摘要

本研究開發架高式槽耕用電動鬆土機，藉以取代人力，高效率進行鬆土作業，除可減少溫網室作物栽培的人力需求及作業辛勞外，透過機械對土壤均勻的鬆土作用，亦可增加土壤透氣性及排水性，有利於作物的生長。電動鬆土機採用無刷直流馬達，將動力透過傳動軸傳輸至鬆土刀組以進行鬆土作業。此機輪距及鬆土深度均可調整，可適用於不同寬度的耕槽。本機每小時可鬆土450 m^2，其作業效率為現行人力作業的12倍；且鬆土後介質的粗細度及栽培面的平整度均優於人力作業。電動鬆土機的重量輕，易於搬動，作業時無廢氣，適合溫室作業，除可用於槽耕鬆土作業外，亦可應用於有機質肥料的混合作業。

The study developed an electric soil loosener for elevated-trough culture systems, which could replace the labor to loosen soil in high efficiency. Using the electric soil loosener could not only reduce the labor demand in greenhouse crop production, also increase the aeration and drainage of soil, which is beneficial to the crop growth. The electric soil loosener uses a brushless direct current motor. The battery power is transferred through the transmission shaft to the blades for loosening soil. The track of the machine and the loosening depth can be adjusted so that it could be applied to different width of trough. The loosening efficiency of the electric soil loosener is 450 m^2 per hour, which is 12 times higher than that by manual operations. Moreover, the fineness and flatness of the medium after machine loosening is better than that of by manual loosening. The electric soil loosener is light weight, easy to move, no emissions when operating, and suitable for greenhouse operations. Besides loosening soil, the machine can be used to mix organic fertilizers for trough systems.
