This is a corn harvester suitable for hilly and mountainous areas. It innovatively combines the two functions of corn harvesting and straw returning to the field. The whole machine is compact and beautiful. It was designed by Changsha No.98 Industrial Design Co., Ltd. (N98Design) and won the 2018DIA China Intelligent Manufacturing Award.

This is a corn harvester suitable for hilly and mountainous areas. The overall structure is compact, beautiful in appearance, with a low body, a stable center of gravity and good passability. This machine combines the innovative technology of efficient straw returning to the field, which can cut the straw to 2cm-3cm, and the effect of crushing and returning to the field is outstanding, effectively solving the environmental pollution problem caused by straw burning in the harvest season. At the same time, the functional structure design of the product is innovative, the product maintenance is simple, and there is almost no need to replace the tool in a single harvest season, which greatly saves the user's use cost and maintenance time. Due to its good terrain applicability, excellent straw returning function, outstanding harvesting efficiency and maintenance convenience, this product has become a star product of small and medium-sized corn harvesters.

Develop a corn harvester suitable for returning straw to the field in hilly and mountainous areas, mainly based on the following two points.
1. Agricultural mechanization in hilly and mountainous areas is the short board and opportunity of agricultural mechanization in our country.
In recent years, my country's agricultural mechanization level has made great progress, but compared with the Great Plains, agricultural mechanization in hilly and mountainous areas is still a shortcoming of my country's agricultural mechanization. The main reason is that mountainous and hilly areas are characterized by complex terrain, large slope, poor natural conditions, small soil area, irregular shape and scattered distribution. China's hilly and mountainous areas account for more than 50% of arable land and cover more than 60% of the population. At present, domestic and foreign enterprises invest less in agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous areas, and there are few agricultural machinery products suitable for operation in hilly and mountainous areas on the market. Traditional agricultural machinery market competition for plain areas is becoming increasingly fierce, and some products have overcapacity, but agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous areas is still the "blue ocean" of the market ".

2. In recent years, straw burning has caused environmental pollution, while farmers lack effective straw treatment equipment:
Burning straw is a traditional farming method. In the real environment where people gather and live, burning straw does cause certain pollution to the environment. On the one hand, governments at all levels have issued "ban on burning", but in the absence of effective straw disposal methods, "burning things" is the most convenient way; on the other hand, although the existing straw balers and straw returning machines on the market can process straw in a mechanized way, they have low economic value and will increase production costs for farmers. Therefore, it is the market, policy and farmers' demand to return straw to the field in a reasonable way.

Innovation Point 1: Suitable for Hilly and Mountainous Terrain
The whole corn harvester has a short body, a low center of gravity, and a maximum operating slope of 35 degrees. It is well adapted to the complex terrain of hilly and mountainous areas. It can harvest 4-8 mu per hour and effectively fill the shortcomings of agricultural mechanization in hilly and mountainous areas;

Innovation Point 2: Straw Crushing and Returning to Field
This model combines the function of straw crushing and returning to the field. It adopts an integrated straw crushing cutting table and three sets of longitudinally arranged double-knife rollers, which can cut the straw to 2-3cm, so that the straw can be directly degraded and returned to the field without incineration, effectively Solve the environmental pollution problem caused by straw burning during the harvest season.

At the same time, straw crushing and returning to the field also reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and reduces the pollution of soil and water sources caused by excessive use of chemical fertilizers.

As corn prices continued to be low, the corn harvester industry as a whole was in the doldrums in 2017. At the same time, the overall innovation of corn harvester industry products is insufficient, especially unable to meet the needs of users in hilly and mountainous areas. It is under such an industry background that 2017 is the first year of the introduction of Kensheng corn harvester, but Kensheng corn harvester has risen against the trend and sales are booming. The factory's full-load production still could not meet the market demand. Orders were suspended in October. In 2017, a total of more than 700 units were produced and sold. The sales volume of a single product in half a year was nearly 0.1 billion yuan.

In 2018, the DIA China Smart Manufacturing Award final defense site, and finally won the "Creative Intelligence Award".

Commercial design has boundaries, rather than blindly pursuing high, fine and sharp. Any commercial design should be suitable for the development needs of the company at a specific stage, and explore solutions to realize commercial value for the company under specific market strategies, brand positioning, process conditions, and manufacturing costs. This is also the core design concept of N98Design.

We deeply understand that under China's national conditions and industrial background, industrial design still has a long way to go. The development strategies of enterprises vary greatly, the level of development of enterprises varies from good to bad, and each enterprise has different perceptions and needs for industrial design. Therefore, in the face of different enterprises, only by adopting appropriate design methods and design strategies can we truly bring market space and economic benefits to enterprises.
