Analysis of physical and mechanical properties of maize

Abstract

In the design process of corn harvester, the influence and action mechanism of corn plant characteristics on the working parts of corn harvester (including cutting device, ear picking device, peeling device and other key parts) should be considered, and the physical and mechanical properties of corn plant need to be analyzed. To prevent serious “gnawing” of ears, high loss rate and crushing rate of ears and grains, and low efficiency of harvesting operation due to high moisture content of ears of corn in harvest period. Therefore, it is particularly important to analyze the physical and mechanical properties of maize plants.
