As a major agricultural country, China's agricultural production needs to meet the needs of 1.3 billion people. In the process of agricultural production, agricultural machinery plays a crucial role, which is of great significance for improving the efficiency of agricultural production and increasing the yield of agricultural products. In the application process of agricultural machinery, it is necessary to pay attention to the maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery in order to ensure its performance and extend its service life. This article analyzes the causes of failures in agricultural machinery and proposes specific maintenance and repair measures for agricultural machinery.
1. Reasons for agricultural machinery malfunctions
1.1 Malfunctions of agricultural machinery itself
During the application process of agricultural machinery, over time, its own parts will inevitably experience wear, loss, and loosening, which can easily cause agricultural machinery to malfunction and affect its performance, even leading to the inability to use agricultural machinery normally.
1.2 Agricultural machinery malfunctions due to improper operation
With the promotion of agricultural machinery, a large number of advanced new agricultural machinery have been widely used. However, due to the low understanding of new agricultural machinery among Chinese farmers, coupled with the lack of careful reading of the manual and comprehensive understanding of the specific performance of these agricultural machinery, it is easy to have continuous operation. Improper operation can lead to agricultural machinery failures.
1.3 Agricultural machinery failures caused by external forces
In addition to the failure of agricultural machinery itself and improper operation, external forces are also one of the important reasons for the failure of agricultural machinery. External forces include both climate conditions and human damage, as well as the parking environment for agricultural machinery. For agricultural machinery, the volume and weight of agricultural machinery are usually large, making it difficult to park indoors. Often, agricultural machinery is parked outdoors in an open-air environment, which can cause long-term exposure to wind, sun, and rain, all of which can cause serious corrosion to agricultural machinery. In addition, the poor parking environment makes it easy for agricultural machinery to malfunction. In addition, some human collisions during the parking or use of agricultural machinery can also cause malfunctions.
2. Maintenance of agricultural machinery
2.1 Maintenance of agricultural machinery itself
In the maintenance process of agricultural machinery, the principles of "nurturing is more important than repairing" and "prevention is more important than treatment" should always be upheld. Strictly follow the technical maintenance regulations of agricultural machinery for maintenance. In the application process of agricultural machinery, it is necessary to operate according to the specific requirements of the manual, and apply agricultural machinery reasonably on the basis of mastering the operation methods of agricultural machinery proficiently and understanding the actual performance of agricultural machinery. The maintenance of agricultural machinery should be carried out regularly according to the maintenance cycle of power machinery. For fuel powered machinery, it is important to focus on checking for any electrical leakage, oil leakage, or water leakage. In addition, attention should also be paid to whether agricultural machinery has missing parts, deformation, or rust. It is necessary to ensure that the sealing area is completely sealed, and to ensure that the supporting agricultural tools of agricultural machinery rotate flexibly and lift smoothly. Only in this way can the performance of agricultural machinery be ensured to be intact, enabling it to work normally and improving the safety of agricultural machinery during operation.
2.2 Improving the technical level of operators
Improper operation is the main reason for the failure of agricultural machinery. Due to the low cultural level of most agricultural machinery operators and a lack of comprehensive understanding of the performance of agricultural machinery, failure to read the manual carefully or strictly follow the requirements of the manual before formal operation can lead to the failure of agricultural machinery. Therefore, operators should pay attention to improving their technical level. In addition to carefully reading the manual, they should also pay attention to strengthening the learning of mechanical technology. Through learning, they can master the maintenance knowledge of agricultural machinery, so as to better maintain agricultural machinery. In addition, operators should also regularly inspect and maintain agricultural machinery. When agricultural machinery malfunctions, they should take the correct steps for maintenance. Do not blindly dismantle the machinery or replace its parts on their own to avoid causing greater damage to the machinery. In short, only by improving the technical level of operators can agricultural machinery be operated in a formal manner and better maintained.
2.3 Improving the Parking Environment of Agricultural Machinery
Through the analysis above, we can recognize that the parking environment can also have a significant impact on agricultural machinery, and is also one of the important reasons for the failure of agricultural machinery. Although agricultural machinery often needs to be parked outdoors due to its large mass and volume, it is necessary to ensure that the ground of the parking area is flat, and the parking location of agricultural machinery should be kept away from fire sources. Attention should be paid to the ventilation of the parking environment, and it is best to choose a well ventilated and relatively dry place for parking. When parking, attention should be paid to the protection of important components, and important components of agricultural machinery should be covered to avoid erosion from rain, wind, and sunlight.
3. Maintenance of agricultural machinery
With the application of agricultural machinery, corresponding failures are inevitable, which makes the maintenance of agricultural machinery more important. But currently, there are many maintenance manufacturers for agricultural machinery, including both legitimate agricultural technology maintenance units and unlicensed maintenance points. But in order to ensure the maintenance quality of agricultural machinery, we should choose qualified repair points for maintenance. Firstly, it is advisable to choose maintenance service points set up by agricultural machinery manufacturers for maintenance. At these maintenance points, farmers only need to provide warranty cards and purchase invoices to repair agricultural machinery. What are the maintenance techniques and quality of the repair points set up by these manufacturers? With protection, good maintenance results can be achieved. Therefore, when agricultural machinery malfunctions, it is advisable to first go to the maintenance points established by the manufacturer in various regions for maintenance. In addition, the maintenance quality of maintenance points approved by the agricultural machinery regulatory department can also be guaranteed. At these maintenance points, the maintenance personnel also have professional maintenance skills, which can achieve good maintenance results. However, it is worth noting that in order to maintain one's own interests, one should request a repair certificate from them after the repair. If parts need to be replaced during the repair process, an invoice for parts replacement needs to be requested. Once quality problems occur during the maintenance warranty period, farmers can provide free re maintenance with relevant receipts. For relatively remote areas, the maintenance of agricultural machinery should adhere to the principle of being nearby, but it should also be carried out at qualified maintenance points. If maintenance is carried out at unlicensed repair points, due to the limited level of technical personnel at these repair points and the unclear source of relevant components, the quality of the components cannot be guaranteed, which can easily cause secondary damage to agricultural machinery.
In summary, the maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery will directly affect the performance and service life of agricultural machinery, and will have an impact on the vital interests and personal safety of farmers. Therefore, daily maintenance should be highly valued, and when faults are found, they should be repaired at regular repair points.
