Abstract: To ensure the sustainable water development of regional agricultural and improve the use efficiency of water, it is very important to optimize the allocation of water resources. There are many uncertain factors in the process of the water resources allocation in the food production areas with the change of the system environment in China, and in the pursuit of the minimum cost, there are also many uncertain risks. Choosing the 5 important agricultural regions, i.e. Qitaihe, Jiamusi, Shuangyashan, Hegang and Jixi located on the Sanjiang Plain as the study area, by using the method of interval two-stage stochastic programming method and introducing the risk appetite, the surface water and groundwater joint scheduling is established under the condition of water resources optimal allocation, and the water deficit and the optimal configuration of water law for each administrative region are analyzed. The results show that the surface water is much deficient in Shuangyashan and Jixi during the water distribution process, where the mainly exploited is the groundwater; for Jiamusi, which is an administrative region with larger grain production area, the water demand is bigger, and the external water supply is more; for Qitaihe and Hegang where the planting areas are lesser, considering the cost of water diversion and grain yield, the less external water is needed to pilot to reduce the cost. The calculation results show that the changing rules of water deficit and the optimal allocation of water under different administrative region and different water level are as follows: Qitaihe and Jixi have small change under different water level, Jiamusi and Shuangyashan have great change under different water level, and the minimum cost of water under the optimal allocation is 736.12×108-843.40×108yuan. At last, the paper analyzes the minimum cost of optimal allocation of water resources under different probability of water level and different risk preference scenario on Sanjiang Plain. Because under the low water level, it is easy to cause the high demand for water resource system, and an increased level of risk aversion can be instead of water cost increase, the cost of water shortage will be increased to meet the basic requirements of crops, which changes from 344.2×108-355.4×108to 411.5×108-430.7×108yuan; at a high level of the water, the increase of the level of risk aversion can reduce the cost which caused by the loss of oversupply, and thus reduce the total cost of water from 422.5×108-435.3×108to 351.7×108-365.3×108yuan; in the middle level, it is between low and high water level. This model conjoins the advantages of the interval of two-stage stochastic programming and the characteristics of the risk value model. In the joint allocation of water resources, the model comprehensively considers the cost and risk, effectively saves water cost, and enhances the ability of water resources system to avoid risk. The model makes up for the deficiency of the traditional interval two-stage stochastic programming method, introduces the risk preference of decision makers to find the minimum cost of water resources’ optimal allocation scheme under the condition of uncertainty, avoids concentrating the risk loss in a certain region, and facilitates reasonable water resource allocation for policymakers in different administrative regions on the Sanjiang Plain. The water allocation in different region and different time realizes the dynamic distribution of multi-water source irrigation system. This model can ensure the need of crop grow when the irrigation water resources are rationally configured in the growing period of the crop, and effectively avoids the waste of water resources, as well as improves the efficiency of irrigation water, which is of great significance for sustainable use of water resources. The research improves the utilization efficiency of water resources and provides the basis for the planning of regional water management, which can more truly reflect the uncertainty for optimization allocation of water resources. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering.

Abstract: Microporous concrete irrigation emitters were prepared with dry pressing method and then cured by an atomizing humidifying means. The effect of particle size of sand and cement content in raw material on the flexural strength, open porosity, pore size and hydraulic performance of the irrigation emitters was studied. By testing the hydraulic performance of the irrigation emitters, the variation of the water flow rate of irrigation emitters with time was analyzed, and the reason causing the variation was investigated. The particle size of sand has little effect on the flexural strength, open porosity and mean pore size of microporous concrete. As cement increases, the microporous concrete increases gradually in flexural strength, decreases obviously in open porosity and gradually in mean pore size. The water flow rate of irrigation emitters decreases obviously with the increase of cement in raw material, and decreases slightly as the particle size of sand decreases. When the cement content of raw material was 12%, the irrigation emitters are of high water flow rate but easy to be destroyed because of low strength. When the cement content of raw material was 21%, the irrigation emitters have good reliability due to their high strengths but are hardly to be used in practice because of very low water flow rate. When the cement content of raw material was 15%~18%, the irrigation emitters possess both good reliability and relative high water flow rate due to their suitable strengths, open porosities and mean pore sizes. During hydraulic performance testing, the soluble alkali in microporous concrete was dissolved and taken out by water, which makes the water flow rate with time of the irrigation emitters increase slightly because of the gradual increase of open porosity and mean pore size. Nevertheless, the slight increase of water flow rate has little impact on irrigation in practice. The microporous concrete irrigation emitters are promising good subirrigation emitters. