Innovative Design Method of Hydro-Pneumatic Suspension for Large High-Clearance Sprayer Based on Improved NSGA-II Algorithm

Abstract

Large high-clearance sprayers are widely used in the field of plant protection due to their high work efficiency. Influenced by the characteristics of a large ground clearance, fast driving speed and constantly changing sprung mass, how to solve the contradiction between the vibration reduction performance of a large sprayer and the friendliness of farmland roads has become a current research hotspot. In order to improve the driving performance of the sprayers, the design, optimization and verification scheme of the hydro-pneumatic suspension of a large sprayer based on the improved NSGA-II algorithm was completely constructed in this study. The hydro-pneumatic suspension system of a sprayer was mainly designed and a real-time time-varying model under field road excitation was established. The NSGA-II algorithm was improved by introducing the adaptive crossover operator and DE mutation operator, and a real-time interactive interface between the time-varying model was established for multi-objective optimization. Finally, system simulation analysis was conducted and a vibration test bench was built for experimental verification. The results show that vibration reduction indicators improved by 19.4%, 10.7% and 4.0%, respectively, compared with those before optimization. The performance of the designed hydro-pneumatic suspension was better than that of the ordinary suspension.
