Abstract:An oriented system for no-tillage planters, which consists of guiding frame, hydraulic system and control unit was designed according to the problem of no-tillage planting quality resulted from the unefficient maize row-following capacity of no-tillage planter in annual double cropping areas. The main parameters of guiding frame determine on the matched tractor. Furthermore, the force analyses in different positions of the outside frame of guiding frame indicates that the guiding system can meet the requirements of the maximum load for adjusting planter direction in the planting. By employing JDT654L tractor as a test platform, the system performance analysis was conducted, and the results showed that the adjusting range of actuator is -10.8°~10.7°. Moreover, the outcomes also indicated that the system is capable of commutating steadily and rapidly, and performs a fair response capability and satisfactory control accuracy to input signals, with maximum error angle of no more than 1.5°, which assures that the implements direction could be timely corrected.