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: In order to improve the pesticide application efficiency and reduce the agricultural chemicals lost in orchard spraying, an automatic target spraying system based on the 3WGZ-500 self-propelled sprayer was designed in view of excess spraying and ineffective spray at fruit trees clearances during traditional spray operation. Ten ultrasonic sensors were fixed on the two sides of the orchard sprayer at 15° intervals, which were used to measure the distance between the nozzles and sprayer targets. The sensor measure range was 0.35~2 m and emission angle was 60°. Based on the sensor signals, three channel solenoid valves by side were used to control the switch of nozzles at the corresponding position. The experiment was worked at the five years old apple orchard, test spray pressure was 0.5 MPa and operating speed was 1.3 km/h, 1.7 km/h, 4.5 km/h and 7.2 km/h respectively. The result showed that the operating speed had little effect on pesticide application efficiency at the condition of with target spraying system and without target spraying system. This target spraying system can reduce unnecessary spraying chemical pesticides. The pesticide application efficiency was 35.8% with target spraying system, which increased 29.7% compared to without target spraying system’s 27.6% and increased 91.4% compared with traditional spray’s 18.7%. The system can effectively reduce the pollution to the environment. Ground loss rate at different operating speeds was proximity. The ground loss rate was 13.3% with target spraying system, which reduced by 42% compared to without target spraying system’s 18.86%. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: This article proposed a new method for fast measurement of the volume and surface area (VSA) of spheroid agricultural products based on 3D wire frame model via image processing using an Android device (AD). The spheroid product counting algorithm software was developed in Java combined with OpenCV library that uses AD to measure the VSA of spheroid agricultural products. The target photos were taken in normal conditions by AD. The image processing was used to get image, segment image, generate binarization image, filter noise, and calculate the VSA according to the coordinate of three-dimensional wireframe model. Using this method to measure the ball with different diameters at six distances that between 100 mm and 350 mm, and the segment spacing was 50 mm, which verified that the camera distortion was less than 0.3%, and the contour size of the measured object had scarcely effect on the measurement accuracy. The proposed method was applied to measure the VSA of 10 different citrus, apple and pear, and then all the fruits were measured by drainage method to get their volume and scanning method to attain their surface area. The test result shows that the correlation coefficient among proposed method, drainage method and scanning method was more than 0.98. The results indicated that the introduced method could be utilized as a rapid and non-destructive method for the AD measurement of different spheroid produces of agricultural products. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: To explore a method for detecting solids content of soybean milk, network analyzer and open-ended coaxial-line probe were applied to study the influence of frequency (20~4 500 MHz), temperature (20~80) and solid content (2.00~7.01 g/(100 mL)) on dielectric parameters (relative dielectric constant Ε’ and dielectric loss factor Ε″) of soybean milk. The models describing the permittivities as functions of temperature and solid content were built, and its feasibility to predict solid content using obtained permittivities were verified. The results showed that over the frequency range of 20~4 500 MHz, Ε’ was decreased with an increase of frequency, and Ε″ was increased after decrease with increasing frequency. The minimum Ε″ was observed at 600~2 000 MHz. Ε’ was decreased with an increase of temperature, and Ε″ was increased with increasing temperature at low frequency end and decreased at high frequency end. The frequency where minimum Ε″ was increased with increasing temperature. Ε’ was decreased but Ε″ was increased with increasing solid content. At a given frequency, quadratic polynomial could be used to describe the relationship among permittivities (Ε’ and Ε″) and temperature and solid content. The determination coefficient of the built model was 0.989 for Ε’ (100 MHz) and 0.990 for Ε″ (20 MHz). The model verification results showed that the determination coefficient was 0.978 between the calculated solid content using obtained Ε″ at 20 MHz and the measured ones. This study indicated that permittivities could be used to detect the solid contents of soybean milk. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: The cleaning performance of cleaning device greatly affects the working performance of the machine. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the uneven air-flow field in the longitudinal axial flow full-feeding air-and-screen cleaning device, the mixed flow field produced by the fan and the threshing roller was numerically simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. A structure of fan with double air-ducts and six air-outlets was proposed based on the longitudinal axial flow full-feeding cleaning device. By comparing and analyzing the improved structures, the air speed of the sieve has the influence on the distribution of the full air-flow field. At the same time, the orthogonal simulation was carried out on a new type of cleaning device with the three factors (the fan speed, the incident angle of the fan, the included angle of the sieve) in Z section, and the influence of the three factors was analyzed. The optimal combinations are as follows: the incident angle of the fan is 30°, the included angle of sieve is 40°, the speed of fan is 1 900 r/min. With the best combination of these structural parameters, the speed of overall air flow in the front and the rear of sieve is uniform and efficient, and it is more beneficial to high-load cleaning. Finally, field tests verified the accuracy of the improved structure and optimization program. The loss rate of the rice is 0.91% and the impurity rate is 0.87%. The loss rate of the wheat is 0.82% and impurity rate is 0.76%, it greatly improved the cleaning performance of the longitudinal axial flow. