Abstract: In order to improve the working performance of the hole-forming mechanism for rape seedling transplanting and to shape the planting holes with better parameters, the operation performance of the pure rolling hole forming mechanism and the optimization of relevant parameters were studied by combining the simulation and the soil slot test. The EDEM was used to simulate the soil test and generate the model of pore-forming mechanism. The vertical length and effective depth of the opening were taken as the response, and then the performance of pore-forming under different hole diameters, cone chamfer and depths of penetration were researched. Based on the response surface method, the parameters of the hole-forming mechanism were optimized, and the Box-Behnken test of Design-expert software was used to design and execute the agent model. The optimization parameters of Design-expert software produced the optimal solutions: the hole diameter was 35 mm, the chamfer angle was 64 °, and the depth of soil entry was 68 mm. The simulation and soil-bin test results showed that the average relative error of the length of the openings was only 4.0%, the average relative error of the effective depth was 5.68%, the predicted values of vertical length and effective depth of the optimal opening were 87.9 mm and 48.1 mm, respectively. Under the optimal parameter set, the effective depth was 47.2 mm and the length of the opening was 84.4 mm. This study optimized the operating parameters of the cavitation device and improved the cavitation effect, which provided reference for research on the interaction between the cavitation mechanism and soil.
