The agricultural power unit is the core of agricultural machinery, providing the power and energy required for agricultural operations, thus driving agricultural production forward. This section includes various types of power sources and energy conversion devices, as well as related power transmission and control systems.
Internal combustion engines: Internal combustion engines are one of the primary sources of agricultural power, generating energy through fuel combustion to drive the operation of agricultural machinery. Internal combustion engines are mainly divided into gasoline engines and diesel engines, characterized by high efficiency, high power output, and wide application, capable of driving various agricultural equipment such as tractors, harvesters, and irrigation pumps.
Electric power: Electricity is another commonly used source of agricultural power, driving the operation of agricultural machinery through the electrical system. This form of power source is characterized by cleanliness, quiet operation, and ease of control, commonly used in electric tractors, hay harvesters, and irrigation equipment.
Human and animal power: In some regions and specific agricultural productions, human and animal power remain important sources of power. Human-powered agricultural tools such as hand-operated cultivators, hand-held grass mowers, etc., are typically used in small-scale and more traditional agricultural production. Animal power includes animals such as horses, donkeys, and oxen, used for pulling agricultural equipment and transporting agricultural products.
Solar energy: With the development of renewable energy, solar energy as a new source of agricultural power is gradually gaining attention. Solar panels can convert sunlight into electricity, used to power agricultural machinery and equipment such as solar pump stations, solar irrigation systems, etc., with the advantages of being green, sustainable, and capable of independent operation.
Power transmission and control systems: The agricultural power unit also includes power transmission and control systems, used to convert and transmit power from power sources to agricultural machinery, and control their operation and function. These systems include gearboxes, drive shafts, electronic control units, etc., enabling efficient utilization of power and precise control.
