| Aiming at the key process of mechanical harvest for rhizome crops, a kind of test-bed employing the
combination of compacting, hitting and vibrating method was developed. The study provided a foundation for the
design and development of rhizome crops harvest machinery. Experiments employing different materials, such as
liquorice (long rhizome crop), polygonum cuspidatum (block rhizome crop) and corn stubble (fibrous root crop), were
performed. The results indicated that the test -bed could work steadily and reliably. Furthermore, the working
parameters could be set according to different testing requirements, and the corresponding power consumption could
be obtained |
