Abstract

This paper addresses the hole-forming process of a duckbilled hole-forming device. Based on a coupled simulation using the multi-body dynamics software RecurDyn and the discrete element software EDEM, the hole-forming mechanism of a duckbilled hole-forming device and the influence of control parameters on the hole-forming performance of the hole-forming device were studied. In this paper, we analyze the direction and speed of soil particles transported under soil disturbance by a hole-forming device through the simulation and study of the hole-forming mechanism of the hole-forming device. By controlling parameters such as the traction angle, forward speed, and mass of the hole-forming device, the influence of the control parameters on the hole-forming trajectory of the duckbilled hole-forming device was investigated. Orthogonal tests determined the optimal combination of control parameters. The results show that the hole-forming process of the hole-forming device mainly comprises squeezing and shearing the soil to form holes, and the hole-forming performance of the hole-forming device was optimal when the traction angle was 17.3°, the forward speed was 1.11 m/s, and the mass of the hole-forming device was 17.9 kg.