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: Intelligent agricultural vehicle can significantly improve the production quality and efficiency, reduce environmental pollution, and take advantage of the agricultural resources efficiently. So an automatic guidance control system in agricultural vehicle was implemented by integrating the hardware and software. The hardware included sensors, actuators and CAN-Bus. The software was developed with multithread programming technology in Visual Studio 2005 platform based on Windows operating system. Open-loop transfer function model of the heading control system and the lateral control system were established via the model of the vehicle motion and the steering system. Model of the vehicle motion was established according to the kinematic characteristics, and model of the steering system was identified according to the closed-loop response curve. Then the heading controller and the lateral controller were designed via PID control theory. Tests results showed that the hardware and software system were running stability. With the initial heading deviations of -86° and 84°, the adjusting time were both in 2 s, the turning precisions were both in 1°. With the initial lateral deviations of 0.7 m and 1.2 m, the maximum values of the lateral deviation were 10.4 cm and 9.2 cm respectively, the mean values of the lateral deviation were 6.4 cm and 3.5 cm respectively, and the standard deviations of the lateral deviation were 2.6 cm and 1.7 cm, respectively. So the proposed automatic guidance control system can make the vehicle track the desired path smoothly and steadily with a centimetre-level tracking precision. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: For an anaerobic fermentation system, the temperature is one of key factors which affect the efficiency of biogas production. A parabolic trough concentrator (PTC) was used as the heat source for an 8 m3underground anaerobic digester. To improve the efficiency of concentrating solar collectors and the biogas productivity of traditional anaerobic fermentation system, the sizes of important components in the digester were determined, and the energy balance was also calculated. Moreover, the angle change of solar concentrator in Yangling was counted, the angle of the collector during one year was optimized, and the inclination angle and installation method of the concentrator bracket were also designed. It was found that feed heat loss (16 077.31 kJ/d) and wall heat loss (23 180.01 kJ/d) were the two main heat loads in this system. The key parameters of PTC were determined: the size of aperture was 2.4 m, the focal distance was 0.6 m, the area of collector was 4.16 m2, and the diameter of collector pipe was 0.016 8 m. In addition, the heat transfer of anaerobic reactor was simulated through Fluent software. The simulation results revealed that interior temperature in the digester could be maintained at 35. A PTC-based anaerobic digester with similar parameters of simulation model was designed to verify the simulation effect. The experiment results indicated that the temperature range of material liquid in the reactor could be kept at 33.6~35.8, approximately consistent with the Fluent simulation. The results in this study provide a new solution for efficient and low-cost biogas fermentation device. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: In order to improve the classification accuracy and reduce computation complexity, a hyperspectral remote sensing data classification method based on sparse non-negative least-squares coding was proposed. By adopting non-negative least-squares, the test samples were expressed as a linear combination of training samples, and the obtained coefficients were used as its feature vector. As a result of the non-negative constraint, the feature vectors were sparse, which can not only improve the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, but also enhance the discrimination performance of algorithm. At last, the minimizing residual was used to classify the test samples. The experimental verifications of the proposed method were carried out on AVIRIS Indian Pines and Salinas Valley hyperspectral remote sensing data, the classification accuracies of the proposed method were 85.31% and 99.56%, and the Kappa coefficients were 0.816 3 and 0.986 7, respectively. The proposed method was compared with PCA, SVM and SRC in terms of classification accuracy and Kappa coefficients on two databases, experiment results showed that the proposed method was superior to PCA, SVM and SRC. The proposed approach was valuable for hyperspectral data classification with low computational cost and high classification accuracy, it was a better method of hyperspectral remote sensing data classification. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: In order to reduce the misdetection ratio and false detection ratio of small casting defects in X radiographic testing, a dynamic defects tracking and detection method based on selective attention mechanism and deep learning feature matching was proposed. The misdetection of image sequences was eliminated with attention region detection of individual images and the false detection was also eliminated with feature matching among the image sequence. In the phase of individual images detection, a search method based on central-peripheral gradient was proposed to simulate the central-peripheral difference operation of biological vision. And the gradient threshold was defined. Then by comparing each regional gradient with threshold, the suspicious defect area was directly detected according to the gradient threshold. The defects did not need to be segmented from the suspicious image area. So the method avoided the great influence of the defects segmentation accuracy rate to defects tracking. In the phase of tracking among the image sequence, referencing to the deep learning hierarchy of human visual perception system, a deep learning network based on convolution neural was established. The gray level signal of the suspicious defect area was directly used as input. The network could automatically extract the essential feature which made up the deep learning feature vector. The similarity of feature vector was defined based on Euclidean distance. Defect tracking was achieved by similarity matching of suspicious defect regions in continuous frames. Then the noise and other false defects were eliminated. The experiments show that the false detection rate and the misdetection rate are less than 3%. The detection accuracy rate is more than 97%, which proved the method is advanced and effective. