The purpose of this study is to develop a self-propelled underground crop harvester and its performance was evaluated by measuring the load during actual potato harvesting operations. This study was conducted at a constant working speed of 1 km·h^-1. A load measurement system was installed to measure the actual load and the required working power was analyzed. A hydraulic pressure sensor was also installed to measure the hydraulic pressure. The required hydraulic power was calculated using the hydraulic pressure and flow rate. The results showed that the engine speed, torque, and power during harvesting operation were in the range of 845 - 1,423 rpm, 95 - 228 Nm, and 9 - 31 kW, respectively. Traction power, excluding the hydraulic pump of the tractor and power take-off (PTO) output, was in the range of 9 - 28 kW, and it was confirmed that it occupies a ratio of 16.2 to 50% of the engine rated output. The engine can supply the minimum required traction power to move the vehicle. This means that the engine used in this study could be down-sized to be suitable for an underground crop harvester. In this study, the gear stages of the tractor were not considered. This research thus shows the possibility of developing a self-propelled underground crop harvester.

The power delivery is crucial to designing agricultural machinery. Therefore, the tractor-mounted potato harvester was used in this study to conduct the field experiment and analyze the power delivery for each step. This study was focused on an analysis of power delivery from the engine to the hydraulic components for the tractor-mounted harvester during potato harvesting. Finally, the simulation model of a self-propelled potato harvester was developed and validated using the experimental dataset of the tractor-mounted potato harvester. The power delivery analysis showed that approximately 90.22% of the engine power was used as traction power to drive the tractor-mounted harvester, and only 5.10% of the engine power was used for the entire hydraulic system of the tractor and operated the harvester. The statistical analysis of the simulation and experimental results showed that the coefficient of determinations (R²) ranged from 0.80 to 0.96, which indicates that the simulation model was performed with an accuracy of over 80%. The regression models were correlated linearly with the simulation and experimental results. Therefore, we believe that this study could contribute to the design methodology and performance test procedure of agricultural machinery. This basic study would be helpful in the design of a self-propelled potato harvester.

참당귀(當歸), 황기, 천궁(川芎) 등 지하부(地下部)를 이용하는 약용작물을 대상으로 관행 인력수확방법(人力收穫方法)을 성력기계화수확기술(省力機械化收穫技術)로 개선코자 기계수확 효율을 비교 검토 하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 성력효율(省力效率)은 인력수확(人力收穫)에 비하여 참당귀(當歸)의 경우 포크레인 수확(收穫) 61% , 다목적근(多目的根) 수확기(收穫機) 이용시 71% 절감(節減)되었으며, 황기에 있어서는 포크레인 수확(收穫) 70%, 다목적근(多目的根) 수확기(收穫機)에서 76% 작업시간(作業時間)이 절감(節減)되었다. 천궁(川芎)의 경우는 경운기 부착진동 굴취기(掘取機) 및 다목적근(多目的根) 수확기(收穫機) 적용시 작업소요시간(作業所要時間)을 각각 68% 줄일 수 있었다. 2. 손실율은 참당귀(當歸)와 황기의 경우 포크레인 수확시(收穫時) 각각 5%, 0.6%를 보였으며 천궁(川芎)에서는 다목적근(多目的根) 수확기(收穫機) 이용에서 1.5%로 낮았다. 3. 상품수량은 기계수확시 관행 인력수확에 비하여 포크레인을 적용할 경우 참당귀(當歸)나 황기에서 약간 낮았으며, 천궁(天芎)에서 다목적근(多目的 根) 수확기(收穫機) 적용시에도 다소 감소되는 경향이었다. 4. 기계 수확 효율로 보아 적절한 수확기종은 참당귀(當歸) 황기의 경우는 포크레인이었고, 천궁(天弓)에서는 다목적근(多目的根) 수확기(收穫機)가 유망시 되었다.

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.

This study analyzed the load and the consumed power characteristics of a potato harvesting operation in a dry field. The potato harvesting operation was performed using an underground crop harvester mounted on an agricultural tractor with a rated engine power of 23.7 kW. The rotational speeds and the torque of the engine output shaft, rear axle, and power take-off (PTO) shaft were measured under various working conditions. The load spectrum and the consumed power were analyzed using the measured data. The results show that the consumed power of the rear axle increased as the working speed increased, while that of the PTO shaft decreased. The consumed power of the engine output shaft showed a similar trend with that of the PTO shaft, but the torque deviation was larger in the load spectrum. The results of previous studies were used to compare herein the consumed power and the load characteristics of the harvesting, rotary, and plow operations in a dry field. PTO and tractive power were highly consumed in the plow and rotary operations, respectively. The consumed power of the PTO shaft and the rear axle in the harvesting operation were 29-41% and 18-23% of the engine power, respectively. Compared to those in the rotary and plow operations, the engine power was relatively evenly distributed to the PTO shaft and rear axle in the harvesting operation.
