摘要

為開發蝴蝶蘭裝盆機之水苔介質進料裝置，採用輸送帶與轉軸馬達設計機具架構，以輔助人員完成水苔介質進料程序。介質進料裝置由輸送帶、分離轉軸、出料轉軸及電控組件所構成，以馬達為動力來源，為全電力驅動裝置。經試驗結果顯示，在8種進料作業模式中，以輸送帶、分離轉軸及出料轉軸皆採用正向旋轉為最佳模式。各組件馬達轉速以田口法試驗，出料量以調控輸送帶之馬達轉速具顯著影響，出料量之穩定度則以出料轉軸之轉速最具影響力。出料量與作業時間測試，設定輸送帶、分離轉軸及進料轉軸之轉速分別為24、48及24 rpm，作業時間1 sec求得線性解之出料量為194.4 g，以實機操作出料量則為224.8 g，差距18.3%為最小差距。本裝置具有多樣化調整參數，可提供栽培者依需求調整水苔之出料量，進而協助作業工序達省工機械化目標。

This research designs and develops a plant potting mechanism with automatic moss feeding function, and apply the conveyor, shaft and motor to design the mechanism, to assist the operator in the moss feeding operation. The moss feeding device is composed of the conveyor, separation shaft, discharge shaft and electric control components, and powered by a motor, it is a fully electric device. According to the results, it is the best mode to use the positive rotation of the conveyor, separation shaft and discharge shaft. The motor speed of each component is tested by the Taguchi method, the results show that the output is significantly affected by the motor speed regulation of the conveyor, and the stability of the output is most affected by the rotation speed of the discharge shaft. When the speeds of the conveyor belt, separation shaft, and discharge shaft are set at 24, 48, and 24 rpm, the output of the linear solution is 194.4 g obtained in 1 sec of operation time, and the output of the actual machine operation is 224.8 g. The moss feeding device has various adjustment parameters, which can provide the growers to adjust the output of moss according to the planting needs, and then assist the operation to achieve labor-saving and mechanized development.
