Abstract:
      Aimed at the problems that the conventional seed c orn threshers faced in operation such as the high loss rate and high crushing ra te of grains, and high impurity rate of broken cores, which caused great influen ce to the germination and cleaning of corn seeds, a new type of corn thresher wi th varied-diameter and varied-spacing spiral plate tooth was developed. Combine d with the threshing process by squeezing and rubbing and bionic technology, the key parts of the prototype including the threshing device with varied-diameter and varied-spacing spiral plate tooth and the cob discharging outlet device wit h variable stiffness clamp were designed and analyzed theoretically, and the exp eriment of the corn thresher was carried out. The results showed that, by adopti ng the seed corn thresher with varied-diameter and varied-spacing spiral plate tooth, the broken rate of grains was 0.45%~0.64%, the threshing loss rate was 0.30%~0.53%, and the impurity rate was 4.13%~5.83%, which could meet the d emand of clean threshing, low fragmentation and little broken core.