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: In order to realize kinetostatics analysis of spatial 4-UPS-RPS 5-DOF parallel mechanism, the expression of kinetostatics was derived by d’ Alembert principle, and the force state of mechanism was analyzed. Firstly, the model of inverse displacement, inverse velocity and inverse acceleration of 4-UPS-RPS parallel mechanism were educed. And then, the kinetostatics model of 4-UPS-RPS 5-DOF parallel mechanism was established by the d’ Alembert principle, the expression of driving force and constraining force were deduced. Finally, combined with examples, the driving force of driving limbs and constraining force of spherical hinge on moving platform were carried out by numerical calculation and virtual simulation, separately. The results of force analysis shows that the driving force of driving limbs and constraining force of spherical hinge on moving platform are varied with the position and posture of 4-UPS-RPS 5-DOF parallel mechanism, and the force value obtained by numerical calculation and by virtual simulation are basically the same. So far the numerical verification and virtual simulation verification of the kinetostatics analysis results are realized. The research can not only provide theoretical basis for solution of driving force, constraining force and structure design of 4-UPS-RPS parallel mechanism, but also suggest a way of thinking about force analysis for other spatial parallel mechanism. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: Leaf area index (LAI) is one of important parameters of quantitative description of leaf growth situation. Compared with effective LAI which is influenced by gathering condition among leaves greatly, actual LAI can reflect the real crop growth status more accurately. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can obtain high precision crop structure information quickly such as height and biomass. But in terms of leaf area information, the major part is effective LAI. Reference to the idea of voxelization, the method was put forward for estimating actual leaf area of maize according to the leaf and its projective plane’s mathematical relationship in voxel, which makes full use of TLS’s advantage of gathering vertical information. The point data which can perform maize actual growth state as the data source directly. And the maize point cloud was divided into a series of leaf unit by voxel. The leaf unit area based on the leaf and its projective plane’s mathematical relationship in voxel were calculated. Then the maize actual leaf area was calculated. The different TLS was used to obtain four sample’s maize point clouds which were different in varieties and scales in both Beijing City and Hebei Province, respectively. The point obtained from sample points (No. 1, 2, 3) is individual maize point, and the actual LAI was calculated in different voxel sizes. The main conclusions are as follow: calculated LAI has a good correlation with measured LAI as all of decision coefficients are greater than 0.8, it proved that this method is credibly. The optimal voxel size is 0.17 cm, 0.15 cm and 0.15 cm, respectively. Relevant with the optimal voxel size, RMSE is 61.898 cm2, 44.058 cm2and 42.844 cm2respectively, the relative error between the plant total leaf area is -2.678%, 0.619% and -0.474% accordingly. The result means that this method has a high accuracy. In the sample point No.4, the relative error between calculated LAI and measured LAI is -14.663%, the calculated LAI is smaller than measured LAI. All in all, the method about estimating actual leaf area of maize according to the leaf and its projective plane’s mathematical relationship in voxel is feasible with high precision. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: Solar withering is the first and essential processing during Oolong tea manufacturing, which can improve and develop a pleasant scent, especially for the floral fruity scent. The traditional technology employed hot air withering in rainy days, which lacks of light radiation, the quality of Oolong tea has no fruit floral odour and the taste is niffy green and astringency. In order to make up the light waves in rainy days or instability sunlight, an artificial light source could be considered for quality improvement during withering process in Oolong tea. In this study, solar, LED (red, yellow, blue) and dark treatments were projected for the test of physiological response, physicochemical, aroma, sensory evaluation and efficiency. Firstly, the constant temperature and humidity containing LED resource withering device for Oolong tea was developed, mainly including LED panel, air circulation channel, temperature/humidity transducer and uniform plate. The temperature/humidity transducer was applied to control the fixed conditions; Air circulation channel was projected as a medium to dehumidify and ensure the circulation of air in the box. Secondly, the test of physiological response indicated that fresh tea leaves plucking from tea plants had a limited capacity to absorb light, the net photosynthetic and transpiration rate of tea leaves increased at first and then decreased, reached peak at 10~15 min; However, the dark