Technological effectiveness of formation of planting furrow by working body of passive type of orchard planting machine

Abstract

The article presents the results of experimental studies of technological effectiveness of formation of planting furrow by working body of passive type of orchard planting machine. The authors adhered to working hypothesis that to reduce energy consumption and increase the reliability of orchard planting machine in various operating conditions, possibly due to passive type of working body, which provides undercutting the soil layer and raises it to formation of planting furrow, and after placing the seedling in it, it encloses it as before area without additional significant movement or rotation. The article presents the results of study of number of roots hooks of two-year-old apple seedlings when trying to place their root system in interval between the opener model extensions. The authors presented the models of schemes of interaction between plant stems and blade of main blade and optimized the parameters of working surface of barrel blade. The authors established the dependence of additional averaged soil resistance coefficient on planting depth. The article investigates the dependence of resistance force of working body of orchard planting machine on planting depth and soil type. The authors presented the results of technological effectiveness of prototype of working body of orchard planting machine during experimental research and production tests.
