The experiments were done in the soil bin, facility of College of Engineering, University of Saskatchewan. The goal of these tests was to find the best combination of disc angle and tilt angle which leads to minimum draft force. The disc used in tests had a 460 mm diameter and depth of cut was set to 50 mm. Force in 3 direction of draft, vertical and lateral are measured by load cells. The results of the experiments showed that the compound angle of 7º disc angle and 25º tilt angle gives the lowest draft force, which is 97 N. Although single angle disc, or zero disc angle gives lower draft force, but as mentioned earlier in this chapter, disc angle cannot be zero for the purpose of seeding. The corresponding vertical and lateral force for 7º disc angle and 25º tilt angle are 84 N and 760 N, respectively. Results for the angles that are in common with the work of Afify et al. [11] are close to each other and are validated by their results. Besides, results obtained in experiments are also compared and validated by the analytical work done by fellow research group member, Yun Zhang. The details of it is provided in appendix D. The results obtained in this chapter are used in the design process, static analysis and stress analysis of the developed planter, which is discussed in detail in chapter 3 and 4. |