treatment remained negative value(-2.5 μmol/(m2·s)), mainly conduct respiration action, and when photo synthetically active radiation was 300 μmol/(m2·s), the time of withering by 30 min could be well. Thirdly, the test of biochemical component indicated that treatments exposed to different light significances increased the content of water extracts, amino acid, soluble sugar and flavones, boosted the conversion of polyphenol and decreased content of caffeine. Then, the volatile components of different treatments were assayed by chromatography-mass spectrometry detection (GC-MS). Principal component analysis method was used to evaluate the results. In contrast to dark treatment, the relative content of alpha-farnesene and nerolidol increased by 11.42% and 30.65%, respectively. The score of aroma quality exposed to solar was the highest, yellow and blue light had a bit better than red light, and dark treatment ranked the last. The sensory evaluation of quality in raw tea showed a similar trend to the results of principal component analysis. Moreover, based on light withering, the productive efficiency can be improved by 2.6 times, the grade of tea quality increased 1~2 levels, and the economic benefit enhanced by approximately 63%. In conclusion, light can regulate and improve the taste and volatiles of Oolong tea, selecting LED as an artificial light to substitute for solar withering could be a promising technology, especially for the standardization during Oolong tea manufacturing. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: In order to solve the shearing damage caused by the track combine harvester continuous steering in the field, increasing the steering flexibility of vehicle, and improving operation efficiency, the driving performance simulation test of a pivot steering mechanism at the flat hard pavement and heavy clay was conducted. In the test, the multi-body dynamics model of the combine harvester was established in RecurDyn software, and the movement state was obtained, including steering angular velocity, steering angular acceleration, steering radius and output torque. On this basis, the new type pivot steering mechanism and the walking performance test harvester were trial-produced, and a large number of experiments were carried out. Test results show that, under the same steering mode condition, the differential steering output torque in paddy field is maximum, up to 5 668.2 N·m, much larger than that at the concrete floor, which is 2 268.2 N·m, at the same time, the differential steering output torque is the biggest of the three steering modes. As the rotate speed of the driving wheel is 75 r/min, the angular velocity at the concrete floor is 0.610 rad/s, and that of the paddy field is 0.592 rad/s, which are improved by 87.7% and 88.5% separately; the minimum steering radius in the paddy field is 0.098 m, and that of the concrete floor is 0.082 m, which decrese the steering occupied area significately. The proposed differential steering mechanism improves the walking performance of the combine harvester greatly. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: To avoid the harms caused by the peak ammonia and nitrite produced during the ammonia release period, and increase the productivity and reduce the cost, operations under variable flow rates were investigated. To obtain the proper parameters for variable flow rates, the characteristics of tilapia ammonia release were firstly studied. After then, the effects of different flow rates on the nitrification rates and water qualities of recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) were studied. The results showed that during feeding interval, the highest ammonia release rate (0.21~0.23 g/h) was found in 4~8 h, while in other stages the ammonia releasing rate was 0.08~0.09 g/h. Moreover, no obvious effects of flow rates on nitrification abilities were observed and the maximum ammonia oxidizing rate (7.72 g/(m3·h)) was higher than the maximum nitrite oxidizing rate (7.21 g/(m3·h)) in nitrifying biofilm, indicating that mass transfer did not greatly affect the nitrification process. Besides, high flow rate (750 L/h) in RAS produced lower ammonia and nitrite than those of low flow rate (375 L/h), which also exhibited peak values of ammonia (3.26~3.37 mg/L) and nitrite (1.32~1.45 mg/L) exceeding the permissive concentrations for tilapia in 12 h. Therefore, the RAS was operated at 750 L/h in 4~8 h and 375 L/h in other time during feeding interval. Lower ammonia and nitrite concentrations (2.03~2.24 mg/L and 0.56~0.62 mg/L) were obtained during the peak stage of ammonia release under variable flow rates. This operation could be achieved just by providing additional pumping for 4 h under 375 L/h during the peak stage of ammonia release, and it could be a reference for economical RAS technique. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: The rigid components are always used in traditional walnut shell-broken kernel-taken device. During working process, the walnut kernel is easy to be excessively broken. The shell-broken rate and kernel-unbroken rate are also low and the adaptability for different kinds of walnut is poor. In order to improve the walnut shell-broken and kernel-unbroken effect, combining with the current research situation of walnut shell breaking by mechanical approaches, a walnut shearing-extrusion flexible shell crushing, kernel taking and shell-kernel separating device was designed. Stiffness at different positions of walnut shell was analyzed by theory of elastic mechanics, which contributed critical force of unstability of different positions. Critical force of cracking and breakage at different positions of walnut shell was disclosed. Conditions for crack extension after walnut shell breakage were analyzed and calculated by fracture mechanics theory. The results demonstrated that when the mean crack length is 20 mm, the critical external force for crack extension is 19.1 N. The single-factor experiment was carried out to analyze the impact of the top and low section belt spacing (A), top and low section velocity difference (B) and extrusion included angle (C) on walnut crushing force. In this way, the optimal combination of three factors (A, B, C) can be identified through the orthogonal experiment. The experimental results indicated that with A of 23 mm, B of 0.19 m/s and C of 45°, the most satisfactory shell-broken effects were obtained, which generated the first grade kernel rate of 75%, the second grade kernel rate of 18%, the kernel cracking rate of 5% and the kernel-unseen rate of 2%. In other words, under this condition, the shell-broken rate reached 98% and the kernel-unbroken rate reached 93%. