Kinematics of the seedling plant with vertical distributor and buckets

In this paper are presented some theoretical and experimental research on the kinematics of planting seedlings of vertical disc type and buckets, the variant of planting directly in the cultivated soil, the kinematics that must ensure the correlation between the working speed of the planting equipment and the speed periphery of the bucket, so that the seedling is planted in an upright position. After a brief presentation of the research carried out worldwide in the field, the kinematic scheme of the planting apparatus and the condition that must be fulfilled by the construction and operation of the apparatus for the correct planting of the seedling are presented. The relations for the projections of the studied point, called the tracer (root of the seedling) and of the afferent angular velocity, are written in a system of xOy coordinates. Using the real values of a studied planting machine, the real and corrected trajectories of the studied tracer point were drawn, using the MatLab program. Following the research, the related conclusions and recommendations for improvement were formulated.
