The mechanical damage of corn kernels during harvest leads to mildew in the kernel storage process, seriously affecting food safety and quality. Impact force is the primary source of mechanical damage in the corn threshing process, and its accurate detection is of great significance for corn threshing with low damage. A method for the impact force detection of corn ears was proposed in this manuscript. The momentum theorem determined the main factors influencing impact force (weight, falling height, and space attitude). Corn ear weight, falling height, and space attitude were used as experimental factors. The bench test was carried out with the impact force of corn ear as the output variable. During the experiment, piezoelectric sensors were used to collect the impact force of corn ears under different motion states. Then, the impact force detection model was constructed using four machine learning algorithms: multiple linear regression, ridge regression, random forest, and support vector regression. The results showed that the RF algorithm was more suitable for constructing the prediction model of average and maximum impact force when corn ears fall, SD, RMSE, and r were, respectively: 0.9526, 1.2685, 0.9855: 3.8389, 3.6071, and 0.8510. Secondly, the weight characteristics had the most significant influence on the impact force detection of the ear. Therefore, this method can be used as an accurate, objective, and efficient online detection method for impact force.
