Design and experiment of corn precision no-till planter in drip irrigation area
[Objective]In the hope of developing no-till seeding machines with reliable operation and a-daptable to the cropping pattern in Xinjiang.[Methods]The no-till planter stubble clearing mechanism,seed rower and drip irrigation belt laying mechanism were designed by means of motion analysis and structural design,and field verification tests were conducted.[Results]The machine had good trafficability characteris-tic at the forward velocity of 5 km/h,and the stubble clearing rate reached79.44%,meeting the requirements of no-till seeding operation;The seeding pass index was 91.33%,the missed seeding index was 3.18%,the reseeding index was 5.49%,and the seeding uniformity met the industry standard.[Conclusion]The corn precision no-till planter in drip irrigation area meets the design requirements and can effectively carry out stubble clearing,seeding and drip irrigation belt laying operations.
