Abstract

In order to solve the motion collision of potato harvester elevator, ADAMS and MATLAB are integrated and used to perform their dynamic simulation. Simulation methods for mechanical systems and control systems integration based on ADAMS/MATLAB are applied, the dynamic properties of the entire system is analyzed, as a result, Virtual prototype technology is used to the simulation analysis and the pre-description of the motion collisions of a two-freedom mechanism for potato harvester elevator and the feasible solution for its motion control is set up. Based on the system motion analysis, the elevator positioning control algorithm is proposed and the dynamic properties of the mechanical system and the control system are matched up.
