摘要
The transplanting accuracy of a rice transplanter for picking, conveying and transplanting seedlings mainly depends on the trajectory as well as the return motion of the hoe. The trajectory of the hoe has to be optimized in treating seedlings for a prevailing soil condition. For better transplanting accuracy, a planetary-gear-train system, instead of the four-bar linkage system is used to design a transplanting mechanism. This study proposes a theoretical design method for a transplanting mechanism; the method designs non-circular gears of a planetary-gear-train system for the hoe to trace a prescribed trajectory. An optimization method was used to determine the arm length and tool length; inverse kinematics to determine the configuration angles of the two links and the roll contact condition in transmitting motion between the gears; and a linearization approach to obtain the shapes of the gears. Based on the proposed method, the shapes of the gears and the lengths of the tools of the planetary-gear-train system are determined for three prescribed trajectories. A commercialized package program (ADAMS) is used to carry out a kinematic simulation to confirm that the gear-train system configured from the proposed method is adequate for the transplanting mechanism.
