Results of experiments to determine the traction resistance of a disk working body

Technical means used for soil surface treatment do not fully meet the technical requirements for high-quality soil treatment. In order to solve this problem more effectively, various rotary machines with working bodies that perform complex spatial movement are currently being developed. But, as practice has shown, that the work of these tools is unstable and that the cultivation of the soil is carried out unevenly. To eliminate these disadvantages, we developed a tillage tool with ellipsoid disk working bodies mounted on the shaft at a strictly defined angle [7, 13]. The analysis showed that to ensure the efficiency of work and reduce the traction resistance of tools for tillage, it is necessary that the angle of installation of the ellipsoid disk abount rotation axis is also optimal. Here are the results of experimental studies of the traction resistance of disks conducted in the conditions of a soil channel. The mathematical model of the technological process was obtained by processing experimental data in the computer program “Statistica” and presented in the form of multiple regression equations in encoded and real physical quantities. The response surfaces are constructed based on the obtained equations.
