Design of Crop Cutter Machine

This title presents the concept for design and analysis of crop cutter. The crop cutting is important stage in agriculture field. Currently in India former used conventional method for the crop cutting i.e. the conventional method for crop cutting is as manually cutting using labour but this method is lengthy and time consuming.This project aim is to design and analysis of small field crop cutter machine for small height crop. To analysis cutting rollerand horizontal cutting blade by using Pro-eand anises software. The machine consists of petrol engine to operate cutting roller and blade. When compare to manual crop cutting by and this machine has a capacity to cut the crop in faster. This machine to helpful for both the small as well as big farm.

India is an agricultural country. In which 65% people are farmers. As, the population of india is increased, the demand of food is also increasing. In these circumstances, we need a fast cutting process instead of traditional cutting methods. In the past, agricultural activities were carried out with manual force. But today in most of our country there is a shortage of manpower; therefore labor is not available when required. So the labour cost for cutting of sugarcanes seed, groundnut and straw cutting only skilled labours are required. To minimize the labour cost and to get work done in minimum, time at cheap cost this machine is designed. It is simple in construction. It does not need skilled labour

Crop cutting machine is mechanical device. It can be use for cutting the dry cut branch of grain break or covering of trunk of tree. In the crop cutting machine required less human effort and it very reasonable for middle class farmer it is not complicated structure and it easily operated by unskilled person. It can reduce labour cost due to the only one person can handle. Crop cutter machine does not required high life support. This machine targets the small-scale farmers who have land area of smaller than 2or3 acres. This mechanism is compact and can cut up to two rows of wheat, millet, jowar crops. It has cutting blades which cut the crop in a scissoring type of movement. It runs on petrol engine, this power from engine, is provided through shaft, pulley and belt drive system to the cutting blades. This compact crop cutter is manufactured using locally available spare parts and thus, it is easily maintainable. This crop cutter might be the solution to the problems faced by a small-scale farmer regarding cost and worker implementation.

As agriculture is one of the main occupations in India, it is very essential to discover and implement new ideas in this field, although a lot of work has been done in this area. It is a pity that these ideas are not properly implemented in the real field. This is due to the high cost and difficult for the rural population. Multipurpose agricultural cutting equipment is the basic and main equipment involved in agriculture for maximum performance. The conventional method of planting and growing crops is a laborious process, and therefore there is a shortage of manpower, resulting in a delay in agriculture to overcome these difficulties. Multipurpose agricultural equipment is designed. Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian economy. Over 70% of rural households depend on agriculture. Agriculture is an important sector of the Indian economy, contributing approximately 8.4% to the total GDP and providing employment for over 60% of the population. Indian agriculture has experienced impressive growth over the past few decades.

Generally in India large scale as well as small scale farmers facing the problems of labor shortage for crop cutting as well as collecting it. It takes the extra efforts and becomes more expensive. So there is a scope of forming a machine of such kind which is having average cost and able to minimize required time as well as labor cost meanwhile the available machines in the market are expensive. As this machine providing both cutting and collecting facility, it will be helpful to minimize labor charges.

Today, agriculture especially in India need to concentrate in some situation such as how to increase the productivity and profit, how to reduce the cost and labor efforts. To overcome these, a new manually operated cutter is fabricated specially for cutting various crop varieties and named as an "MULTI CROP CUTTER". It is easy to fabricate, low cost and light weight. With this Multi Crop Cutter, the entire problem can be solved easily. There are some steps involved in fabricating this machine such as fabricating the small model using suitable material and test the functioning of this machine. So the aim is to fabricate and test the performance of the small model of a manually operated crop cutter for cutting the crop. Time require for cutting crop is main importance. During cutting of crop season, often rains and storm cause considerable damage of standing crops. Rapid cutting of crop gives more time for preparation of land for next crop planting. The use of machines can help for cutting at proper stage of crop maturity and reduce operation time. Considering these improved cutting tools equipment, combine being accepted by the farmer.

In this study, collecting of wheat utilizing crop shaper was evaluated. Results demonstrated that the field limit of yield express was 2.44 occasions higher than the manual activity. The work prerequisite was 32.74 and 149.25 man-hr/ha for harvest shaper and manual activity, individually. If there should arise an occurrence of wheat, the field limit of product shaper was 2.23 occasions more noteworthy than manual reaping and work contribution was 23.20 and 115.74 man - hr/ha for yield shaper and manual task, separately. It is expected by the use of this harvesting machine the farmers will be benefiting in terms of money as well as the physical task will be reduced significantly. Overall the cost of this manufactured machine was approx. 6000 INR.

The paper presents a study of the influence of the constructive parameters of the blades on the cutting machines from the harvesters during the cutting process.The research focuses on the angle of sharpening of the cutting edges of the blades and the angle of inclination of the stalk during the cutting process. The blades used in the experiment have smooth and jagged cutting edges with a usual angle of 20° and modified angles of 10° and 15°. The tests were carried out using maize stalks (Zea mays) with tilt angles of 45° and 90°. The diagrams of variation of force, displacement and mechanical work during the cutting of maize stalks are presented and discussed.

The recently structured yield cutting unit works without utilizing any sort of fuel or electrical vitality and can be worked with more muscle power. This gear utilizes joined sharp edges for effective yield cutting. The present structured and manufactured harvest shaper can be utilized to cut the straws of various nourishment grain crops like Paddy, wheat and furthermore grass. It is basic in development and the working is simple. The yield shaper is really a use of unadulterated mechanical information to improve the nature of work with least work and time, extent of research in farming types of gear despite everything stays a prolific field for creative thoughts.
