Design Analysis of A Mechanical Rice Transplanter
Design Analysis of A Mechanical Rice Transplanter
Design Analysis of A Mechanical Rice Transplanter
Objectives:
1. To analysis the design and working principal of a rice planting machine.
2. To collect all the numerical data and measurement of the machine.
3. To bring revolutionary success in the field of rice cultivation.
Description:
In a mechanical transplanter the finger follow a desired path of motion The
input motion is applied to the crank so that the motion is continuous and rotary.
The output motion follow a suitable path in order to meet the requirements of a
transplanter. The mechanism has one degree of freedom and a coupler point that
is capable of making a loop may be incorporated. The planting finger will be
attached at the coupler point
Conclution:
We have analysed the design and working principal a rice planting by using a four-
bar planner mechanism. It will be a 6-row self-propelled rice trans-planter. One
labor will be enough to operate the machine. It will save a lot of time and
expenses.