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: On the basis of studying both at home and abroad, not only the orientation of the corn harvester rear axle pivot had been considered, but also the track width differences between front axle and rear axle had been taken into account, thus a more accurate quasi-static lateral stability mathematical model was constructed. Then lateral stability experiment and simulation analysis were carried out in order to verify the validity of the model. Accordingly the lateral stability influence factors were obtained. Afterwards, each influence factor was firstly set at a certain range of values, then the value range of each influence factor was converted into an identical range [-1, 1], taking advantage of encoding transform. Therefore the curve of lateral stability indicator λ changing with the varying of different influence factors could be drawn in the same picture which could directly show the impact extent each factor on the lateral stability. The analysis results showed that the main influence factors of corn harvester quasi-static lateral stability were wheel base x, the height of corn harvester center of gravity h, the distance between the center of gravity and front axle a, as well as front axle track width t1. In the end, this paper also put forward several measures to improve the lateral stability of the whole machine. When the center of gravity is lowered by 100 mm, the load ratio of the front and rear axle is increased to 4, as well as the symmetric machine model is adopted. The result shows that the alteral critical angle of the corn harvester can be increased from 24.8° to 29.52° and the lateral stability can be raised by 19.03%. The establishment of corn harvester quasi-static lateral stability mathematical model can provide a foundation for corn harvester overall arrangement and structure design. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: The 3QXZ-6 seed corn detasseling machine was designed to improve the mechanical level during corn cultivation. The machine was consisted of profiling mechanism, hydraulic driving system and plant-profiling controlled system. The profiling mechanism was structured as a parallelogram. Roller was motivated by the load-sensing hydraulic system, and height adjustment was manipulated by cylinder, which was driven through proportional control hydraulic system. In a set distance, if the lower photoelectric signal is continuously lost, it indicates the plant is short, and if the upper photoelectric signal is continuously received, it indicates the plant is relatively tall. This is how the plant height profiling is fuzzily controlled. The test on synchronization performance of roller rotation speed, response time of controlling system, and hydraulic cylinder speed shows that when the engine rotation speed is around 2 300 r/min, the maximum deviation ratio of roller rotation speed is 4.4%, synchronization tolerance rate is less than 3%, responding time is 0.04 s, cylinder lifting-up speed is 0.21 m/s, and dropping-down speed is 0.27 m/s. Based on the data collected from experiment, a function was built by using control signal t as variable and vertical movement of tassel removal component. Field experiment proves that the 3QXZ-6 seed corn detasseling machine is reliable and highly efficient. It sufficiently meets the agronomy detassling requirement with a detasseling ratio 87.7% averagely. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: An online weighing method for poultry was proposed to meet the demand for online weight grading and weighting of poultry which were carried out on a suspension transportation device. The mechanical model of drawing tension was developed by a force analysis to suspension chain conveyors which was used for butchering the poultry. The method of different weighing heights was proposed to estimate the draw tension of chain and the weight of objects was calculated according to the estimated drawing tension. A weighting test device for the poultry weighting was established. At first, a simulation experiment was carried out and the Matlab and SimMechanics were used to simulate the procedure of online weighting. The results showed that correlation coefficient was 0.999 14 between D-value and drawing tension, and the object weight deviation from simulating estimation to drawing tension was within 15.7 g. Then the experiments were conducted on the same test device and the results showed that correlation coefficient was 0.76 and the correlativity between D-value and drawing tension was significant at a significant level of 0.10. The maximum error was 125.03 g when the object weight was calculated according to D-value. The study suggested that it was realistic to get the object weight on the basis of drawing tension, and the online weighing for poultry carcass could be realized through further improving the measurement accuracy. