Development of universal working bodies for cultivators in inter-row processing of cotton
Annotatsiya
Abstract The development of multifunctional universal working bodies that can perform various functions with quick and uncomplicated adjustment, low energy and material consumption, and ensure high-quality processing of row spacing throughout the entire growing season of plants is in high demand. The project documents were developed for mastering the production of a cultivator with a universal working body and were introduced into the design process at BMKB-Agromash JSC. As a result, a universal working body was developed and installed on the beam of the KXU-4B cultivator, featuring quick and easy adjustment and low metal consumption. The use of a cotton cultivator equipped with universal working bodies in inter-row processing of cotton is expected to reduce labor costs by 16.0%, exploitation costs by 15.56%, and metal consumption of the aggregate by 1.23 times, as well as fuel consumption per hectare of cultivated field by 11.26%. To achieve this, a universal working body was designed that performs all technological operations typically performed by multiple working bodies mounted on existing cultivators without compromising quality. The universal working body is equipped with a wide right and left blade, allowing for the cultivation of the middle of the cotton row, slopes, and weed cutting. The result is a constructive scheme of a universal working body, where working parts are concentrated in one column, enabling the performance of technological operations during different vegetative seasons.
