Abstract

The combine harvester equipped with attitude-adjustment functionality significantly enhances its adaptability to complex terrain but often struggles to maintain the reliability of its mechanisms. Therefore, investigating the dynamic load characteristics of the attitude-adjustment mechanism becomes imperative. This article employed the DEM–FMBD (Discrete Element Method–Flexible Multibody Dynamics) bidirectional coupling simulation method to establish a multibody dynamic model of a tracked combine harvester. The study delved into the interaction mechanism and dynamic stress response characteristics between the tracked chassis and the complex terrain under various height adjustments, lateral adjustment angles, longitudinal adjustment angles, and different field-ridge crossing methods. Finally, the accuracy of the coupled simulation model was validated through a constructed stress detection system. The research findings revealed that the displacement and tilt angle deviation of the hydraulic cylinders utilized to execute the chassis adjustment actions in the constructed coupled simulation model was less than 5%, and the deviation between the simulation results and the actual maximum dynamic stress under multiple working conditions ranged from 7% to 15%. This verification confirmed the effectiveness of the DEM–FMBD coupled simulation method. Under different adjustment conditions, the maximum stress position was consistently distributed in the same area of the left-front and left-rear rotating arms. The primary and secondary effects of the various parts of the adjustment mechanism on the overall reliability of the chassis were as follows: left front > right front > left rear > right rear. By implementing the middle height with the adjustment strategy, the dynamic stress extreme value of the adjustment mechanism can be effectively reduced by 21.98%, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the chassis.
