Punching System for Plastic Mulching at Soybean Field - Effect of Punching Knife Shape on the Cutting Performance

비닐 천공 시스템 개발 - 칼날 형상이 천공 성능에 미치는 영향

In this study, performance of a developed automatic punching machine considering the planting density of soybeans was evaluated in the case of the operation speed of 0.18-0.28 m/s. The performance demonstrated a rate of 320-500 ㎡/h, 260-400 ㎡/h, and 210-330 ㎡/h for the 0.20 m, 0.25 m, and 0.30 m soybean planting density, respectively. One hundred percent punching capacity was confirmed in 30 mm distance between the ground and the blade. Additionally, in the 50 mm distance condition, the performance of round, square, and hexagonal blades were observed in the range of 16.7-25.2%, 33.0-42.3%, and 54.5-100.0%, respectively. Above all, the hexagonal blade with a 60° edge angle had the most superior cutting quality demonstrating a smooth and soft cutting plane of the plastic.

본 연구에서 개발된 자동천공기는 콩의 재식밀도를 고려한 비닐 천공능력이 작업주행속도 0.18-0.28m/s 조건에서 콩의 주간거리 0.20m, 0.25m, 0.30m에 대해 각각 320-500㎡/h, 260-400㎡/h, 210-330㎡/h의 범위로 나타났다. 천공율은 칼날과 지면간 30mm 거리에서 비닐이 100% 천공되었으며, 50mm 거리에서 원형칼날 16.7-25.2%, 사각칼날 33.0-42.3%, 육각칼날 54.5-100.0% 범위에서 천공되었다. 또한, 육각칼날 60°에서 비닐 절단면이 매끄럽고 부드러워 절단품질이 가장 우수하였다.
