Simulation and Experimental Research on the Sorting and Conveying of Step-by-Step Sugarcane Leaf Stripping Equipment

Abstract
Aiming at addressing the problems that step-by-step sugarcane defoliation equipment cannot control, including the feeding amount of sugarcane, which is prone to clogging and needs to be fed manually, a sorting and conveying device for the front end of defoliation equipment was designed. A simulation model was created using ADAMS 2020 software to examine the impact of the cane collection plate’s inclination angle and the sprocket wheel’s rotational speed on the percentage of sorting three canes in a one-factor test. A two-factor three-level test was conducted by choosing an inclination angle of 25° to 35° and a sprocket speed of 24 to 28 r/min. According to the ANOVA results, the percentage of sorting three canes was significantly impacted by the sprocket’s rotational speed, the inclination angle of the cane collection plate, and the interaction between the two variables. Based on the interaction effect study, the best combination to affect the percentage of sorting three canes is a sprocket rotational speed of 24 r/min and a collection plate inclination angle of 35°. Finally, a physical prototype test validated the simulation data, and the results revealed that the percentage of sorting three canes in the physical prototype is 80.56%, with a relative inaccuracy of 8.4%.
