Agricultural machinery intelligence is the inevitable direction of agricultural machinery design, and the systems in these designs are important tools. In this paper, to address the problem of low processing power of traditional agricultural machinery design systems in analyzing data, such as fit, tolerance, interchangeability, and the assembly process, as well as to overcome the disadvantages of the high cost of intelligent design modules, lack of data compatibility, and inconsistency between modules, a novel agricultural machinery intelligent design system integrating image processing and knowledge reasoning is constructed. An image-processing algorithm and trigger are used to detect the feature parameters of key parts of agricultural machinery and build a virtual prototype. At the same time, a special knowledge base of agricultural machinery is constructed to analyze the test data of the virtual prototype. The results of practical application and software evaluation of third-party institutions show that the system improves the efficiency of intelligent design in key parts of agricultural machinery by approximately 20%, reduces the operation error rate of personnel by approximately 40% and the consumption of computer resources by approximately 30%, and greatly reduces the purchase cost of intelligent design systems to provide a reference for intelligent design to guide actual production.
