摘 要：
The cup-chain metering device is commonly used in potato planters despite its problems of missing-seeding, double-seeding and ground wheel sliding. A mechanical-electrical design was developed for planters to resolve these problems. A regression experiment was conducted with three factors (chain speed, chain tightening distance and cup tilting) and two indicators (missing-seeding rate and double-seeding rate). Based on the results of regression experiment, a numerical regression model was built and a multi-objective optimization method was used to get an optimal solution. Subsequently, the optimized device was tested in the field. The device design presents a tilting seed cup with a guard plate and an electric control system. The laboratory test showed that the missing-seeding rate increased with the chain speed. It initially decreases and then increases with the chain tightening distance and cup tilting angle. The double-seeding rate declines with chain speed. It increases initially and declines afterward with the chain tightening distance. The optimization resulted in a missing-seeding rate of 4.39% and a double-seeding rate of 8.78% under the parameters of 0.32 m/s seeding speed, 0.94x10(-3) m tightening distance, and 12.5 degrees cup tilting angle. The field test demonstrated that electric control instead of ground wheel-driven chain enables fast seeding and precise intra-row seeding distance.
