Modeling of Technological Process in Rotary Tiller

Abstract

To identify the specifics of the interaction of the soil and the rotary working equipment, the issues of modeling the technological process of the rotary tiller and its interaction with the soil has been investigated. Comparison of soil strain and deformation values through the application of the ANSYS WORKBENCH software enabled to conclude that the highest strain value in the soil is obse-rved during the soil cutting. The issues of modeling the technological processes of the rotary tiller and its interaction with the soil has been investigated throughout the research. From this perspective it is important to measure the sizes of the slices cut from the soil and to identify the cutting form. The latter are related to both the structure of the rotary tiller and the moving veloci-ty/forward speed/ of the soil cultivating machine, as well as to the rotating numbers of the operating equipment. At the same time during the planning of the working equipment it is possible to get functional relations between various parameters studying the specifics of these relations and improving the structure of the working equipment.
