Resumen
To elucidate the vibrational characteristics of power chassis in paddy fields, we examined the Yanmar VPG6G rice transplanter across diverse terrains, including paddy fields, dry land, and concrete roads. Vibrational acceleration measurements, taken in longitudinal, transverse, and vertical orientations at key chassis locations, revealed noteworthy findings. The Mizuta power chassis exhibited its lowest root-mean-square (RMS) vibrational acceleration on concrete, while the highest was observed on paddy fields. The acceleration power spectra predominantly peaked between 1~14 Hz, with peak values amplifying as speed increased. Additionally, pendant orientation frequencies exceeded those of longitudinal and lateral directions. Both front and rear wheels mirrored the vibrational accelerations of the rear axle, but dynamic load coefficients for the front wheels consistently surpassed the rear, particularly at elevated speeds. This research not only enhances our understanding of terrain-induced vibrations and the intricate dynamics between terrain and tires but also lays the groundwork for designing optimized vibration-damping solutions tailored to prevalent road conditions.
