Performance Test of Push Type Corn Seed Planting Tools Based on Anthropometric And Work Physiology Data

Abstract

Corn seed planting tool driven type is a conventional planting tool that designed is simply, consisting of a control handle, wheels, adjusting the uniformity of seed output, spacing and hole depth at each wheel rotation. This implant can be operated efficiently for time and effort. The research stages include design, assembly and functional testing. Based on the test results of this corn seed planting tool, the design of the distance between the handlebars is 40 cm, the handle length is 13 cm and the handle height is 80 cm. This design produces an ergonomic design. The working capacity for a land area of 0.5 acres is 0.157 Ha / hour, energy consumption is 0.41-1.49 Kcal / minute. Based on the IRHR value, it can be categorized as light work. The work of this tool, for the removal of 2-3 seeds, is 97%, the depth of the planting hole is 96.8%, and the spacing of 21-25 cm is 35.7%.
