Design and Experiments of a Bionic Hook-Shape Subsoiler

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on study of morphology of animal claws and subsoiling characteristics of subsoiler, a bionic hook-shape subsoiler is designed to decrease its operating resistance and to improve the terrain surface morphology. Design concepts and the structure scheme of the subsoiler are presented. The influences of tillage depth and operating speed on the operating resistance of bionic hook-shape subsoiler are examined in soil bin experimental tests by compared with a standard arc-shape subsoiler regulated by national standard (JB/T 9788-1999). It is proved by experiment results that the bionic hook-shape subsoiler when the operating speed range is 4-5km / h, compared with the standard arc-shape subsoiler, showed much lower operating resistance and power requirement against soil. The resistance-decrease index of the bionic hook-shape subsoiler is 24.1%, 24.4% and 26.5% at 300, 350 and 400mm cutting depth, respectively.
