The results of experimental studies of the working body of the loader pile of fodder crops

Abstract

The article substantiates the need for this study, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various working bodies of loading devices, as well as the results of the analysis on the prospects of a finger-type separating working body for uniform loading of a pile of seeds into dryers. The factors influencing the working process of leveling the material and the methodology of experimental research are given. The maximum number of factors influencing the process under study has been determined, the most likely areas of their change have been selected and the conditions characterizing the process of leveling the pile of fodder crops by the loader have been selected. The schemes of dependence of the coefficient of uneven leveling of the pile on the feed rate of the material and the speed of rotation of the drum, the dependence of uneven leveling on the length of the finger and the gap between them, the dependence of uneven leveling on the diameter of the drum and the number of rakes and the dependence of uneven leveling on the angle of the fingers and the thickness of the layer of the pile, as well as the influence of kinematic, structural and technological parameters of the working body are presented on the quality of leveling the pile.
