Modeling the Process of Transportation of Seed Cotton through the Parameters of the Food Zone

In the process of separating the fiber from the seed, the density of the seed roll in the roll box of the saw gin is constantly changing. With an increase in the density of the seed roll, the quality indicators of fiber and seed deteriorate, energy consumption increases, machine breakdowns increase, and with a decrease in density, the productivity of the machine decreases. For this reason, the regulation of the density of the seed roll is one of the important problems in the ginning process. For this, the speed of rotation of the feed rollers changes, which, with an increase in speed, the mass of cotton increases, and with a decrease, it decreases. Thus, the density of the seed roll is controlled. The article describes the problem of regulating the density of a seed roll in a saw gin of the DP series, an overview of the work on regulating the operation of the machine is given. In this work, the force of cotton pressure between two feed rollers is also theoretically investigated. Graphs of changes in the force of cotton pressure between two rollers are plotted depending on various initial pressure forces. The results of the study will be used in the further improvement of the cotton feeding regulation in order to maintain the optimum density of the seed roll, which will preserve the quality of the fiber and seeds while increasing the productivity of the machine.
