Abstract
The noise generated by combine harvesters during operation has drawn growing attention, particularly that of the conveying trough shell, whose noise generation mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the vibration radiation noise characteristics of conveying troughs by analyzing a chain system with 83 links using numerical simulation and experimental validation. A dynamic model of the conveyor chain system was developed, and the time domain reaction force at the bearing support was used as excitation for the trough shell’s finite element model. Modal and harmonic response analyses were performed to obtain the vibration response, which served as an acoustic boundary input for the LMS Virtual Lab. The indirect boundary element method was used to compute the radiated noise, achieving coupled modeling of chain system vibration and trough shell noise. Simulation results revealed that the maximum radiated noise occurred at approximately 112 Hz, closely matching experimental data. Comparative analysis of transmitted noise at 500 Hz and 700 Hz showed acoustic power levels of 98.4 dB and 109.52 dB, respectively. Results indicate that transmitted noise dominates over structural radiation in energy contribution, highlighting it as the primary noise path. This work offers a validated prediction model and supports noise control design for combine harvester conveying troughs.
