Research and Application of the Same Wheel Diameter Small Turning Radius Agile Steering System for Corn Harvester in Hilly Areas
To solve the problem of mechanized harvesting of corn in hilly areas,experiments were conducted to optimize the transmission mechanism,steering mechanism,and chassis structure of self-propelled corn harvesting machinery.A same wheel diameter small turning radius agile steering system for self-propelled corn harvester was designed.The results show that the corn harvester equipped with the same wheel diameter small turning radius agile steering system is suitable and has good passability for work in hilly areas,with high work efficiency and good work quality,and has been widely used in hilly areas through scientific demonstration and promotion.The machine can not only save labor costs,but also release labor,improve economic and social benefits,at the meanwhile protect the ecological environment.
