Abstract17)      PDF (5920KB)(14)      
It is an important indicator for the design of the suspension system of tractors in hilly and mountainous areas to ensure the optimal matching state between traction and plowing depth when the tractor is working on hilly terrain or hard soil. Proportional electromagnets is the main component of throttle valve electromechanical conversion,  its performance is of great significance in controlling throttle opening and achieving proportional adjustment of flow rate. This article focuses on the operational requirements of the suspension system of tractors in hilly and mountainous areas and the design requirements of the hydraulic proportional valve, a pilot throttle valve proportional solenoid for adjusting the attitude of the suspension hydraulic system is designed, and the key structural parameters of proportional solenoid are calculated. A mathematical model of the solenoid is established, and the impact of Maxwell on the flow characteristics of the valve group is simulated and analyzed. At the same time, genetic algorithm was used to optimize parameters such as the thickness of the magnetic isolation guide sleeve, the angle of the magnetic isolation ring, the width of the magnetic isolation ring, and the depth of the stator core. Finally, Maxwell was used to conduct finite element analysis of the optimized proportional electromagnet before and after optimization. The simulation results revealed that the electromagnetic force of the optimized proportional electromagnet was almost parallel to the Xaxis between 1-3 mm, and had better displacement force characteristics. The mathematical model of the pilot throttle valve was established, and its dynamic and static characteristics were simulated by Simulink so as to verify the rationality of the designed proportional solenoid parameters.

Research status and prospects of hydraulic impact suppression methods
Zhao Min, Yang Bo, Li Wei
Abstract50)      PDF (1359KB)(116)      
During the operation of hydraulic equipment, sudden increases in load can cause hydraulic shock due to step responses in the hydraulic system. Severe hydraulic shock can damage hydraulic components and reduce working efficiency. This article explains the various methods of shock suppression from four aspects as follows: power components, actuator elements, control elements, and auxiliary elements in hydraulic systems. Signal feedback is used in power components to reduce the pump speed during reversing operation, thereby reducing the output flow rate to achieve hydraulic shock suppression. Buffers are typically used in hydraulic cylinders for shock suppression, while research on the speed fluctuation of hydraulic motors is mainly used to solve pulsation problems, which can also have an effect on shock suppression. Research on control elements mainly focuses on the interaction of various valve components and the slowing down of hydraulic shock by increasing the response speed of valve components. Research on auxiliary elements mainly focuses on optimizing and designing the structure of accumulators, and introduces the application characteristics of biomimetic pipes and dampers for absorbing hydraulic shock. Finally, it is proposed that multidisciplinary innovation can be used to analyze and improve traditional hydraulic components to suppress hydraulic shock under extreme conditions such as high pressure and high flow rates.

Abstract103)      PDF (2385KB)(92)      
As an important part of high clearance selfpropelled sprayer, the steering system directly affects the handling stability, driving smoothness and spraying efficiency of the sprayer. A reasonable steering transmission mechanism can effectively reduce the side slip and tire wear during the steering process of the sprayer. According to the structural characteristics and operating environment of the high clearance selfpropelled sprayer, combined with the design requirements of the steering system, on the basis of the design and calculation of the steering positioning parameters, a steering transmission mechanism suitable for high clearance selfpropelled sprayer was designed, meanwhile, the threedimensional model was established, the parallel wheel jump test was conducted by ADAMS/Car, and the steering positioning parameters were optimized using ADAMS/Insight. The simulation results revealed that in the simulation test of the optimized steering system with a wheel jump amplitude of ±50 mm, the change range of the front wheel toein was reduced by 72%, the change range of the front wheel camber angle was reduced by 58.4%, and the change range of the vertical axis inclination angle was reduced by 16.9%, the change was significantly smaller and more gradual, which improved the handling stability of the whole vehicle and reduced the tire wear during the steering process. Based on the selfdeveloped 3WPG-3000 high clearance selfpropelled spray, a real vehicle test platform for the steering system was built, and the concentric steering trajectory of the spray under different steering modes was measured by the GPS equipment. The test results revealed that the steering radius was 6.85 m under twowheel steering mode and 5.12 m under fourwheel steering mode. At the same time, the designed steering system could complete the concentric circle rotation well in different modes, which could meet the steering requirements of the sprayer under different working conditions.

Abstract180)      PDF (2768KB)(512)      
 Seed quality is of great significance for increasing yield and harvest. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of extracting single cotton seed and automatically identifying damaged cotton seed based on machine vision.In this study, the maximum class method was used to automatically select the threshold value. The expansion processing and the region attribute measurement function was also used to extract the single cottonseed image. Wavelet denoising based on improved threshold was used to enhance the image. Through the study of numerous singlegrain cottonseed images, the optimal threshold for segmenting the damaged and the whole cottonseed was found. The damaged area features were obtained by multiplying the segmented images and morphological processing. Finally, the damaged cottonseeds were identified using the method of obtaining the connected region designed into a software with Matlab App Designer.The average accuracy of this system to damaged cottonseed was 89%, which was better than soft threshold function, hard threshold function and softhard threshold compromise function with average accuracy of 83.5%, 85% and 87.5%, respectively.

Li Wei, Li Shangping, Pan Jiafeng, Li Kaihua, Yan Yuxiao
Abstract171)      PDF (3909KB)(370)      
Due to the change of the ridge spacing of sugarcane plants, it is difficult for the conventional cultivator to control the quality of soil cultivation on both sides of the ridge, which causes inadequate soil cultivation, i.e., the “crater”phenomenon. We thus developed a multi-functional sugarcane intertillage cultivator and proposed a machine learning-based method to locate and identify sugarcane seedlings and calculate the coordinate classification during the intertillage period. Based on the YOLOv4 network, the method established a recognition model, which identifies and locates the area between the roots and the soil and accesses the coordinates. Then, the Support Vector Machine divided the coordinate data into two groups and processed them separately in real-time to obtain the tilt value. Finally, the data were adjusted according to the tilt value to modify the quantity and direction of soil supply. The results of the present study indicate that in use of the YOLOv4 recognition model, the recognition accuracy can reach 95.50%, and the classification accuracy using the SVM is 92.60%, which realizes the real-time dynamic recognition and classification calculation of sugarcane seedlings in the intertillage period, and provided data foundation for the development of intelligent sugarcane protection and joint operation machinery.

Liao Peiwang, Wang Renbing, Gong Jianxun, Liu Kaiai, Zhang Aimin, Li Wei.
Abstract166)      PDF (2819KB)(257)      
 Given the low density of cotton stalk compression baling and the poor reliability of compression baling equipment, the single factor and central combination tests of cotton stalk compression baling were carried out using the designed baling test bench of cotton stalk. In the test, cotton stalk moisture content, cotton stalk cutting length, cotton stalk feed amount, and compression piston compression frequency were taken as the test factors. The compression piston end face pressure, compression chamber pressure, and baling density of cotton stalk were taken as the test performance indexes. The regression equation between each test factor and test performance index was established. The influence rule of each test factor on the performance index was determined, optimization calculation was carried out, and the optimization results were verified by the tests. The results showed that the optimal combination of cotton stalk compression baling had cotton stalk moisture content of 30%, cotton stalk cutting length of 25 cm, cotton stalk feed amount of 2.15 kg/s, compression piston compression frequency of 110 times/min, compression piston end pressure of 13.84 kN, compression chamber pressure of 3.36 kN, and cotton straw baling density of 145.83 kg/m3, which provided theoretical guidance for the design of cotton stalk compression and baling machine.
