油菜精量播种导种环节种子流有序性分析

    Ordering of seed flow in seed guiding of precision sowing for rapeseed

    • 摘要: 针对油菜精量播种种子运移环节中排种器排出的单粒有序种子流在导种环节被破坏,造成播种均匀性降低的问题,该研究对导种过程种子流有序性进行分析,明确破坏种子流有序状态的主要原因是种子与导种管管壁的随机碰撞,而导致碰撞发生的主要因素是导种管曲线、内径和长度。导种过程离散元仿真试验表明,在相同内径及长度的导种管中,种子通过直线型导种管较S型导种管碰撞次数变异系数平均降低2.1个百分点,时间变异系数平均降低1.8个百分点;较抛物线型导种管平均碰撞次数变异系数降低0.5个百分点,平均时间变异系数降低0.5个百分点;在相同曲线及长度的导种管中,种子通过32 mm内径导种管较25 mm碰撞次数变异系数降低7.2个百分点,时间变异系数降低2.6个百分点;在相同曲线及内径的导种管中,无论缩短导种管的哪一部分长度均能降低碰撞次数及碰撞次数变异系数。种子流通过某一导种管的碰撞次数变异系数越大,时间变异系数越大,种子流下落轨迹越离散,种子流有序性越差,导种管曲线对种子流有序性的影响小于内径及长度。台架试验结果表明,采用直线型导种管较S型导种管粒距合格指数平均提高3.2个百分点,漏播指数和重播指数平均降低2.0和1.2个百分点;较抛物线型导种管粒距合格指数平均提高2.8个百分点,漏播指数和重播指数平均降低2.0和0.8个百分点;内径38 mm的导种管较25 mm导种管,粒距合格指数提高11.4个百分点,漏播指数和重播指数分别降低4.6和6.8个百分点;长度20 cm的导种管较80 cm导种管,粒距合格指数提高27.6个百分点,漏播指数和重播指数分别降低10.6和17.0个百分点;随导种管长度增加或内径缩小,粒距逐渐从以设定株距为中心的正态分布渐变为重播指数较高的指数分布。为降低导种环节影响,建议油菜精量播种机导种管曲线采用直线型、内径不小于25 mm、长度不超过40 cm。研究结果揭示了导种管结构对种子流有序性的影响机制,可为导种装置设计与优化提供参考。

       

      Abstract: A seed metering device is often equipped with a combination of positive and negative pressure in the planter for rapeseed. The chaotic seeds can be discharged via negative pressure suction seed and positive pressure blowing seed in a uniform and orderly manner. However, the orderly state of seed flow is easy to be broken in the process of seed guiding, resulting in unsuitable seed spacing. It is very necessary to clarify the seed guiding process for the higher seeding quality. This study aims to theoretically analyze the influence of structural seed tubes on the orderly state of seed flow. It was found that the main reason for the damage to the orderly state of seed flow was the random collision between seeds and seed tubes in the seed guiding. The influencing factors on the collision were the curve, inner diameter, and length of the seed tube. A simulation test was then carried out on the movement of seeds in the seed tube. Once the more linear curve of the seed tube was, and the thicker inner diameter was, the smaller number of collisions was, and the shorter time of passing through the seed tube was. Specifically, the coefficient of variation was reduced by 2.1 percentage points for the collision number of seeds through the seed tube with the linear-shaped curve in the same inner diameter and length, compared with the S-shaped curve. The coefficient of variation of time was reduced by 1.8 percentage points on average. Compared with the parabola-shaped curve, the coefficient of variation of collision number was reduced by 0.5 percentage points on average, and the coefficient of variation of time was reduced by 0.5 percentage points on average. The coefficient of variation of collision number of seeds was reduced by 7.2 percentage points through 32 mm seed tube in the same curve and length, compared with 25 mm, and the coefficient of variation of time was reduced by 2.6 percentage points. The simulation test showed that the larger the coefficient of variation of the collision times of seed flow through a seed tube was, the larger the coefficient of variation of time was, the more discrete the seed flow trajectory was, and the worse the orderly state of seed flow was. Therefore, there was less influence on the orderly state of seed flow in the curve of the seed tube, compared with the inner diameter and length. The bench test was consistent with the simulation. Compared with the S-shaped curve, the qualified index of seed spacing of the linear-shaped curve increased by 3.2 percentage points on average, the missing index and the multiple index decreased by 2.0 and 1.2 percentage points, respectively. Compared with the parabola-shaped curve, the qualified index of seed spacing of the linear-shaped curve increased by 2.8 percantage points, the missing index and the multiple index decreased by 2.0 and 0.8 percentage points, respectively. Compared with 25 mm, the qualified index of seed spacing of 38 mm seed tube increased by 11.4 percantage points, the missing index and the multiple index decreased by 4.6 and 6.8 percentage points, respectively. Compared with 80 cm, the qualified index of seed spacing of 20 cm seed tube increased by 27.6 percantage points, the missing index and the multiple index decreased by 10.6 and 17.0 percentage points, respectively. In addition, the frequency distribution of the time interval gradually changed from normal distribution with relatively uniform interval to exponential distribution with the increase of the multiple index, when the inner diameter decreased or the length increased. The optimal seed guiding was achieved, where the inner diameter of the seed tube should not be less than 25 mm, whereas, the length should not be more than 40 cm. This finding can provide a strong reference for the subsequent development and optimization design of seed tubes.
