Abstract: Traditional soybean seeders are driven by land wheels, which are easy to slip in complex operating conditions, resulting in the increased miss-seeding index and row-spacing coefficient of variation, etc. In order to solve these problems, a soybean electrical-control seeding system was designed in this paper. For improving the control accuracy of the electrical seeding system and achieving precise control of soybean seeding, the closed-loop control was adopted in the electric-driven Soybean Seeding system, the motor model of the electric-driven soybean seeding system was established and the transfer function of the motor was obtained. The PID control parameters were obtained by the Ziegler-Nichols PID tuning method, and the corresponding parameters were substituted into the control system simulation model established in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The conventional PID control system and the fuzzy PID control system were simulated respectively. Field trial results show that seeding with fuzzy PID control is better.
