The purpose of this research is the further development of the methodology and methods of optimising the parameters of root pile  combined cleaners of a root crop harvesting machine. We have conducted theoretical and experimental studies of the combined  cleaning system’s functioning process. By executing the analysis, we found the motion of the fodder beet through the working surfaces of the feeding conveyor and the auger installed above it. We have got an analytical and empirical process model for the fodder beet’s oblique sub-hit on the auger turn. It characterises the dependence of the total rate of the sub-hit coefficient of the technological  interaction of the roots and the depth of the root damage, which depend on the main parameters of the combined cleaning system. We found out the rational limits of the basic structural and kinematic parameters of the combined cleaning system by the provided minimum fodder beet damage. It is theoretically justified that the minimum damage to roots of the beet roots will be at a contact angle of zero (γ ≅ 0) or close to it. This condition is protected with the following combinations of parameters: a screw diameter of D = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 m and a screw speed of n = 99, 72, 50 rpm, respectively.

Dynamic loads that occur during the operation of existing couplings cause significant shock loads, which leads to rapid wear of the surfaces of the couplings and shortens the service life. Modern technology faces the task of improving the operational reliability of the working bodies and drives of machines. One way to solve this problem is to develop and use high-precision and low-dynamic safety couplings. In this regard, the question of developing new designs of safety couplings that reduce impact loads and increase the reliability and durability of machinery is relevant. The synthesis of structural and kinematic schemes of ball, cam and planetary safety couplings, the method of their calculation in combination with the nature of the change in the moment of resistance on the working body of the equipment. The article conducts a set of theoretical and experimental studies to determine their rational design, kinematic and dynamic parameters that will satisfy the operating conditions of machines and mechanisms. A force analysis of the elastic element (ring spring) was performed. The scheme of loading of an elastic element by two forces and other settlement schemes are constructed, namely: equivalent system; force diagrams for determining the load torque; force schemes for determining the unit moment; schemes of total bending moment; force schemes to determine the total unit moment. During static experimental studies of the developed ball safety couplings, the nature of their operation was established, the maximum torque at the two stages of operation of the couplings was determined and a comparative analysis between the results of theoretical and experimental studies was performed. The positive results of experimental researches of the developed coupling and theoretical positions which can be applied to a substantiation and a choice of rational parameters of the developed designs of couplings and their engineering designing were confirmed.

Abstract In the rifled barrels of each type of armament, the material wear of the rifled bore is closely related to the number of fires shot, this being expressed by the variation of the inner diameter of the barrel in the sections where the measurements were made and evidenced by the decreases in the initial velocity, (ΔVo) relative to the number of fires shot (N). As the number of fires shot increases, the initial velocity of the fired projectiles decreases. In the present paper, the regression equation of the initial velocity of the 76 mm, 1982 model cannon was determined and it was emphasized that the differences between the initial velocity determined by the regression calculation (Voir) and the experimentally determined initial velocity (Voi) are very small. Therefore, it can be appreciated that the law of regression of the determined initial velocity reproduces faithfully the real situation of the decrease in the initial velocity when firing with this type of cannon

Introduction. Peeling the moistened grains before grinding allows removing most of the outer shells with impurities on them from the grain surface. At the present time, the most commonly used machines for peeling are devices operating on the principle of “compression and friction”, in which the grains move along the friction surfaces of the working bodies. The aim of this study is to define and select structural and kinematic parameters of the machine working bodies, which would most effectively perform the process of peeling, and to make energy assessment of grain peeling. Materials and Methods. To identify the dependence of the machine design and operating parameters on the inclination angle and punching angle of the sieve cylinder, a diagram of the movement of the grain along the inclined cylinder was drawn up using elements of the theory of the motion of material point on rough surfaces. The motion of grains on the cylinder surface is analyzed by the methods of analytical dynamics. Results. The values of the geometric parameters of the particle position at point A are expressed as a function of the cylinder inclination angle α and the angle characterizing the shape of the inclined line of stamping of the cylinder β. Energy assessment of grain peeling process was made. With the radius of the sieve cylinder R0 = 0.135 m, the width of the working annular gap к = 0.01 m, the length of the cylinder L = 0.4 m, the horizontal arrangement of the cylinder, the angular velocity of the shaft ω = 90 rad/s, the angle of inclination of the stamping β = 22º, the calculated power was P = 4.5 kW. Discussion and Conclusion. As a result of analyzing the motion trajectory of the grain located on the cylinder surface, there have been proposed the formulas relating the shape of the inclined punching line of the cylinder, characterized by the angle β, to the inclination angle α, the radius R0 of the cylinder, the shaft angular velocity and the grain frictional properties. The obtained analytical dependencies can be used for the approximate definition of the peeling machine design and kinematic parameters.

