Abstract
The increasing volumes of the earthworks performed by trenching excavators during the creation of the lengthy excavations in the soil for the pipelines of different sizes and other purposes create the need to improve the excavators, to create new highly productive machines of the fundamentally new construction. The goal of this work is to increase the performance of trenching excavators equipped with the bucketless rotary implement by improving the process of the soil discharging from the implement. To achieve this goal it is required to reveal the physical essence of the soil excavation by the bucketless rotary implement and based on the performed study to determine the rational installation position for the discharging unit of the bucketless rotor. Methodology. The scientific hypothesis is that discharging of the inner circular cavities of the bucketless rotor during the trench digging and the movement of the excavated soil to the side from the trench is possible by means of rational use of the flow header pressure of the soil that is being transported in the rotor from the excavation. The study is performed with analytical methods using basic principles of the theoretical mechanics, flowing medium statics, force analysis. Results. The study confirms the scientific hypothesis of the possibility to discharge the bucketless rotary implements of the trenching excavators by using the flow header pressure of the excavated soil that is transported by the rotor from the excavation, rational installation position of the discharging unit of the implement is defined. Originality. The scientific novelty of the study lays in the rationale and confirmation of the possi-bility to excavate and transport the soil from the excavation with the implements of the rotary trenching excavators with continuous flow and not with the separate portions. Practical value. Practical value lays in ensuring the 2-5 times performance increase of the excavation using the bucketless rotary implements.
