Abstract

Soybean seeding monomers can realize the process of opening, seed throwing, covering, and compacting when they work. Due to the complexity of their working process, the relevant process cannot be analyzed by the discrete element method (DEM) alone. The DEM coupled with the multi-rigid body dynamics method (MBD) can solve the above problem, and the simulation analysis of the above process is realized by coupling the EDEM software with RecurDyn software. The changes in the position of soybean seed particles before and after covering and compacting are analyzed. The results show that when the working speed of the seeding monomer increases, the distance along the vertical direction of the soybean seed particles after covering gradually increases, and the distance along the horizontal direction gradually decreases. The effect of different working speeds of seeding monomer on the opening situation and the variation in seed particle positions is studied. The results show that the ditch angle gradually decreases as the working speed of the seeding monomer increases. The distribution of seed particle spacing is also analyzed. The above tests are simulated, and the results show a high agreement between the simulation and test results, proving the accuracy of the coupling method. This paper applies the coupling method for the first time to the simulation of the seeding monomer. This method can be applied not only to the analysis of the sowing process of soybean seeding monomers, but also be applied to the analysis of other machinery working processes, such as the tillage process, the sieving process, the planting and harvesting processes of crops, etc. It also deepens the application of the discrete element method in the field of agriculture.
