Automated leveling systems for development and cleaning of reclamation channels in the agro-industrial complex

Abstract

Reclamation complexes, the key element of which are bypass canals, are actively used for effective agricultural work. For the development of reclamation canals. as a rule, excavator equipment is used, which subsequently ensures their effective functioning. The analysis of the impact of the efficiency of the functioning of amelioration systems on the agro-industrial complex (AIC) sectors revealed a significant dependence on obtaining high-quality crops or pastures. Factors were identified that reduce the quality of reclamation work. Among them, the indicator of positioning accuracy of the profile of the soil during clearing or arrangement of channels is highlighted as the main one. It was proved that the installation of automated leveling systems will provide technological improvement to the excavator. Modernization of excavators by introducing automatic leveling systems (ALS), allows you to increase the speed and accuracy of work, and therefore productivity. There are three main ALS solutions for excavator operation: ALS 2 D control system; ALS satellite monitoring system; ALS AUTO satellite leveling system. It was determined that for using ALS AUTO, the quality of the work performed does not depend on the human factor. Field tests were carried out at the test site with quality control of the construction embankments with JCB JS 205 excavator modernized with ALS. The data obtained were compared with the results of grading with a JCB JS 205 excavator without ALS. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that with the introduction of automatic leveling systems, the productivity of the equipment increases by 200%, and the accuracy of the work performed has increased 2 times.
