Theoretical analysis of cotton movement in cleaning equipment

Abstract

The article explores the supply of cotton in the cleaning of cotton from fine impurities, the laws of movement under the influence of the pile cylinder, the possibility of increasing the level of friction. The main conditions of the movement of cotton in continuous components, the shortcomings of the influencing factors are analyzed. Using the experience of foreign countries, a cotton transfer option was proposed, which allows for additional grinding and disassembly in pile cylinders. The focus of the work was to determine at what angle the cylinder pegs would strike them so that the cotton pieces could move along the required trajectory. Experiments were carried out using the obtained solutions and the developed algorithm, the results of which were analyzed and appropriate conclusions were developed. During the experiments, taking into account the geometric dimensions of the cotton pieces, the effect of their values on the movement parameters was determined. The obtained results allow to determine the coordinates of the mutual position of the pile cylinders with the supply rollers.
