Abstract
This paper addresses the problems of high labour intensity, low work efficiency, poor product quality and lack of conveying equipment, as the harvesting and conveying work of striped seaweed is mainly done manually. In this paper, we designed and completed a post-harvest conveying equipment based on the biomechanical characteristics of striped seaweed and carried out experimental research on the conveying effect of striped seaweed. The post-harvest conveying equipment consists of an inlet, a conveying line, a flexible vane pump and an outlet. In this paper, pump speed, water to vegetable ratio and conveying height, which have an influence on the conveying effect of seaweed, were used as test factors, and conveying capacity, energy consumption per unit mass and residual rate were used as evaluation indicators. The results showed that the conveying capacity increased with the increase of pump speed, and the conveying capacity was 3122.684kg/h at 1390r/min; the energy consumption per unit mass decreased with the increase of vegetable-water ratio; the loss rate of purple cabbage increased with the increase of pump inlet conveying height, and the loss rate was 0.94% at 2.95m. 0.94% at 2.95m. In addition, the orthogonal test found that the main factors affecting the conveying capacity, energy consumption per unit mass and loss rate were the vegetable-to-water ratio, followed by the pump inlet conveying height and pump rotational speed. The best conveying effect of the seaweed conveying equipment was achieved with a maximum of 2445.744 kg of seaweed per hour, and the energy consumption and loss rate per unit mass were less than 0.0890 kW-h/t and 0.32% respectively, meeting the actual conveying requirements.
