Design and Testing of a Soil Inversion and Mulching Machine

Abstract

In order to address the problems of low water resource utilization and easy soil structure damage in traditional irrigation techniques for vegetable cultivation, and to promote the mechanized application of water-saving film laying technology, this paper designs a multifunctional soil turning and film covering machine based on UG software that can complete rotary tillage, film covering, and soil covering operations at once. Optimize the design of rotary tillage, soil throwing, compaction and mulching mechanisms. Conduct tests on clay soil blocks in accordance with relevant standards to evaluate their performance in terms of soil turning, mulching, covering quality, and operational efficiency. The results show that the machine meets the agronomic requirements.
