Abstract

In order to solve the problems of high labor intensity and low production efficiency in the cultivation of hemp in hilly areas, the seed arrangement performance of self-propelled hemp seeders was studied. According to the cultivation mode of hemp for the fiber industry in Yunnan, Sichuan, and other hilly areas, the seed metering device for the hemp industry was designed, the seed metering mechanism of hemp was analyzed, and the theoretical value range of design parameters of its key components was determined. The row of kind of wheel speed is obtained by single factor experiment, hole diameter and hole depth and uniformity of the seed, the seed of change rule, on the basis of the quadratic regression orthogonal rotation combination test, two indexes of the regression model, using the regression model of the design parameter optimization, and seeder row of kind of verification test, the results show that: when the rotation speed of the metering wheel was 90.0 r/min, the diameter of the hole was 10.4 mm, and the depth of the hole was 6.4 mm, the coefficient of variation of seeding uniformity of seeding machine was less than 45%, and the coefficient of variation for consistency of seed quantity in each row was less than 8%. The operation of the self-walking industrial hemp seeder met the requirements of fiber industrial hemp planting in hilly areas.
