Abstract

Improving the performance of transport tractor units in operations for removing peat from production areas is associated with increased body trailers that require the use of drive type trailers with active front wheels. When designing such trailers there were difficulties in determining the transmission ratio and transmission scheme, especially in the case of using tractors with different passport interpretations of a synchronous operating mode with the power take-off shaft (PTS). The article presents the method of calculating the transmission ratio of the drive type trailers depending on the parameters of a synchronous operating mode the power take-off shaft of the tractor. The principle kinematic scheme of driving trailers is justified. Recommendations on selection of transmission units are given.

Highlights

  • The development of peat industry in all countries of the world follows the economic and ecological factors, which are availability, low cost and the possibility of multi-use peat [1, 2]

  • Methods for calculating the transmission ratio of driving trailers, shown in the article just for traffic conditions of wheels of tractor and trailer with the same deformation and slippage when wheels dynamic radius tractor and trailer are equal. From this it follows that the outer diameter of the wheels of trailer should be selected as close as possible to the outer diameter of tractor’ wheels

  • Since radial deformation depends on the vertical load and air pressure in the tires, modifying these parameters at the design stage, we can achieve the same skidding, and, the same dynamic radius

Summary

Introduction

The development of peat industry in all countries of the world follows the economic and ecological factors, which are availability, low cost and the possibility of multi-use peat [1, 2]. Build transport module peat company should rely primarily on their own strength and technique involved at both the harvesting and transport operations [4] Such techniques are wheeled tractors with trailers. The increasing capacity of the body leads to an increase in the load on the wheel running, resulting in losing permeability by the tractor transport unit [6, 7]. This is true for peat mining, and for other conditions when operating the various caterpillar and wheel technics on soils with low bearing capacity, for example in the agricultural and forest sector [8, 9]
