In order to solve the problem of equipment adjusting in the operation of plough rotary tiller, an automatic leveling system of plough-rotary tiller is designed, which includes executive mechanism, automatic leveling control module, hydraulic system and tilt sensing module. The plough-rotary tiller is a kind of well-behaved machine on tillage and straw returning, which combines the function of plough turning and rotary tillage. It can be used to carry out multiple work processes such as plough turning, rotary tillage and burying ground straw into soil. The soil is finely ground after ploughing, and the crop stalks and stubble are directly buried in the fields to achieve the soil preparation effect. It can also reduce the number of operations of going into soil for the machine, reduce the compaction of the soil, and improve the efficiency of farming. In the process of work, one side of tractor wheel drives on the balk, the other side drives on the cultivated furrows, causing tractor to incline to walk, and then leading to a certain inclination in horizontal direction of the plough-rotary tiller connected with the tractor through the three-point suspension mechanism. However, the tilting of plough-rotary tiller will affect the flatness and depth of the plow, so it is necessary to continuously adjust the equipment to ensure the work effect. Due to the complexity of field work condition, it needs to adjust frequently on the first 2 work routes and every route caused by the unstable work of the hydraulic system in each field. It not only is time-consuming but also has not high precision, which results in poor performance and low efficiency of work. In order to solve the problem of frequent adjustment of the plough-rotary tiller during work of plough, combining the characteristics of the plough-rotary tiller, a method to determine the angle range of leveling is put forward. The plough-rotary tiller as a compound tillage machine has great quality. It will cause great burden to the hydraulic system of the tractor by automatic leveling. At the same time, the downward motion will appear more severe during the downgrading process of the plough rotary mechanism. Therefore, a set of independent hydraulic system is designed in this paper. According to the actual field work situation, the soil model is established by using EDEM (enhanced discrete element method) simulation software, and the virtual simulation of field operation is carried out. The simulation results show that the surface roughness is less than 2 cm and meets the agronomic requirements. On the basis of design and simulation, field experiments were carried out to compare the operation of manual leveling plough-rotary tiller and the operation of automatic leveling plough-rotary tiller. The content of the test includes the system performance and mechanical performance of automatic leveling. The system performance is obtained by analyzing the change of the inclination angle of the tractor. The mechanical performance is obtained by analyzing ploughing depth, its stability and surface roughness after the operation. The results show that the automatic leveling plough-rotary tiller has a marked improvement in the stability of ploughing and surface evenness after tillage compared with the manual leveling plough rotary machine. The stability coefficient of the former tillage depth is 87.31% and the latter is 84.76%. The surface roughness of the former is 1.97 cm and the latter is 2.56 cm. It can provide reference for the design of automatic leveling system for compound agricultural machinery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