Summary. This article is dedicated to the subject of designing additional tools for use with reversible ploughs that cuts and loosens topsoil. The aim is to reduce power consumption spent for soil tillage by using reversible ploughs with roller cultivators. Methods. Theoretical and experimental studies of the topsoil movement on the plough’s wing, the mouldboard and beyond. Results. Analysis of the movement of soil particles falling from the top edge of the plough’s moulboard has allowed to obtain analytical dependence for determining the size range of soil particles based on the geometry of the working surface of the plough’s body (distance from the soil surface to the top edge of the mouldboard, the angles of the edge of the mouldboard) and the kinematic parameters of the soil (speed of the plough and roller cultivator, soil particles speed on the edge of mouldboard, soil particles descent time). A research, on the movement of the soil particles, on the mouldboard surface of the plough's body is presented. The section through the mouldboard perpendicular to the wing of the plough is described by the equation of the "inverted" cycloid and based on it the dependences have been obtained to determine the kinematic parameters of the movement of the soil particles on the surface of the plough’s body, depending on the mouldboard type and properties of the soil. Results obtained in this article allow to design the roller cultivators for reversible ploughs with determined parameters of installation, in which the power consumption costs of the plowing process will be minimal. Conclusions. Obtained analytical dependences, that determine kinematic and technological parameters of the soil movement on the working surface of the plow, the section through the orthogonal wing that has the form of an "inverted"cycloid, the variable design and technological parameters of the plough and the conditions of its operation, allowing to justify the installation parameters of the roller cultivator relative to the plough, taking into account the proposed correction ratio, which depends on the mechanical properties of the soil and its structure.

Reduction of energy consumption, which creates hygienic root crops, is achieved with the use of expanded boxes of new technologies and improved pick-up modules, which is an urgent scientific task. Tests of the energy-saving method of growing plants are given and what is more, the scheme of experimental installations (put into operation of the plant harvesting module) and the methods of experimental field factors used in roots have been provided. Analytical and empirical dependencies are obtained, which characterize the change of the second feed and the specific mass of the cut and chopped knife of the rotary saw cutter, depending on the velocity of the module, the yield capacity and the density of chicory root crops plantation. The specific mass of the plant harvested from 3 rows of root crops are, respectively, in the range from 17 to 36 (kg/s) and from 19 to 27 (kg/m2). The results of the experimental studies were processed using Statistics 10, the confidence level P = 0.95, the Fisher F-criterion F = 100.8> Frit and the t-alpha criterion t = 2.05. Based on the graphical constructions it was established that the discrepancy between theoretical and experimental values of the second feed and the specific gravity of the ridge ranges from 10 to 15 (%).


Despite the availability of extensive research on the mechanized post-harvest processing of root crops and onions, which continues today, there are unresolved problems in this area, which in most cases are associated with the imperfection of the design of separating bodies of post-harvest processing machines. Existing machines cause damage to commercial products as a result of the interaction of root crops and onions with each other, with working bodies and soil lumps. However, the largest percentage of damage is formed as a result of their interaction with the working bodies of the separating machines. The article presents a structural and technological scheme of a module for separation of a pile of root crops and bulbs developed at the VIM Federal Agroengineering Center. In order to determine the place of the greatest force impact and to carry out subsequent measures to eliminate these negative effects in the design of the module under consideration, industrial studies were conducted. A methodology has been developed for conducting industrial studies to as sess the impact of working bodies on the amount of damage to root crops and onions during operation using the «Tuber Log» electronic tuber. The results of studies of module working bodies force impact that affect the damage to marketable products are obtained, processed and graphically presented. The greatest force impact (до 10 Н) on tuber falls on the time interval of values from 4 to 6 s, while the standard deviation and coefficient of variation are σ = 5,52 and ν = 26,9 %, respectively. The most «sparing» force impacts of the working bodies of the machine for separating the data logger at the translational speed of rubberized rollers V0B =0,8 m/s were determined, where the minimum power impact in the range from 2 H to 4 H is created throughout the entire process.

The purpose of this study is to improve the technology of manufacturing spherical disk working bodies of tillage machines to increase their wear resistance and strength. The world's leading manufacturers achieve high wear resistance and strength of discs made of boron-containing steels both in their chemical composition and the choice of rational heat treatment technology. Experimental studies of 30MnB5 steel parts revealed that heating for 15 minutes to a temperature of 850°C and quenching in water was sufficient to achieve maximum hardness values. To prevent hardness reduction and to ensure the necessary elasticity and viscosity of the discs, it is recommended to temper at a temperature of 180°C and combine with heat before painting with powder paint. The application of cutting blanks with cutting of depressions along the outer contour of the disk and internal holes on the laser machine, as well as the formation of the finished shape of parts in the process of hot stamping and subsequent heat treatment in quenching dies. 1.
