Experimental Study on Performance of Cotton Small Arch Shed Recovery Machine

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

1、2.1 Machine structure and key mechanism design content, please add part number or part name in the corresponding diagram, so as to help readers understand the working principle of the mechanism.

 

2、2.2 planting agronomic requirements, the following table 1 machine technical parameters table is recommended to be placed in 2.1 machine structure and working principle.

 

3、2.3.1 For the design of key parts, it is recommended to increase the physical model analysis between the machine forward speed and synchronous gear belt speed or increase the movement trajectory of the clamping device during the operation of the machine to ensure that the Angle of the arch bar is perpendicular to the ground.

 

4、2.3.3 Force analysis of rolling wheel of film rolling mechanism, the chapter name does not match well with its content, please add the content of force analysis and graphic representation on the basis; Or the name is changed to roller/rolling structure design.

Dear exper teacher:

Thank you for your comments on my paper. I have revised it as required. The red font is the reply part I modified. If there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct it. Thank you very much again.

The following black font is the teacher's opinion, and the red font is the author's modification.

1.Comments and Suggestions for Authors

1、2.1 Machine structure and key mechanism design content, please add part number or part name in the corresponding diagram, so as to help readers understand the working principle of the mechanism.There is less literature review discussed kindly include more.

The part number and part name have been marked on the machine structure diagram in Figure 1, see Figure 1 for details.

2、2.2 planting agronomic requirements, the following table 1 machine technical parameters table is recommended to be placed in 2.1 machine structure and working principle.Kindly include the dataset descriptions.

 

Table 1 has been adjusted to section 2.1.

 

3、2.3.1 For the design of key parts, it is recommended to increase the physical model analysis between the machine forward speed and synchronous gear belt speed or increase the movement trajectory of the clamping device during the operation of the machine to ensure that the Angle of the arch bar is perpendicular to the ground.

This part increases the analysis of the influence of matching machine forward speed and synchronous tooth belt speed on operation stability.

4、2.3.3 Force analysis of rolling wheel of film rolling mechanism, the chapter name does not match well with its content, please add the content of force analysis and graphic representation on the basis; Or the name is changed to roller/rolling structure design.

The name is changed to design of rolling mechanism structure .

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The submitted manuscript on the topic "Experimental Study on performance of of cotton small-arch shed recovery machine" contains scientific elements using specific research methods. A manuscript may be valuable to specific stakeholders.

Comments

1. Dear authors, You have submitted a manuscript for consideration in the special issue "Sustainable Agriculture", so it is necessary to provide additional information, the author's vision of how your manuscript corresponds to the disciplines of the publishing house.

2. I recommend rewriting the "Abstract" section, it should correspond to the style of structured theses, but without headings: 1) Reveal the question in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the research; 2) briefly describe the main applied methods. 3) summarize the main conclusions of the article;

3. Keywords: Small arch shed planting; recycling machine; sustainable agriculture; field experiment; data analysis and discussion.

Are there keywords in the text of the manuscript, such as "sustainable agriculture", "data analysis and discussion", and is there a scientific and practical opinion formulated under them? After the abstract, you need to add three to ten relevant keywords. Keywords should be specific to the article, but fairly common in the subject discipline.

4. Accordingly, clearly formulate scientific innovation taking into account the philosophy of "Sustainable agriculture"

5. I suggest that the "Discussion" section be displayed as a separate section, which will emphasize the importance of the research and the scientific authority of the author's team. Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted in light of previous research and working hypotheses. Findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest possible context and limitations of the work should be highlighted, possibly mentioning future research directions. This section can be combined with the results, but such a discussion is almost completely absent in the text of the manuscript.

6. It is necessary to make technical corrections to the names of sections, literature, etc. at the request of the publisher. In my opinion, this section needs to be expanded, accordingly, there will be an opportunity to increase the "Introduction" section, which in turn will allow the authors to adjust more under "Sustainable agriculture".

The abstract part has been improved according to the requirements, specifically see the winning red part of the article.

3. Keywords: Small arch shed planting; recycling machine; sustainable agriculture; field experiment; data analysis and discussion.Are there keywords in the text of the manuscript, such as "sustainable agriculture", "data analysis and discussion", and is there a scientific and practical opinion formulated under them? After the abstract, you need to add three to ten relevant keywords. Keywords should be specific to the article, but fairly common in the subject discipline.

More sustainable agriculture has been added to the manuscript text, specifically marked in red.

This section can be combined with the results, but such a discussion is almost completely absent in the text of the manuscript.

 

The article adds a Discussion section, which describes the future research direction and the places to be improved.

6.It is necessary to make technical corrections to the names of sections, literature, etc. at the request of the publisher. In my opinion, this section needs to be expanded, accordingly, there will be an opportunity to increase the "Introduction" section, which in turn will allow the authors to adjust more under "Sustainable agriculture".

Point 6 does not understand what the specific reference is, but there is an introduction at the beginning of my article, and now the words such as sustainable agriculture have been added, please review.

Thank you again for your comments, which have made my paper more improved. Thank you very much.
