Abstract

In Korea, the mechanization ratio of field farming is about 58.3%. Especially, mechanization ratio of harvest operation is 10% or less. So, it is required to improve the mechanization ratio of harvest operation to analyze the power requirement analysis of agricultural tractor. The purpose of this study is to analyze power requirement of the underground crop harvester attached on agricultural tractor for traction operation. First, a power measurement system was developed and installed in 45 kW agricultural tractor. Second, field experiments were conducted at two driving speed levels (1.41, 2.17 km/h), and axle torque and rotation speed were analyzed. At 1.41km/h driving speed, the average power requirement of driving axle is 3.13 kW, respectively, at 2.17km/h driving speed, the average power requirement of driving axle is each 4.20 kW. In addition, the field tests show that as the driving speed increases by 53%, the power requirement of the underground crop harvester attached on agricultural tractor increases by 34%. Therefore, it indicated that the power requirement of agricultural tractor was affected by the driving speed.

국내 논 작업의 기계화율은 약 90% 이상 되었지만, 밭 작업의 기계화율은 약 60%이며, 수확작업의 기계화율은 10%내외로 밭 작업의 기계화율의 제고가 필요한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구는 트랙터 부착 수확작업기 개발을 위한 기초연구로써 마늘, 양파 등 땅속작물수확기의 견인작업에 따른 트랙터 차축의 부하 신호를 측정하고 주행속도에 따른 차축 소요 동력을 분석하였다. 밭 작업용 트랙터 차축의 소요 동력을 측정하기 위하여 휠 센서와 데이터 수집 시스템을 설치하였으며, 두 개의 작업속도에서 견인작업을 수행하며 소요 동력을 계측하였다. 계측한 데이터는 일원 분산분석을 수행하여 트랙터 주행 속도가 차축 소요 동력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 소요 동력 분석 결과, 트랙터 부착 작업기의 작업속도가 증가할수록 트랙터의 소요 동력이 증가됨을 알 수 있었으며, 트랙터 동력전달시스템의 최적설계를 위해서는 다양한 수확작업에 따른 소요동력 분석이 필요함을 알 수 있다.
