This work was intended to study the cutting graph and vibratory phenomina of a newly developed mower which may be suitable for mowing agricultural product having large and hard stems like corn and sugar beet. The system consists of cutter-bar having Curvilinear-translation motion, which attached to drag-crank mechanism. The motion of equation developed for experimental vibratory system which equipped with the cutter-bar system was established and the parameters defining the system's vibratory motion were experimentally determined. The optimum balancing weight for the cutter-bar am vibratory characteristics of the cutter-bar for various counterweight were analyzed to provide the design and operational conditions. The results of the study are summarized as follows; (1) The cutting graph by the new cutter-bar system depends upon the magnitude of ratio of forward travel(Vm) to crank speed (R$\omega$); The cutting pitch for Vm/R$\omega$ 1 (whole cycle cutting) and Vm/R$\omega$=2/$\pi$ (a half cycle cutting) are 2$\pi$ Vm and 4R, respectively. (2) The experimental vibratory system had been proved to function adequately so that it can be used in determining the required counterweight to minimize the vibratory motion of cutter-bar. (3) Experimentally determined counterweight to give the least vibratory motion was a little greater than the theoretically determined one. With the optimum counterweight it was possible to reduce up to about 87% of the amplitude without counterweight, which may be considered to be within safe operational region. (4) To avoid the actual operation of the cutter-bar at resonance which occured in low frequency ratio, it was considered that the rotational speed of the crank for a specific design of mower should be determined separately in connection with the desired cutting graph.

This study was conducted to investigate the cutting mechanism of the reciprocating knife of combine harvester. The cutting operation of reciprocating knife was demonstrated through the cutting pattern diagram which was drawn by computer graphics. Various kinds and dimensions of standard-type reciprocating knives were analyzed by the developed program. The results are summarized as follows : (1) For the 50mm standard reciprocating knife, the bunching area and the maximum stalk-deflection were decreased rapidly according to the increase of cutting velocity ratio by 1.0 and decreased very slowly over this ratio. But, the secondary cut was occurred at ratio of 1.0 and increased rapidly over this ratio. (2) The 76mm standard knife showed better cutting mechanism than the 50mm, in two respects : the larger cutting area per one stroke and the lower revolutional speed of crank shaft for the same cutting velocity. (3) In respect to the bunching area and the secondary cutting length, the adequate height of 50mm standard reciprocating knife was 45~50mm. (4) In order to maintain the proper cutting mechanism, the adequate cutting velocity at forward speed of 0.5㎧ to 1.2m/s was from 0.4m/s to 1.2m/s for the standard knife.

This study was conducted to investigate the cutting mechanism of reciprocating knife of combine harvester. The cutting operation of reciprocating knife with the arrangement of the low-cutting and the double-cutting was demonstrated through cutting pattern diagram which was drawn by computer graphics. Various kinds and dimensions of reciprocating knives were analyzed using the developed program. The results are summarized as follows (1) The low-cutting type reciprocating knife was represented similar cutting characteristics to the standard type, but the maximum stalk-deflection was decreased as 1/2 level of the standard type. And the first ledger plate should be designed shorter than the second ledger plate. (2) The bunching area and the maximum stalk-deflection for the double cutting knife almost were not changed since cutting velocity ratio of 0.6, but the secondary cut were occurred at ratio of 0.8 and increased rapidly over these ratio. (3) The double cutting knife was recommended for the high speed combine, because its bunching area and the maximum stalk-deflection were decreased as 1/2 level of the standard type. (4) In order to maintain the proper cutting mechanism characterized by the bunching area, the maximum stalk-deflection and the secondary cutting length etc., the adequate cutting velocity at forward speed of 0.5㎧ to 1.2㎧ was from 0.3㎧ to 0.96㎧ for the double cutting knives.

본 연구는 예취시 벼 줄기의 절단 저항이 적은 콤바인 예취날 개발에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하기위하여 예취날의 윗날 내부에 면적 $75mm^2$의 평면 홈을 가공한 개발날과 시중에 판매되는 예취날을 사용하여 절단속도비와 볏짚의 함수율을 인자로 미예취시 예취날의 구동 마찰저항과 예취저항을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 예취날 속도 0.37m/s에서 0.55m/s범위 내에서 단날 구동시의 예취날 구동 마찰저항은 홈 가공을 한 개발 날이 평균 $0.12kg{\cdot}m$로 홈 가공을 하지 않은 기존 날의 평균 $0.16kg{\cdot}m$에 비해 25% 낮게 나타났다. 또한 양날 구동방식에서도 홈 가공을 한 개발말이 기존날에 비해 평균 26%정도 구동 마찰저항이 낮게 나타났다. 2. 절단속도비 10.에서 1.5범위 내에서 홈을 가공한 개발날의 볏짚 예취 저항은 기존 날에 비해 볏짚의 함수율 14.2%, 55.3%, 84.2%에 대해 각각 평균 12%, 15%, 20% 낮게 나타났다. 3. 예취날 구동 방식에 따른 볏짚 예취 저항은 양날구동방식이 $0.20kg{\cdot}m$로 단날 구동방식의 $0.24kg{\cdot}m$에 비해 평균 17%정도 낮게 나타났다. 4. 예취날의 최적 속도비는 볏짚의 함수율 변화에 따라 다르게 나타났으며 함수율 14.2%, 84.2%에 대해 각각 1.2, 1.4로 나타났다.
