| description | IntroductionTo enhance the application of mechanized harvesting and supplement research on harvesting theory in mudflat-buried shellfish harvesting in China, a brush-screen cooperative mudflat-buried shellfish vibration harvester was designed.MethodsThe harvester is primarily composed of a crank rocker double-layer vibrating screen, two stage rolling brush, and a conveyor chain. White clams (Mactra veneriformis) cultured in mudflats were used as the research objects in this paper, and the mechanics and motion states of the shellfish on the vibrating screen were analyzed. The shellfish harvesting simulation response surface experiments based on the discrete element method (DEM) were conducted to analyze the influence of the main operating parameters on the quantity of shellfish harvested.ResultsThe results revealed that the number of shellfish harvested was significantly influenced (p< 0.01) by vibrating screen amplitude, first-stage spiral rolling stainless steel brush rotation rate, and harvester travel speed. The optimal combination of key parameters was 1.4 mm, 40 rpm, and 10 m/min, respectively. With these values, the projected shellfish crushing rate was 2.82% and the shellfish harvesting efficiency was 125 pieces/m2. The equipment was then manufactured and the shellfish harvesting verification test was performed under the same operating parameters as the simulation. Test results indicated that the harvesting efficiency of the equipment was 114 pieces/m2 and the shellfish crushing rate was 6.97%.DiscussionThe shellfish harvesting work could be completed by the equipment effectively and with low loss. The results of this study provide a theoretical reference for a novel mechanized method of harvesting mudflat-buried shellfish. |
