description The difficulties of threshing and separation of millet have not been solved yet which has restricted the development of the millet industry because of the special biological structure and lack of professional agricultural machinery. In order to improve the quality of millet harvest and meet the market demand for millet, in this paper, according to the branching structure of millet, the millet earhead model was established by Discrete Element Method. Using virtual models of millet and device, the simulation tests were carried out whose results have shown that the threshing effect of the rasp-bar threshing element is better than that of the teeth threshing element. Then the rotor structure was optimized into a combined type of the rasp-bar and the teeth. A three-factor five-level quadratic orthogonal rotation combination test was carried out whose results have shown that the combined rotor can meet the requirements of millet harvest.
