Abstract

In order to solve the fresh corn grading problem in the corn deep processing enterprise, in this study, the grading system that the corn length was grading index has been proposed. Instead of the method of artificial classification, through the grading system the people have been liberated from heavy manual labor. And, through the theoretical research on the performance of the corn length grading system, the theoretical grading rate has been determined and can reach 11900/h; through analyzing the nozzle purging corn, the best purging position has been determined and was centroid of the corn. When the corn roots was in the former, the nozzle purging effect was best; The impact factors of measuring accuracy in grading system have been analyzed; the amount of compressed air purging corn has been determined and need 5.15 m³/h.
