摘要： The suction force on high-sphericity seeds is important to the design of air-suction seed metering devices. However, little systematic research has been conducted on the suction force. A self-designed suction force measurement device and idealised model were used to conduct CFD simulation, single factor experiments, and orthogonal experiments to improve the model of the suction force on seeds with sphericity over 90.34% and equivalent diameter 6.63-7.16 mm under the following conditions: suction hole diameter 4-6 mm, suction hole vacuum 3-5 kPa, seed-filling angle +/- p/8, and horizontal distance from the seed centre to the suction hole 3.5-5.5 mm. The verification experiment conducted using the seeds of soybean, pea, and Panax notoginseng showed that the accuracy was higher for the improved suction force model. Simulation of flow behaviours under different factors revealed that the changes in the air velocity gradient and pressure gradient are the main causes of the change in the suction force. The relationship between the drag force model and the suction force model was studied by comparing the predicted value of the drag force and the measured value of the suction force under the same conditions.
