Design and experimental study on pruning machine of Yunnan edible rose.

ABSTRACT: Edible rose is one of the main cash crops in Yunnan, China. Due to the high degree of lignification of rose stalks which is difficult to cut, and roses can only be pruned by hand after picking. Most of Yunnan Province is hilly landscape. Therefore, it is necessary to design an efficient small rose pruner for hills. Based on the experimental results of the physical and mechanical properties of rose stems, a simulation experiment of three different cutting methods was conducted to determine the optimal scheme. The results showed that single disc cutter is the best cutting method. An improved disc cutter with variable sliding angle is designed. In order to study the effects of the different structure parameters on the performance of the pruning machine and get the optimal combination of param
