Abstract

A fast spraying speed, wide working area, and easy operation are the operational advantages of high-clearance boom sprayers. To address the issue of spray boom mechanical vibration affecting the spraying effect, a double-link trapezoidal boom suspension is designed for the 3WPYZ sprayer. This suspension can achieve passive vibration reduction, active balance, and ground profiling. The kinematic model of the boom suspension is established based on D’Alembert’s principle and the principle of multi-body dynamics, and the design factors affecting the stability of the boom are determined. Through orthogonal experimental design and virtual kinematics simulation, the influence of the boom length and orifice diameter of each part on the swing angle and the natural frequency of the boom suspension is investigated. Design-Expert 8.0.6 software is used to analyze and optimize the test results. The optimization results show that, when the connecting boom length L AB is 265 mm, the inner boom suspension boom length L AD is 840 mm, the outer boom suspension boom length L BC is 1250 mm, and the throttle hole diameter d is 4 mm; the maximum swing angle of the boom suspension is reduced by 53.02%. In addition, the natural frequency of the boom is reduced from 1.3143 rad/s to 1.1826 rad/s, and the dynamic characteristic optimization effect is remarkable. The modal analysis results show that the first sixth-order vibration test frequency of the boom sprayer suspension designed in this paper meets the requirements and avoids the influence of external factors. Field tests show that, when the sprayer is excited by the environment at 3.5° to 4°, the boom suspension can reduce the vibration transmitted by the body to a reasonable range. The static analysis shows that the structural design of this study reduces the stress at the connection of the end boom suspension, the maximum displacement, and the maximum stress of the inner boom suspension. The test results of the dynamic characteristics of the implement are basically consistent with the virtual model simulation test results, thus achieving the optimization objectives.
