An Experiment Platform for Common Mountain Orchard Transport

In order to provide orchard transport with an objective assessment of running performance, and provide reasonable improvement of relevant technical parameters with basic data, a common mountain orchard transport test system on experiment platform was constructed based on PLC. Torque and rotational speed of the driving shaft, guide wheel speed, wear and tear of the driving shaft wheels groove, vehicle vibration acceleration and other varieties of physical quantity can be measured on the system. The system hardware include load adjustable orchard transport vehicle, slope adjustable track, some test element such as eddy current sensor, data logger etc. The system software obtain test data through muti-channel data logger added in the PC, and most function such as data collection, data processing, final graphic display and data storage will be realized on it. It was revealed by running experiment that the test system can be used for multiple parameters of overall performance of the rail transport and offer test conditions or theoretical basis to optimization of transport running performance.
