Current status and prospects of mechanized harvesting technology and equipment for fresh corn
With the adjustment of the national planting industry structure,the planting area of fresh corn in China continues to increase,but the mechanized harvesting rate was low,and the demand for fresh corn harvesting machinery was urgent.Based on the current development status of China's fresh corn industry,the research status of mechanized harvesting equipment and technology for fresh corn at home and abroad was elaborated.Through analysis,it was found that the main problems of mechanized harvesting equipment for fresh corn in China were high ear damage rate,high grain breakage rate,and high impurity content.In order to promote the rapid development of mechanized technology and equipment for fresh corn in China,it was proposed that research on mechanized harvesting technology for fresh corn in China should focus on breaking through key technologies such as flexible ear picking,multi-fan negative pressure impurity removal,flexible conveying and collection,and efficient and clean harvesting of straw.It was also recommended to develop harvester models of multiple specifications based on different planting areas of fresh corn.
