Abstract
The article presents the results of the design and manufacture of a small-sized soil bin taking into account the specifics of the functioning of rotary tools.
The object of research is research equipment in the form of a soil bin, intended for scientific and educational study of rotary tools.
The problem to be solved was to find out the specifics of the operation of rotary tools and to design a small-sized soil bin taking into account these specifics. The data obtained in the course of experimental research and theoretical analysis confirmed the determining influence of the kinematic parameter on the indicators of the interaction between the rotary tool and the soil.
As a result of the research, a concept was proposed and a soil mini-bin was designed, which allows investigate both the mechanics of the process and performing graphic modeling.
The obtained result is explained by the fact that the mediator of motion transmission during the experiments is a soil trough, and the drive belt is rearranged in engagement with pulleys of different diameters. This provides a different ratio of linear movement of the cuvette and rotation of the working body.
The peculiarity of the design is the combination of variable movable cuvettes and graphic screens with a stationary position of the rotor. The design provides simplicity and visibility of the assignment of different values of the kinematic parameter.
A distinctive feature is the modularity of the layout. This allows you to conduct research with variable cuvettes with different soil composition, and immediately receive a graphic interpretation of the kinematic mode on the screen. This implementation of the soil mini- bin simplifies the observation and recording of the result of the interaction of the rotor with the model environment.
The field of practical use is scientific research in the field of agricultural engineering. The obtained data can be used to improve existing tools. The research process is part of the educational process at the agricultural university.
