Development Status of Agricultural Machinery Industry
With the continuous acceleration of domestic urbanization and the large transfer of rural labor force, agricultural producers and operators have increased the scale and concentration of planting. Agricultural producers and operators with large-scale planting tend to choose automated agricultural machinery to complete agricultural production, Plant protection work. In 2019, the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in China has reached 70%, and the three major staple grains of wheat, corn and rice have been basically mechanized, and the promotion of comprehensive mechanization of various agricultural industries is accelerating. important role. Compared with developed countries, although the scale of my country’s agricultural machinery manufacturing industry is relatively large, the overall industry is still dominated by “low-end and low-quality”, and a large number of agricultural machinery parts manufacturers have certain limitations in scale and product processing methods. , In the production process, the traditional blanking processing method is still used, which is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of precision, which is not conducive to the overall rapid development of my country’s agricultural machinery manufacturing industry. In order to improve agricultural production efficiency, it is still necessary to apply laser blanking technology to agricultural machinery manufacturing to improve the overall quality of agricultural machinery production. The agricultural machinery parts for laser cutting and laser processing are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Analysis of the Status Quo of Laser Cutting Applications
At present, for construction machinery and agricultural machinery, various types of parts are involved in the processing process. The most important part is large-scale structural parts, which are usually made of steel castings and plate parts. This is not only related to It affects the overall appearance quality of the machine, but also affects the overall mechanical properties. With the development of high-strength steels in China, the market demand for yield strength steels with grades above 960MPa has been increasing, and correspondingly higher requirements have been put forward for their cutting quality. For large structural parts, due to their large volume, the machining accuracy is high, and the traditional cutting method has been difficult to ensure the cutting quality. Large-format laser cutting machines, as shown in Figure 5, have quickly been widely used for their advantages of fast cutting speed, high cutting efficiency and good cutting quality.
In the tailor-welding process of plate parts, the requirements for the welding process are relatively high, and the welding method needs to be selected according to the actual needs to ensure the quality and effect of the welding. In this context, the three-dimensional five-axis laser beveling process came into being, which can effectively process complex bevel processes such as V-shaped groove, Y-shaped groove, K-shaped groove and X-shaped groove, and better ensure the welding strength. and quality, improve processing efficiency.
With the improvement of the level of intelligence and automation technology, the laser cutting intelligent manufacturing system combines the order management and production management as shown in Figure 6 with the production links such as warehouse management and cost analysis as shown in Figure 7 to effectively improve the production of enterprises. level and production capacity to better deal with complex products.
Comparative analysis of processing performance
