The 3-D parametric model of the corn harvester was established with Pro/E. Then, the model was put into UG to conduct Boolean operation to reduce the amount of constrains. Consequently, the model was simplified and workload was cut down. The preprocessed model was import to the ADAMS environment to build the virtual prototype model. A comparison between the simulation and the road test verified that the virtual prototype model met the requirements of virtual experiment. The extreme roll angle and maximum climbing slope were obtained by ADAMS simulation to avoid hazardous vehicle test on sloping area. In addition, the terrain trafficability of the corn harvester on the weak ground was analyzed with cone index.

Then the selected spectrum composition was used as reference basis for spectral image acquisition in greenhouse cucumber recognition, and the results of image processing indicated that the images within sensitive bands were captured to cope with the similar-color segmentation problem under complex environment effectively. By comparing the spectral reflectance difference of cucumber plant (fruit, leaf and flower) from visible to infrared region (350-1200 nm), sensitive bands of fruit information were obtained by statistical variance analysis. After that, principal component analysis compressed the sensitive bands into several new variables that were the linear combination of original spectral data. In order to set up the three layer verifying model of back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN), the first four PCs (principle components) were applied as inputs of BP-ANN, and the values of type of cucumber organs were applied as outputs. In this model, the trained network arrives at a 100% identification rate for 120 training samples as well as a 95% identification rate for 40 test samples. It proved that the selected spectrum composition could better reflect the characteristic difference of cucumber organs.

A bivariate control fertilization sequence decision-making method based on relevance vector machine was presented. The method took into account the interaction among the before-current-after, three adjacent fertilizing rates, the response time and working dead features of active roller length and speed control. An optimal control parameters decision-making was carried out using non-linear programming method. Finally, the problem of small fertilizing rate under big active roller length with small rotational speed was avoided. The impact of the fluted metering roller's pulsation was reduced. In order to coordinate the limited computation power of the vehicle mounted computer and respond time of bivariate control, relevant vector machine was utilized to achieve a near-optimal real-time computing for fertilization control sequences. Laboratory test results showed that the average error was 4%, which was smaller than the original method, while this method was effective to avoid the extreme case that the motor could not drive the roller shaft with improper parameters. The field test showed this kind of applicator could response to the instruction in time, and it had good accuracy and consistency, which proved its practicality.

Linear velocity and angular velocity of flap plate varied with time according to sinusoidal law. During one clod cleaning cycle, two flapping processes were completed, and the most intense flapping status appeared twice. Clod cleaning effect of the second half of the flapping path was better than that of the first half. The flapping strength of the plates decreased from the ends to the middle, and some of the middle path was viewed as invalid section. Clod cleaning experiment showed that clod cleaning rate was mainly affected by flapping times taken by peanut clusters, and dropped peanut loss was mainly determined by angle amplitude of the flap plates. Higher vibration frequency and smaller angel amplitude were preferred during field working.

The threshing test between the different speed and single speed rotor was preceded. The 3-D image and mathematical modal were built by Matlab on the basis of measured data of mixture and its compositions.

It was found that the dimension of the upper panel was an important factor which influenced the modal nature. With the increasing of upper panel width b, its natural frequency f monotonically increased, and its relative deformation ratio γ quickly decreased at first and then decreased to a constant value gradually. With the increasing of thickness h, monotonic increasing tendency of f and γ was received. Then, experiments were carried out by assembling the sensor on a support stand which fixed on the vibrating cleaning sieve, the results showed that the sensor can identify grain impact signal effectively from vibrating noise. The time band of grain impact signal acquired using sensor with b of 30 mm width was less than 2 ms which was much small than the signal acquired using sensor with b of 120 mm.

It also derived from the point of the minimum consumption of time when combine harvester turned direction at the end of the field. Experiments of the relationship between grain loss rate and the travel speed were conducted, and the mathematical model was established. So were experiments of the relationship between threshing-separating consumption power and the travel speed, and the mathematical model. Based on these experiments and mathematic model, the best travel speed formula was derived. It turned out that rotary walking path should be used to harvest the wheat by the tangential-axial combine harvester. When the harvesting travel speed was less than 1.0 m/s, the equivalent feed rate was less than 7.79 kg/s, the total grain loss rate was less than 19.33 g/s (that was 0.609%), and the total power consumption of the threshing-separating equipment was less than 83.94 kW.

The relation equation between divider width and corn plant bending property was acquired by data process. An important factor on effecting dividing and conveying plants was found, that was the bending property of corn plants. A basis was provided for the divider design. It is interpreted in theory that the higher divider positioned the slighter the plants damaged. The difference between bending strength of different regional corn plants was compared and analyzed.

During microwave puffing process, microwave intensity was 20 W/g and initial moisture content of blackcurrant slice was 35%. While the initial conditions were the same with that for microwave puffing method except for 30 kPa vacuum pressure during the microwave-vacuum puffing process. The conclusion was obtained that for microwave-vacuum puffing technology, the expansion ratio was first increasing and then almost in constant. The puffing process was in the accelerating dehydration period in first 10 s, and subsequently kept the constant dehydration phase. While during microwave puffing process, the expansion ratio and dehydration rate were first increasing and then decreasing. The anthocyanin content of blackcurrant slice obtained by the microwave-vacuum method was higher than the microwave method. Therefore, the microwave puffing characteristics combining with vacuum technology were superior to that produced at the atmosphere pressure.

Bionic nonsmooth rape cleaning screen was made to compare with the common smooth screen in the field. The result showed that the draught angle basically had no influence on the micro flow field on the adjacent screen layer. The bionic feature would destruct the little vortex among the holes into two smaller vortexes which reduced the contact possibility between tiny rape materials and cleaning screen and lowered the adhesion degree. The result also showed that the bionic convex surface could lower adhesion better than bionic concave surface.
