Experiment and Study of Garlic Root Cutting Based on Continuous Force Feedback

Abstract

In this study, we quantified and analyzed the root-cutting process of garlic with a test bench with pressure sensors on the basis of the comparative analysis of various information perception methods. On the basis of the output value of the pressure sensor, the force curve of garlic roots was plotted, and the double round blade cutting module is optimized on the basis of the force curve diagram. The innovative proposal of slotted round blades for garlic root cutting is presented here. The round blade diameter is 110 mm, the center distance is 100 mm, the blade thickness is 1 mm, and the blade speed is 1200 r/min. According to the analysis of the force curve, it was found that the slotted round blade with the slanted blade could generate a strong thrust to cut the roots. The cutting effect was better and the cutting surface of the roots was straight. The slotted blade meets the need for cutting garlic roots.
