In the implantation process of garlic mechanized seeding, under the strong coupling among garlic seeds, soil and parts touching it, the verticality of adjusted garlic seeds is very easy to reduce again, thus affecting the final garlic output and garlic quality. How to ensure that garlic seeds are planted in an upward vertical direction has become a key technology to be solved. To solve this problem, this paper took the planetary wheel garlic planter designed in the early stage as the research object, introduced its structure and working principle in combination with the whole garlic planter, realized the adjustment of the opening and speed ratio of the inserting duckbill by processing the cams of different planters, and changed the opening phase angle of the inserting duckbill by adjusting the circumferential position of the cams installed in the machine. Based on the establishment of garlic inserting seed model and the analysis of the process, the tip motion equation of the duckbill was established and imported into CAXA software to generate the movement track. Through the analysis of the movement track under different parameters, it is clear that the key factors that affect the verticality of garlic seeds after planting are the linear speed of the inserting duckbill, the opening phase angle and the ratio of the opening angle of spigot duck's beak to the center angle corresponding to the cam convex section (the opening and speed ratio). In order to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis, a garlic planting test-bed was developed, and the indoor experiment of Cangshan garlic planting was carried out. Through the single factor experiment, it was determined that the value range of the linear speed of the duckbill was 200-500 mm/s, the range of the opening phase angle was 0-20°, and the range of the opening and speed ratio was 1-2. In order to obtain the optimal parameters of these three factors, the Box-Benhnken central composite test method was used to design the linear velocity, opening phase angle and opening velocity ratio of the spilt duck's beak by three factors and three levels quadratic regression test. The sowing test was carried out, and the response surface mathematical model was established by using Design-expert software. The key parameters affecting the verticality were comprehensively optimized. The optimal working parameters are as follows, the linear speed is 200 mm/s, the opening phase angle is 20°, the opening and speed ratio is 2. In order to verify the performance of the inserter using the optimized parameters, field experiments were carried out. The results showed that the average vertical degree of garlic seeds in the optimal parameter operation was 63.2°, which was 21.8% higher than that before. It not only met the requirements of garlic planting vertical degree, but also further improved the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, which improved the guarantee for large-scale mechanized vertical sowing of garlic.
