Abstract

In order to solve the problems of bottom pod leakage and soil removal by header, a soybean header profiling system was designed in this paper. The cutter height off-ground detection device was installed on both sides of the header, and the cutter distance from the ground was represented by the angle sensor turning when the profiling wheel met the rolling ground. The hydraulic electromagnetic reversing valve was installed so that the profiling system could automatically control the lifting of the header, the unilateral power of the solenoid valve was 0.15 s, and the height of the cutter from the ground was changed by 10 mm. The height of the cutter off the ground was set to 80 mm, and the adjustment range of the soybean header profiling system was 45–125 mm. The test results showed that the maximum absolute error of the cutter off the ground height detection device was 5.98 mm, the minimum absolute error was 1.00 mm, and the relative error was 0.038. The cutter height adjustment device was powered for 0.15 s, and the average adjustment distance was 11.158 mm. The soybean header profiling system did not shovel soil during field harvest, and the stubble height of 85% of soybean plants was less than 10 mm from the set height after harvest. The results showed that the soybean header profiling system could effectively adjust the cutter height from the ground so that the cutter height from the ground was kept at 80 mm. This study could provide a reference for the intelligent design of soybean harvesters.