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: In order to detect the ripe tomato in unstructured environment for robotic harvesting, a tomato recognition algorithm using non-color coding approach was developed. The proposed algorithm was consist of offline training and online recognition. In the process of offline training, a strong classifier was obtained using AdaBoost algorithm with Haar-like features. The Haar-like feature is a kind of non-color coding feature which can be extracted by integral figure calculation. In the online recognition process, the tomato object was detected by using the strong classifier which was obtained in the offline training process. Two couples of comparative tests were conducted to study the influence of the types of Haar-like features and training times on the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results showed that the C-style Haar-like features and 20000 training times were the optimal parameters for the size of training set. The results of online recognition tests indicated that about 93.3% ripe tomatoes existing in the testing samples set were successfully detected. The proposed tomato recognition approach was also successfully applied in the unstructured environment with various disturbances such as occluded, overlapping, and varying illumination, which indicated that the proposed tomato recognition algorithm was self-adaptive and robust. It was available to be applied in the vision recognition system for a harvesting robot. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: The degree of water stress is an important life index for characterizing plant health. In addition, water stress is a reliable foundation of plant precise tending technology system. Therefore, to study the real-time detecting method of water stress for plants has important theoretical significance and practical application value. The research progress of detecting methods of water stress was discussed from two aspects of physiological indexes(stem flow, water potential, transpiration rate, stem water content) and morphology(2D image, 3D image, stem diameter, spectral feature). The detecting theory of each method was also expounded. Compared with each other, advantages and disadvantages of each method were analyzed from the point of practical application. Detecting methods based on physiological indexes had higher measuring precision. But it had complex operation progress and varying degree of destruction to plants. Detecting methods based on morphology had advantages of nondestructive, quick and simple operation. But it had relatively larger measuring error. Some international production organizations and its relative products which had been widely recognized for detecting water stress were also recommended to researchers. Eventually, two research focuses were proposed based on each method’s advantages and disadvantages. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: In order to reveal the efficiency characteristics of axial piston pump and improve the accuracy of efficiency characteristics mechanism model under the whole working conditions, a semi-empirical parametric modeling method based on mechanical forward and backward inference for piston pump efficiency characteristics was proposed. Considering the volume loss caused by oil compressibility and the piston pair coulomb’s friction formed by overturning moment, the flow and torque loss mechanism models were established. Then the nonlinear changing regularity of system parameters contained in the composite parameters of mechanism models was analyzed and the composite parameters empirical formulas were fitted based on measurement data. The piston pump efficiency characteristics semi-empirical parametric model was obtained. The results show that average flow and torque loss estimation error are respectively within 3% and 1% over wide operating ranges of speed 500~3 000 r/min and pressure 2~24 MPa. Composite parameters and corresponding loss energy proportion reflect the efficiency characteristics of piston pump directly. The rapid changes of system parameters, such as oil effective volume elastic modulus and coulomb’s friction coefficient, are the fundamental reasons of volumetric efficiency and mechanical efficiency unable to upgrade again and the piston pump efficiency decreased under extreme conditions. The models established in this paper can be used to investigate energy-saving optimization design, performance evaluation, performance degradation and failure mechanism analysis of piston pump deeply and realistically. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: Aiming at the problems of small amount but large varieties in peanut, low efficiency of artificial shells, high damage rate and low shelling rate of mechanical shelling in peanut breeding research, a shelling scheme which has three-level rotary and single-row three-roll parallel shelling was proposed based on physical and mechanical properties of typical peanut research. The critical components of shelling drum, rotation rod, transmission system were designed, and the peanut sheller prototype was developed. Shelling drum was composed of three sub-rollers which are side-by-side on the same axis, it was able to adjust the distance from the concave screen, and increase or decrease the number of rods. Pneumatic cleaning device was composed of centrifugal fans. Three parameters, including drum rotating speed, hulling interval and hitting times of rods, were selected as experimental factors, the peanut shelling rate and peanut broken injury rate were selected as experimental indexes. Experimental results indicated that drum rotating speed, hulling interval and hitting times of rods all had influence on peanut shelling rate and peanut broken injure rate. The optimum combination indexes were: drum rotating speed of 350 r/min, hulling interval of 20 mm and hitting times of rods of 3. The peanut shelling rate was 99.15% and the peanut broken injury rate was 2.3%. The research results can provide a reference for the development of peanut seed sheller. