Abstract
Considering the current low level of mechanization for domestic green
onion planting and the high labor intensity of artificial planting, a 2ZYX-2 green
onion ditching and transplanting machine, which can complete ditching, ridging,
transplanting, repression, soil covering and other operations, is designed in this
study. The Central Composite test design method was carried out with the speed
of the transplanting machine, the depth of the opener and the horizontal position
of the opener as the experimental factors and with the qualification ratio of
perpendicularity, the variation coefficient of the plant spacing and the
qualification ratio of the planting depth as the test index. Through the analysis of
the model interaction and response surface, the change laws that the influence
the machine’s forward speed, the depth of the opener and the horizontal position
of the opener were studied. The regression model was optimized by
Design-Expert 8.0.6 software, and the accuracy of the predicted results was
verified by experiments. The optimal working parameters showed that the
forward speed of the machine was 0.06 m/s, the depth of the opener was 102 mm,
and the horizontal position of the opener was 29 mm. Under conditions of
optimal working parameters, the qualification rate of the verticality was 86.83%,
the coefficient of variation for the plant spacing was 2.77, and the pass rate of
planting depth was 88.26%. The research related to the thesis can provide a
reference for the mechanized planting of green onion, which is of great
significance to the cost-effectiveness of the green onion industry.
