Abstract:To overcome the difficulties of mountainous orchard transport, a remote control monorail transporter of mountainous orchards was designed. Chain wheel and chain mechanism was used flexibly to drive the machine. The single-track was paved according to the terrain, which met the need of transport in complex terrain. A special structure was installed on the machine to prevent it falling aside and tripping off the track. Using the artificial driving monorail transporter as the research object, the monorail transporter remote control driving system was designed and come out. The experimental results showed that with the load of 300 kg the monorail transporter could climb up the slope no more than 38° and with the load of 1000 kg climbing down ability. The turning radius was no less than 4 m. The remote control distance was as far as 300 m, and the system was reliable and suitable for mountainous orchard operations completely.
