Simulation Analysis and Optimization of Soil Cutting of Rotary Blade by Ansys/Ls-Dyna

Mini-tiller is an indispensable agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous areas of China. Rotary blade is an important working part of mini-tiller, which directly affects the operation quality and power consumption of mini-tiller. In order to reduce the cutting resistance and power consumption of the rotary blade of mini-tiller, the cutting process of the rotary blade was analyzed by numerical simulation, and the tangential bending radius (R), bending angle (β) and edge thickness (c) of the rotary blade were selected as factors to optimize it. After comparing the cutting resistance and cutting power consumption of the rotary blade before and after optimization, the results show that the cutting force of the optimized rotary blade is smaller than that of the rotary blade before optimization. The cutting power consumption of the optimized rotary blade is 2.4% lower than that of the unoptimized rotary blade, which achieves the purpose of drag reduction and consumption reduction.
