Dimensions Design of Planar Five-Bar Linkage Transplanting Mechanism for Transplanter

This paper proposes a way of design a transplanting mechanism with plane five-bar linkage for the transplanter. The dimensions of five-bar linkage, which fit the agronomic needs, are designed. Multiple-population genetic algorithm is used to generate the mechanisms in optimum synthesis. And a five-bar linkage is generated in typical example. Also it can fit the needs of given seedling.
