In this article we have investigated ways to preserve the quality of horticultural products during transportation and loading works for the intrafarm transportations
The role of transport in agricultural production
is considerable. It is a connecting link in a
single technological chain of the agroindustrial
complex of the country (RF AIC). In
intraeconomic transportation in the RF AIC,
along with cars, we widely use tractors.
Rational application of wheeled tractors in
intraeconomic carriage substantiates the
possibility of their movements both on
asphalted and dirt roads. A specific share of
tractor transport in domestic agriculture
amounts 22-27% of the total transport
transportations and 50-60% of intraeconomic
carriage. There is a high level of the usage of
tractor transport in Western European countries
and in the United States. In farms of leading
Western European countries (Germany, Italy,
France and others.) there is about 70-90% of
intraeconomic carriage performed by tractor
transport. One of the most substantial and
difficult tasks is to fight with damage and losses
of agricultural production, in which a very
responsible role has been assigned to
automobile and tractor transport as an important
link in the AIC. According to the analysis of
materials for the preparation and use of potatoes and apples, more than 15-20% of the products
do not reach the consumer. Low quality of the
use of vehicles during transportation is a
problem. Transport costs in the prime cost of
produced products in rural areas reach 30-40%
or more. Lowering them will further influence
the development of the agroindustrial complex.
Thus, the creation of new of scientifically
grounded decisions in designs of vehicles for
intraeconomic carriage that enhance
preservation and performance of potato
harvesting and apples in the conditions of
Russia's AIC is the actual scientific and
technical task. Its solution makes a significant
contribution to the development of the country,
as well as it contributes to the implementation
of breakeven, competitive manufacture
This article discusses the results of the studies of faculties and staff of Ryazan State Agrotechnological University named after P.A. Kostychev, confirmed with RF patents
In this article we present a study of current problems connected with the formation of a park of automobiles, tractors and aggregates for transportation of agricultural products and ways of
their solution
The mathematical model presented in this article allows you to choose rational values and ranges of design and technological parameters of body separation, as well as their further optimization
One can see some density irregularity within the roll
in the baler with a chamber of constant volume. We
have found out that the maximum density of hay roll
width (the baler width) is observed in the middle part.
This is due to the shape of the hay roll entering the
baler. To even the hay rolls they have mounted some
rotating disks having some inclined spring pins above
the baler. To improve the roller distribution the disks
above the baler have been pushed forward forming a
tapering gap. The evening discs rotating above the
moving roll will cause some relative motion of hay
particles. The interaction of the evening disks with
the hay roll in the vertical plane will be determined
by the elasticity of the hay roll and the weight of the
frame with the disks. We have studied the trajectories
of hay particles motion with the help of MathCad
program. We have had the following initial
parameters: the degree of compaction (decrease of the
roll height when evening), the friction coefficient, the
angle rate of the evening disks, the number of pins and the speed of the hay roll. As a result we have got
the trajectories of the hay particles motion when the
evening disks functioning. The analysis of the
trajectories has allowed to establish some basic
parameters of the evening device such as the distance
of 0.15…0.2 m between the pins; the degree of
compression while evening 20...25 %, the angle rate
of the evening discs 23...30 rad / s and the diameter
of the evening disc 0.74 m. The application of the
evening device in the form of the disks with pins
provides a uniform distribution of hay particles
edgewise of the baler ensuring preliminary hay roll
seal press before passing to the baler pressure
chamber that contributes to getting the rolls with
larger mass and a uniform distribution of hay density
inside the roll
The research results presented in this article are intended to familiarize themselves with promising avenue to improve the quality of potato harvesters by improving the process of separation, as well as working bodies for its implementation
An integral part of technological process for the cultivation of agricultural crop is the transportation. It requires significant energy and labor costs. The statistics show that the proportion of expenses for transportation of goods in agriculture reaches 25-40% of the total costs for the production made, when the proportion of farm tractor transportations reaches 60% of the total. Thus there are considerable losses of production, reaching in separate cases up to 50%. They are especially high in the harvesting and post-harvest cycles of crop production which is connected with crop damage during transportation. The quality of fruits and vegetables during the harvest depends on the technology of its collection and transportation. Due to the rapid deterioration of most agricultural products, agricultural producers have the task in careful transportation of the fruit. A huge role in the preservation of the product is its harvesting and packing into containers. In Russia we use wooden boxes, and foreign farmers use containers, whereby they have higher productivity and preservation of fruits. The type of vehicle, the time of a day and the air temperature also have a large impact on crop damage. In Soviet times, various technologies have been developed for harvesting and transportation of the harvest to consumers using various types of forklifts, harvesters and vehicles. In our time, it requires the development of new technologies for harvesting and transportation of agricultural products to achieve a higher level of automation and high profitability of agricultural production
While mechanical harvesting of potatoes, about
20-40% of the tubers get damages. Dynamic
loads, injuries of the tubers, causing internal
damage – which is browning of the flesh of the tuber, which occurs in the process of its storage.
At the same time, ways to express control of
damage to potato tubers will allow both
reducing damage during harvest, and promptly
sending damaged potatoes for recycling before
the results of mechanical stress for the tubers
during harvesting. The definition of internal
damage to the potatoes is possible because of
the analysis of the different elasticity of the
tissues of damaged and undamaged tubers. The
value of overpressure of the device is chosen
such way that during deformation of tubers
there mainly has been compression of the
damaged tissues of the tuber, with the least
turgor. The degree of damage of samples of
tubers is determined by the ratio of the volume
of damaged tissues of tubers to the total volume
of the sample. We have given the mechanical
properties of tissues of tubers, fruits and root
vegetables, their structure, dimensional
characteristics, it can be assumed that the use of
this method of determining internal damage
possible for apples, carrots, beets and harvest of
other crops. Use of damage control will enable
timely identification of hidden damage and
make it possible to eliminate their causes,
which lead to increase loss products
The results of theoretical studies presented in this article is intended to familiarize with perspective direction of improving quality of work potato harvesters by improving the working bodies of separation
