The technique for calculating the grinding module drive was shown. The arrangement of the modules on the corn harvester sweep frame was demonstrated. Corn harvesting with the suggested module corn harvester allows not only reducing combine metal consumption and reducing corn ears injuring, but improving maintainability as well

The article presents results of design development and calculation methodology for corn harvesters stalks shearing mechanism constructed as a module with a storage device. According to the number of engagement rows, these modules are mounted on the sweep frame of corn harvesters. All modules have the ability to accumulate energy, the rotation of saws in which at each time point does not depend on saws rotation in other modules and they are not connected with each other and with other mechanisms. Constructive execution of corn stalks shearing mechanism with accumulation device allows rapid separation of each module from the frame of the corn harvester in order to eliminate possible problems (change of saw or the entire module assembly). The methods of the energy storage calculation and electric motor power selection for each module are presented

The article considers manufacturing techniques and assembling screw propellers of transport vehicles for rice and fish farms. The increase in technological capabilities, reliability and carrying capacity of transport vehicles is achieved by making the propeller screw, with the possibility of its rotation. We called such propellers screw propellers, since along their perimeter along the entire length, multiple-curved curved surfaces are formed in the form of helical grooves of various configurations, sizes and shapes. The spatial form of the screw propellers is made with screw surfaces in the form of helical grooves, which ensures that the transport machines for rice and fish farms are conveyed on land, on water, through swampy and difficult terrain at a sufficiently high speed. As a result of the work performed, not only the designs of screw propellers and their classification were proposed, in which there is a general principle that allows the development of still unknown structures of propellers, but also their manufacturing techniques. The design of screw propellers was performed using the KOMPAS-3D software package using descriptive geometry and engineering graphics

Improvement is offered for working bodies’ forms in devices for preparation of forages by methods of engineering geometry and computer graphics. That opens not only great opportunities for intensification, increase in productivity and efficiency of the technological processes, but also opens ways for creation of small-sized devices for their realization. Constructive study of geometry of working bodies surface, allows us to give wavy movement to particles of forage and impart them the movement with bigger power consumption. In such installations forage particles components, meeting walls of working body, change their direction and, meeting other portions of particles of forage components, mix up. From loading to unloading, throughout the installations working body length, flexible and strong waves of forage particles components movement inside the working body are born. The conducted pilot studies have shown that as a result of working bodies’ forms improvement of devices for preparation of forages by methods of descriptive geometry such devices can be implemented in a variety of industries

Analytical research results of contact forces of interaction of concentrated forages components’ particles in their movement in relative screw drums are presented. It is shown that contact forces – the most difficult forces by their nature; result from stochastic (probable) collision of bulks particles and in particular of concentrated forages components’ particles. Therefore the main objective of this modeling – to describe the stochastic phenomena of the so-called conditional contacts of particles for which some assumptions are accepted, for example, in forcing of mass of concentrated forages components’ particles by the walls of the rotating relative screw drum in the radial direction there will simultaneously arise contacts caused by geometry of a screw drum, i.e. the property of its walls is pressure transfer in relation to the mass of particles in the direction of the modeled movement. Schemes of engagement of concentrated forages components’ particles contacting in the relative screw drum, the probable schedule of sliding speeds values change in their consecutive contacting, their density distribution are demonstrated

Original screw designs of buildings and columns are offered. Frameworks of these buildings and columns are the bearing elements and means of external and internal decoration of buildings and constructions. Originality of such buildings and columns frameworks is ensured by the fact that their design is decorated on the outer surface with broken or smooth screw edges and screw surfaces. Versatility of the offered screw columns trunks designs, as well as the possibility of performance of their left or right screwing allows reaching certain symmetry or their repeatability in the form of harmonious alternation of the bearing trunks of screw columns and spaces between them. Giving to numerous sides of trunks of screw columns of a certain invoice, or their coloring in different colors, will contribute even more to their expressiveness and beauty. Durability and vibration resistance (including seismic) of such trunks of screw columns at the same volumes of construction materials, in comparison with round and rectangular trunks is higher
