OPTIMIZATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE ROTATION ROLLER USED FOR PROCESSING COTTON BROADS

In this article, the issue of optimizing the parameters of the developed rotary cultivator for cotton cultivators is considered. In this case, such factors as the distance (height) of installation of transverse knives on the disk of the rotary ripper, the number and width of the knives, the force of vertical pressure on the rotary ripper, and the speed of the unit were taken into account. The results of the conducted research show that at the working speeds of the unit of 5.0-6.0 km/h and the number of cross-knives 14 pieces, the distance of installation of cross-knives on the disk of the rotary ripper should be within 2.0 cm, the width of the cross-knives of the rotary ripper 5.0 cm, the vertical load force applied to the rotary ripper should be within 366.0-428.0 N. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the distance of installation of cross-knives on the disk of the rotary ripper should be within 2.0 cm, the width of the cross-knives of the rotary ripper 5.0 cm, the vertical load force applied to the rotary ripper should be within 366.0-428.0 N.
