However, the most part of working procedure while sugar cane cultivation relies upon manual work. This fact became a cause of decrease of farmer's income according to increase of wages of the farm work. Especially, harvesting work is not only complicated and the heaviest work but also concentrated in limitted short term. That is, how to save labor of the harvesting work is the most important subject in modernization of sugar cane cultivation. In order to solve this problem, several imported big harvesters were tried to introduce into Okinawa. However, those big machines could be used in only limitted area for the sake of complicated feature of the farm field or inconsolidated field conditions, and were not practical in Okinawa. In this point of view, this study was started intending to develop a harvester which can be used in the most fields in Okinawa. The harvester which can be used in the fields with special condition in Okinawa should be a smaller machine with high performance. So, it is essential to make clear fundamental conditions to develop a smaller and effective machine, when we intend to develope a sugar cane harvester useful in Okinawa. For this purpose, in the Chapter 2 in this study, physical properties of the sugar cane, which is the object of the harvesting, were tested. Namely, several characteristics and strength of the sugar cane under mechanical treatment were measured. These characteristics are important factors affecting structure, materials, and mechanism of the machine when canes are harvested, that is, whe the canes are raised, cut and treated mechanically. It is difficult to apply usual cutting theory of other crops to the sugar cane as the physical property of the cane is much different from that of other crops. So, at first, discussing on the cutting theory, it was made clear that rotating blade was more suitable than straight motion blade in the case of sugar cane harvesting. In the Chapter 3,in order to know value of torque in actual cutting work, several factors affecting statical cutting resistance of the fixed blade were studied, and the following results concerning cane cutting characteristics were obtained., 1. Cutting velocity heavily affected to the relation between wedge angle of the blade and cutting resistance, namely, deformation and failure. 2. In the low speed cutting (2.2mm/min) test, a fine positive correlation was found between average diameter of the cane and cutting resistance. The resistance increased proportionally to the diameter, and was 16-35mm of diameter. This relationship satisfied the following equation. Y=3.702X+9.967 ………………(4.1) 3. In the high speed (4.6m/sec) cutting test, correlation between each factors showed very high value as 0.96 between penetrating resistance and cutting resistance, and 0.94 between penetrating resistance and cutting energy. 4. Multiregression between wedge angle of the blade (K), cutting angle (C), diameter of the cane (D) and moisture content (M) was analized concernig cutting characteristics, and the following multiregression equation was obtained. E=0.12D-0.044M+0.017K+1.727 ………………(4.13) This means wedge angle affects more to the cutting energy than cutting angle as for shape of the blade. 5. The highest effect the cutting energy in the high speed test was the diameter of the cane, and increase of the wedge angle also increased the cutting energy, whereas increase of the moisture decreased cutting energy. 6. Multiregression equation concerning cutting resistanse was given by the following equation. R=3.757D-2.522M+0.176K-0.316C+156.536 ………………(4.17) This means increase of the cutting angle decrease the cutting resistance. 7. In the range of 15°-26° of the cutting angle, canes did not slip even in the case of free cutting. 8. Cutting characteristics in the high speed test relied upon rather the diameter and moisture content of the ca, 紀要論文}, pages = {87--151}, title = {サトウキビの刈取機構に関する基礎的研究(農業工学科)}, year = {1982} }
