Abstract

In this study, the operational characteristics of a cam-type vegetable transplanter which usually used in domestic was analyzed and operating mechanism of a transplanting device was analyzed. The main components and power path of the transplanter were analyzed. The maximum and minimum control cycles according to the moving speed and the plant spacing were analyzed. 3D modeling and simulation were performed to derive the trajectory of the bottom end of the transplanting hopper and the plant spacing at the each operating condition. The simulation results were verified by the field tests. As main findings of this study, the transplanting device has one degree of freedom (DOF) which consist of 13 links, 17 rotating joints and 1 half joint, and each part has composite structure with cam and links. By continuous and repetitive motion of the structures of transplanting device, the transplanting hopper plants the seedling in the ground with a vertical direction, and the seedling was planted stably. The power is transmitted to the driving part and transplanting device from the engine, and the maximum and minimum plant spacing of the transplanting device were about 900 mm and 350 mm, respectively.

본 연구에서는 국내 밭작물 재배농가에서 주로 사용되는 캠방식 채소 정식기를 대상으로 작동특성 및 식부장치 작동 메커니즘 분석을 수행하였다. 정식기의 주요 구성요소 및 동력전달경로를 파악하였으며, 주행속도 및 주간거리 단수 변화에 따른 최대 및 최소 작동주기를 도출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 3D모델링 및 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 식부호퍼 극하단점의 궤적 및 조건별 주간거리를 도출하였으며 필드시험을 통해 실제 주간거리와 비교 검증하였다. 주요 결과로써, 식부장치는 13개의 링크와 17개의 회전 조인트 및 1개의 하프 조인트로 구성된 1 자유도의 기구이며, 각 부분들은 캠과 링크장치들의 복합구조를 갖는다. 식부장치 요소들의 연속적이고 반복적인 운동에 의해 식부호퍼는 지면과 연직인 자세를 유지하며 묘를 안정적으로 정식한다. 동력은 엔진과 변속기를 통해 주행부 및 식부장치로 전달되었으며 식부장치의 최대 및 최소 주간거리는 각각 약 900 mm 및 350 mm이다.
