446 mJ levels, also minimum threshing percentage was 3.3% which was at 35% moisture content and 174 mJ levels. Soybean pod with higher moisture, contact between its edges of the pod was stronger than lower moisture, so more energy was needed to separate two edges at 35% moisture.

文摘To make up for the gap in the research on high water content maize threshing by airflow,this study took high-speed,low flow,low-speed high flow airflow,and high water content maize ear as the research basis.The variation of air flow impacted threshing in numerical simulation,and the variation process of smoke visualization in the threshing area was compared.Taking the maize ear direction,the angle between the maize ear and the air pipe,the diameter of the air pipe,and the flow rate of the air compressor as factors,single-factor and quadratic regression orthogonal rotation combination tests were carried out,and the parameters were optimized.Finally,high-speed photography was used to shoot the maize kernels’shelling process,and movement rules were analyzed from both the front and side views.The results showed that the velocity changes of each section under the numerical simulation are consistent with the flow state changes of smoke.The velocity reached its maximum on the circumference of the maize ear surface and presented a symmetrical distribution.Due to the velocity gradient and pressure gradient difference,the high-speed airflow would entrain the phenomena of the low-speed airflow.When the transverse maize ear,the angle between the maize and the airflow tube)was 45°,the diameter of the airflow tube was 7 mm,the flow rate of the airflow tube was 33 m/s,the loose amount was 10 pieces,the threshed amount was 15 pieces,and the damage rate was below 3%.Through high-speed photography,it was found that the cyclic force circle was destroyed after the maize kernel fell off,the motion of the removed maize kernel was similar to the oblique throwing motion,and the threshing process was carried out in the unit of“arrangement unit”.The threshing process followed the“arrangement law”,and the threshing track was“spiral”.The results of this research can provide ideas for the mechanical design and development of high-moisture-content maize threshing by air.

文摘The existing discrete element model of wheat plants lacks the glume,which hinders the simulation of the entire threshing process.To address this issue,this paper takes wheat at the harvest stage as the research object and constructs a complete discrete element model of wheat plants with glumes based on the Hertz-Mindlin with bonding model in the EDEM simulation software.The parameter calibration of wheat glumes discrete element model is studied through collision bounce experiments,slope experiments,and accumulation experiments.The results show that the coefficient of restitution,coefficient of static friction,and coefficient of rolling friction between glume and steel are 0.488,0.625,and 0.048,respectively,and the coefficient of restitution,coefficient of static friction,and coefficient of rolling friction between glume and glume are 0.232,0.966,and 0.059,respectively.The relative errors between the simulation results and the measured values are less than 5%,and the calibration parameters are effective.Based on the structural parameters of the self-developed experiment-bed of tangential axial-flow grain threshing device,a three-dimensional model of the wheat threshing device is established to simulate the whole threshing process of the complete wheat plant,and the bench-scale experiments are carried out with the non-threshing rate as the performance index.The results indicate that the model can completely simulate the separation process of glume and grain and the movement law of different grains,and the relative error of non-threshing rate between the simulation experiments and bench-scale experiments is 4.36%.This further demonstrates that the proposed model can provide a reference for the wheat threshing process research and device performance optimization design.

文摘Threshing is the most important function of grain harvester.Grain loss and damage in harvesting are significantly related to threshing theory and technology.There are four kinds of threshing principles including impact,rubbing,combing and grinding.Four types of contact models between grain and threshing components have been constructed correspondently.Grain damage can be regarded as a function of peripheral velocity and contact pattern of impacting.Grain loss can be regarded as a function of contact pattern of rasp bars.Grain loss coming from cleaning and separation in the subsequent process of combing threshing was significantly decreased.Tangential and axial threshing technologies have been applied in grain threshing system widely.It showed that in the combined application,tangential rolls are used to accelerate grain flow,and axial rolls are used to increase threshing quality especially lower loss and damage.Conical concave may take the place of the traditional cylindrical one.With the development of sensor technology and communication technology,intelligent harvesting robot and automatic threshing system will be integrated together to improve grain quality and operation comfort.

文摘During the threshing process of rice,the grains fall off the head of the rice ear due to the impact of the threshing bar.At the same time,the impact force of the threshing element causes a certain degree of damage to the grain.However,there are relatively few methods to analyze the internal damage of rice grains during the threshing process.In this study,the connection force between rice grains and stalks and the compressive bearing capacity of the grains were tested on a push-pull test machine,and then the critical impact force and velocity of rice grains during plastic deformation and brittle fracture were obtained by Hertz theory.On this basis,the quantitative evaluation model of grain internal damage was established through the extraction and calculation of the damaged area inside the grain,and the damage degrees inside the grain under different loading times and loading forces were analyzed.The results showed that the average threshing force required for rice grains is 1.57 N(variance is 0.0529),and the critical impact forces for plastic deformation and brittle fracture of the grains during threshing are 138.79 N and 145.77 N.Since the threshing force during the threshing process was 43.9-71.9 N,it could be known from the internal damage model that the grain is in the safe loading area.Under the same load,the vertical pressure causes the most damage,the lateral pressure takes second place,and the positive pressure was the least.The results of this study can provide a basis for the development of combine harvester and rice grains damage evaluation.
