THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOADING-DISTRIBUTING MODULE ON THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WHEELED TRANSPORT UNIT

Abstract

The Amur Region is the main agricultural region of the Far Eastern Federal District. In terms of the volume of grown products (soybeans), the Amur Region accounts for over 40 percent of the total gross harvest of the Russian Federation. (Research purpose) The research purpose is to study the effect of the loading-distributing module on the technological characteristics of a wheeled transport unit. (Materials and methods) The main task when harvesting crops in conditions of the weak bearing capacity of soil is to timely transport the resulting crop out of the fields. The weak bearing capacity of the soil is because of that during the harvesting period (August-October) there is greatest amount of precipitation falls. One of the ways to solve this problem is to increase the traction properties of the energy vehicle due to the rational distribution of the coupling weight with an increase in the support area of its propellers. (Results and discussion) The article presents the results of improving the traction properties of a road train as part of a KamAZ-4350 car and a 2PN-4M trailer due to the use of a loading module for a truck and the installation of arched tires. These make it possible to expand the technological characteristics of the unit in cross-country ability and reduce the anthropogenic impact of its running system on the fertile soil layer in motion. The proposed method makes it possible to increase the increasing of power and traction characteristics of the propulsion by 12-14 percent compared to the serial KAMAZ-4350 on arched tires. (Conclusions) An increase in the efficiency of transport and technological support of the harvesting process is possible by increasing the traction properties of the car due to the redistribution of the coupling weight in the system of the transport unit, directly between the trailer and the car.
