With more and more attention paid to comprehensive utilization of agricul-tural biomass resources, environment pol ution caused by large-scale burning of sug-arcane leaves can be effectively avoided, and it is urgent to resolve storage issue of sugarcane leaf. Through referring to the relevant domestic baler models and re-search findings, preliminary design and analysis were conducted on key components compression mechanism of smal sugarcane leaf baler, involving the open compres-sion principle for sugarcane leaf square baler, determination of the crank slider-type compression mechanism and the main parameters such as crank length, compres-sion frequency, feed rate and feed inlet length. Based on SolidWorks software, this paper established the 3-dimensional models of slider-crank type compression mech-anism, and imported it into ADMAMS software for the motion simulation analysis, to establish the foundation for the design and manufacture of subsequent smal sugar-cane leaf square baler prototype.
