Abstract
Due to the well-known advantages, rotary tillage implements are widely used in the cultivation of many agricultural crops. Structurally, the working units of rotary implements are located (installed) on the frame, as a rule, sequentially one after the other. This reduces the maneuverability of the tillage unit, increases the material consumption of the implement and the energy consumption of the technological operation. In the rotary tillage tool developed at Kazan State Agrarian University for pre-sowing soil cultivation, these disadvantages are eliminated by installing a spiral-screw working unit and a section of active ellipsoidal needle disks on the frame coaxially. The research was carried out in order to determine and substantiate the design parameters of the elliptical needle disk. A theoretical dependence is obtained to substantiate the angle α of inclination of the major axis of the ellipsoid disk to the axis of rotation. It was revealed that its rational value must correspond to the condition: α> 44°…62°. An expression for determining the number of needles on a disk is given. The calculation carried out with a disk diameter D= 0.4 m, an angle α= 65 °, an indicator of a kinematic mode λ= 2, a mulching depth a= 0.04 m, a ridging h= 0.004 m showed that a rational number of needles per disc k= 16. Analytically, a theoretical expression for determining the angle of inclination of the needles to the axis of rotation has been derived. The calculation performed at α= 65 ° revealed that the first needle is inclined to the axis of rotation at a minimum angle jmin= 65 °, the fifth and thirteenth needles are inclined to the axis of rotation at an angle of 90 °, the ninth needle is inclined to the axis of rotation at a maximum angle jmax= 115 °. Also obtained are theoretical dependences for determining the angle of attachment of the needles on the hub and the length of the needles along the entire perimeter of the disk. The calculation showed that each needle is fixed on the disc hub at its calculated angle of inclination, equal to 29.0°...32.6°, and the length of the needles along the perimeter of the hub varies within 0.1372 ... 0.1503 m
