Research on a combined opener device for the ridge-till and no-till seeder

Integrating ridge tillage and conservation tillage is an effective approach to keep humidity for traditional ridge-till. A combined opener device was designed according to the agricultural requirement of planting several rows crops on each ridge. The openers were installed on two beams and were stagger to increase the space of two sets of devices on each beam. The virtual assembly model was constructed with Autodesk Inventor, which has functions of auto-adapted design, assembly connection design and parameterization of part size.