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: An approach of robust feature recognition and precise path tracking based on two visual field windows was proposed for an AGV to identify multi-branch paths and station point reliably, and to follow guide paths accurately. The whole visual field was used as a pattern recognition window, in which a recognition method based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and BP neural network was developed. Path features were mapped to a high-dimensional space by using the kernel function and then their dimensionalities were reduced by using PCA. After dimensionality reduction, the sample matrices were recognized by utilizing a BP neural network. Besides, a scaling window method based on a vertical view angle and a tilt installation angle of a camera was suggested for a guidance scanning window. In this window, guide paths were simplified according to a linear model and fitted by using the least square method. Path deviations with respect to the fitted straight line were estimated for AGV guidance. Experimental results show that the KPCA-BP approach improves the real-time performance and robustness of path feature recognition significantly, the average correct rate of which is 99.5% for six types of landmark feature, and that the guidance scanning window decreases the computing error resulted from linear fitting of guide paths effectively, the tracking error of which is no more than 3 mm for linear path and 30 mm for curvilinear path. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: As the important transmission part of the vehicle vibration, the suspension bushing has a significant effect on weakening the vehicle vibration. In the wheel drive electric vehicle, the broadband frequency longitudinal vibration of the vehicle body will be caused by the torque ripple of the hub motor. The traditional rubber bushing has small changes of damping characteristics in broadband frequency ranges and it will not generate high damping to weaken the vibration rapidly on specific frequency band as well. So the hydraulic bushings were used to attenuate the excitation of torque ripple in particular frequency band. Firstly, the accurate finite element model was established and applied to analyze the sensitive factors of mechanical properties of the hydraulic bushing. Then, the design of the hydraulic bushing was performed according to the results of the analyzed sensitive factors. The results illustrated that the hydraulic bushing could substantially decrease the influence on the vehicle body longitudinal vibration by 13.4% whining the range of 0~120 Hz through the reasonable parameters design of rubber shear modulus of the hydraulic bushing, the cross section area of the channel and the numbers of channels, which also supplies the reference of the suspension structure design of the distributed driving electric vehicle. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.

Abstract: The pH value regulating control process has the characteristics of nonlinearity, pure hysteresis, time degeneration and uncertainty in the precision fertigation system. A model described the pH value regulating process was established. The cloud model is a model that can deal with the uncertain transition between qualitative concepts and quantitative description. Based on this, a control algorithm with cloud inference in the variable universe fuzzy-PI controller (CVFPI) was proposed. In this algorithm, the normal cloud model was used to describe certain language concept corresponding to the system error and error rate. The inference of rule premise was realized by X conditional membership cloud while the inference of rule post was realized Y conditional membership cloud. A set of stretching factors with proportional exponential function was used to modify the universe of input and output variable real time, and a two dimensional inference engine based on cloud model was designed to adjust control parameters of PI controller on line. In order to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm, the test platform of pH control process of the fertigation equipment was constructed. Two simulation experiments and two field experiments were carried out using CVFPI, VFPI and PI control algorithm respectively. The contrast testing results demonstrate that the proposed CVFPI control algorithm can meet the requirements of pH process control in the precision fertigation system, it has better characteristics both in dynamic process and steady state. Compared to PI and VFPI, CVFPI has smaller overshoot, shorter stable time and stronger ability of anti-interference. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery. All right reserved.

Abstract: Aiming at the poor separation effect, the lower rate of tuber obvious and the high rate of tuber skin-damage of the rod-link chains of small potato harvester, a poking roller shoving type potato harvester was designed, and the shoving type separate conveying device was studied. The structure and working parameters of the separate device were determined. The device adopts multi-stage roller to continuously push, and realizes the wave type backward separation and transportation of potato-soil. A specific cross mounting angle of the poking teeth on the adjacent poking roller, which ensures the movement track of the potato in the device, was a smooth curve. The quadratic orthogonal rotation combination experiment of three factors were carried out with the moving forward speed, the poking roller speed and hoisting height as experimental factors, the obvious rate and skin-damage rate as experimental indexes. The regression equation was obtained and significance analysis was carried out by using the DPS software. The results showed that the influences on the obvious rate of the respective factors decrease in the order as below, poking roller speed, moving forward speed, and hoisting height, the influences on the skin-damage rate of the respective factors decrease in the order as below, moving forward speed, poking roller speed, and hoisting height, and the moving forward speed of 1.0 m/s, the poking roller speed of 60 r/min and hoisting height of 150 mm were the best combination factors, which leaded to the obvious rate of 99.01%, and the skin-damage rate of 1.24%. The soil was broken in the process of poking tooth rotation. Potato was separated from the soil through picking and throwing of the poking tooth. Compared with the ordinary conveying device, the results show that poking roller shoving type potato harvester had good performance on improving the obvious rate, and had slightly improvement in decreasing the skin-damage rate. © 2016, Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery.
