УСОВЕРШЕНСТВОВАННЫЙ ЦИЛИНДРИЧЕСКИЙ БУНКЕР ДЛЯ ХРАНЕНИЯ СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННОЙ ПРОДУКЦИИ

Abstract

An improved cylindrical hopper for storing agricultural products is proposed, the distinctive feature of which is the nature of the arrangement of through additional channels with conveyors in the foundation below the floor, which are parallel to each other and necessarily cross the central channel with the central conveyor at right angles. This arrangement of through additional channels with conveyors allows you to evenly distribute additional funnels over the floor area, as a result, uniform unloading of the cylindrical hopper is ensured over its entire area with minimal agricultural product residues on the floor and the operation of the conveyors independently of each other, which allows for the maximum possible supply of raw materials to each conveyor. The most efficient unloading of the hopper is realized when the funnels and additional funnels are fully opened, when the maximum possible supply of agricultural products occurs to the central conveyor and to each conveyor installed in the through additional channel. The dependences for determining the technical performance of the unloading system of a cylindrical hopper are given, which made it possible to perform a comparative analysis of the technical performance of the improved hopper and its prototype. The performed analysis showed that, under equal conditions, the technical performance of the unloading system of the improved cylindrical hopper is 30...33% higher than the technical performance of the unloading system of the prototype. The technical performance of the cylindrical hopper unloading system depends on the location of the conveyors relative to each other and on the funnel feed, the higher the funnel feed, the greater the technical performance of the conveyors. A dependence is obtained for calculating the required power of the drive motor at a known value of the technical performance of the conveyor. The practical use of the improved design of a cylindrical hopper for storing agricultural products will make it possible to quickly unload products.
