DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION TEST OF HIGH-SPEED SEED GUIDE DEVICE WITH CONICAL SPIRAL AIRFLOW

ABSTRACT During high-speed seeding operations, collisions between seeds and seed guide tubes are very significant, resulting in poor seed spacing uniformity. To solve this problem, a high-speed seed guide device with conical spiral airflow was designed, which can use high-speed positive pressure air...

description ABSTRACT During high-speed seeding operations, collisions between seeds and seed guide tubes are very significant, resulting in poor seed spacing uniformity. To solve this problem, a high-speed seed guide device with conical spiral airflow was designed, which can use high-speed positive pressure airflow to move seeds smoothly. To improve the uniformity of the airflow field in the device, a single-factor test was carried out to determine the reasonable range of each factor. Then, the four-factor and five-level central composite test was carried out. The four main factors were screw pitch, cone angle, width of gap, and angle of air-tube, and the evaluation index was the mean variance of airflow velocity. The test results showed that the optimal parameters of the high-speed seed guide device with conical spiral airflow were a screw pitch of 24.98 mm, cone angle of 7.47/55, width of gap of 5.31 mm, and angle of air-tube of 25.09º. The verification test showed that the relative error between the verification test value and the predicted value was less than 5%, indicating that the model had high reliability. This research can provide references for the research of high-speed seed guide technology and the innovative design of seed guide devices.
