Abstract

In order to solve the problems of high impurity rate and large loss rate in the whole fresh peanut harvesting and production process in hilly areas of China, the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element (DEM) coupling is used to examine the gas–solid two-phase simulation of the cleaning device of the crawler fresh-peanut-picking combine harvester. In addition, the Box–Behnken test method is used to analyze the influence of different parameters on the impurity content and loss rate of materials in the cleaning process by taking the fan speed, feed amount, and air inlet angle as the test factors, and the optimal combination of working parameters is sought. The simulation results show that when the fan speed is 2905.07 r/min, the feed rate is 0.80 kg/s, the air inlet angle is 43.14°, the impurity content is 7.32%, and the loss rate is 4.78%. Compared with the simulation test results, the impurity content is increased by 0.68%, and the loss rate is increased by 1.24%, which verifies the reliability of the simulation model, and the research results provide some technical support for the improvement of the cleaning device in the later stages.
