Structure Design of Manipulator for Pot Seedling Transplanter and Simulation Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of seedling damaged and inefficiency of pot seedling trasplanter, the manipulator for pot seedling transplanter came into being. The three thin finger structure was selected for the manipulator, which could weaken the resistance and leakage by employing pneumatic drive. SolidWorks software was used to establish the 3D model and virtual assembly, to analyze force on the finger on the basis of the mechanical design theory. The strength of the finger part was checked in the SolidWorks SimulationXpress module, the maximum pressure of the finger was 50040656 N/m2, which was far less than the yield strength of the alloy steel finger 620422016N/m2. The results showed that the manipulator was highly practical with reasonable structure and productivity-enhancing ability.
