Abstract
If the grass roots of the water conveyance channel slope dig into the soil, it may cause the soil structure to loosen, and then increase the risk of slope landslide. The operation of manual cleaning weeds is dangerous due to the large slope of the channel. In this context, the design of a channel slope weeder that can adapt to different slopes is very important for the protection of the water channel slope. The weeder concept vehicle designed in this paper is mainly composed of four parts: drive car, frame mechanism, track mechanism and weeder mechanism. At the same time, the structure is analyzed by finite element method, and the stability and safety are analyzed by strength. The reference is provided for the design of the algal removal vehicle on the channel slope.
