Motion Simulation and Analysis of Wave-Like Hedge Cropper Lifter

摘要

The simulation analysis of the lifting mechanism of a kind of wave-like hedge croppers was studied in this paper. It contains two parts of lifting mechanism that for pruning of top branches and collateral branches. In the working process, the angel and height of collateral branches pruning was unchanged so that the trajectory of it was parallel with the walking track of whole machine. However, the lifting mechanism of top branches pruning was driven by eccentric wheel, and its co-movement trajectory was a sine function curve and a wavy surface was left on the hedge top surface simultaneously. The trim angels of two croppers can be adjustable from-90°～90°
