Abstract: The study of corn mechanization planting orientation is still in the primary stage. Design of relevant institutions is mostly based on conceptual design of ideal grain shape, and the study on the basic characteristics and basic theory on corn particle swarm oriented alignment technology is lack. The motion state is more complex and affects the oriented alignment effects of maize grain seriously in electromagnetic vibration modes on maize grain in line in the process of conveying and sorting grain. Understanding of mechanical properties and optimization of vibration source parameters are the premise and key to get better oriented alignment effect of maize grain in the study of maize grain in vibration field. At first, this paper established the model of maize grain sliding motion through the force analysis of corn grain in the electromagnetic vibration system, and also obtained the minimum amplitude of the system of 0.05 mm which was the critical condition of contacts between the kernel and platform. Secondly, considering the special physical characteristics of corn grain, 1000 grains for each kind among 5 different kinds of corn with high quality in directional cultivation conditions were selected, and the instruments were adopted, such as the electronic balance with precision electronic scale of 0.01 g, the BPG-9.30AH electric thermostat blast drying box and MXD-01 friction coefficient instrument. For the different types of maize grains, the measured water content is in the range of 13.88%-14.53%, the density range is 1.13-1.19 g/cm3, and the sliding friction coefficient range between corn and hard rubber is 0.58-0.79. The corn planting orientation still relies on artificial pendulum, lacking mechanized corn directional seeding device. In order to make corn group oriented alignment system achieve directional cultivation, directional seeding accuracy requirements, and design parameters of the electromagnetic vibration system for corn particle swarm oriented alignment performance, were analyzed, as well as kinematics and dynamics of the system. The relationship between seed oriented alignment process and design parameters of system was explored in order to satisfy critical conditions requirements; the selected parameters had significant influence on the working performance of the system, and the main parameters affecting the performance of oriented alignment were the direction angle of vibration, vibration amplitude and frequency. On the corn particle swarm oriented alignment test platform, through the 2 orthogonal rotation design tests with 3 factors, the design parameters were optimized, and the factor and test index (directional success rate, the success rate of the entire column) regression equation was established. The optimal design parameters range was as follows: Vibrating direction angle was 32°-35°, amplitude was 0.1-0.15 mm, and vibration frequency was 51.5-52 Hz; corresponding to the test index, directional success rate was in the range of 63.8%-67.4%, the success rate of entire column was 95.8%-96.3%; the optimal combination of design parameters was the vibration direction angle of 34.42°, the amplitude of 0.14 mm and the vibration frequency of 51.77 Hz. The best combination of parameters was used in system verification test, with the high speed camera system implementation of recording and analysis on grain oriented alignment process, and in the absence of mechanical assisted mechanism, the average success rate of the orientation reached 66.2%, the success rate of entire column was 97.4%. The research can provide reference for the directional planting of maize grain and the development of directional seedling-raising equipment.
