Description
Based on the previous investigations we have underlined the need to increase fruit and vegetables preservation quality while transporting them from the producer to the consumer at the expense of improving the road transport operation for its intended purpose. We have made a conclusion about the need to develop strategies for maintenance and repair as for the actual technical state at the expense of developing the diagnosis system based on the development of a math model of changing the technical state of the diagnosis object, developing a method of rational set of objects to be diagnosed and determining the technical state optimal control frequency. We have confirmed that the above mentioned is possible when considering the system of technical operation of road transport as an organization-production system and applying the engineering-cybernetic approach to improve this system. We have considered the basic requirements for the efficiency indexes when investigating and improving the operation system that will allow achieving the aim we have had and can be described mathematically. We have made a conclusion about the urgency of the issue we studied and the possibility to develop the efficient operation system of road transport based on the provided criteria

05.20.01 Technologies and means of mechanization of agriculture (technical sciences)
DescriptionThe article considers the possibility of using a potato harvester with an unloading device. The principle of operation of an unloading device based on a potato harvester is presented. The unloading device of the root-harvesting machine allows to prevent damage to tubers by damping the speed and lowering the height of the falling heap due to the use of the unloading gutter equipped with a lifting-lowering mechanism made of two differently inclined flat sections, on the inner surface of which, across the gutter, elastically deformable elements are fixed in the form loop absorbers. A group of authors carried out a comparative assessment of the tests of the basic model of the AVR Kolnag potato harvester Spirit 6200 and its improved experimental version with an unloading rating device. The studies were conducted on the fields of the Danko farm of the Lukhovitsky district, Moscow region in 2018 - 2019. Harvesting was carried out alternately from several fields. According to the data obtained, it was found that the level of damage to potato tubers when using the developed experimental version of the unloading device of the potato harvester is 2.1%, which is lower in comparison with the basic model of the harvester. The obtained results of field studies of the experimental unloading device confirmed the results of previous theoretical calculations and laboratory studies, including the high efficiency of the developed device compared to the serial analogue

RESEARCH OF MODERNIZED BD-4M HAULM SHREDDER WITH ARTICULATED KNIVES
DescriptionIn the general complex of mechanized works when growing potatoes, potato harvesting is one of the main operations. The efficiency of potatoes growing at the farm largely depends on harvest quality and crop retrieval. When harvesting potatoes with potato harvesters their productivity largely depends on the state of potato haulm. In a case of evolved and laid haulm the harvesting machines productivity falls sharply due to working organs clogging and in some cases their work is not possible at all. Therefore, to facilitate the work of potato harvesters it is necessary to remove potato haulm before harvesting. But the process of haulm removing is very laborious, including several operations, such as mowing, raking and transportation, each of which is performed by a separate machine. The appearance of domestically made rotary-type machines like KIR-1.5, UBD-3 and BD-4 at the end of 1950-1960 made it possible to mechanize the harvesting process of potato haulm. But it was noticed in the operation that rotor machines have a number of drawbacks caused by imperfections in the rotor design, its kinematic regimes, lack of balance and some others. Therefore, studies aimed at improving the design of rotary-type machines seem to be very important. To achieve this goal some theoretical and experimental studies and lab and field tests of the modernized four-row shredder have been carried out. When studying methods of mathematical analysis and elements of classical mechanics were used. Some modern methods were applied in the lab and field tests. The modernized haulm shredder BD-4 was tested at JSC “Avangard” in Ryazan district

THE STUDY OF PLANT PARTS EXTRACTING BY THE WORKING BODIES OF THE KKS-1M POTATO HARVESTER
05.20.01 Technologies and means of mechanization of agriculture (technical sciences)
DescriptionPotatoes are cultivated in all parts of the world. In 2019, the Russian Federation ranked third in potato production. Ryazan region has favorable climatic conditions for potato growing. The growth in potato production is constrained by the insufficient provision of small and medium-sized farms with harvesting equipment and storage facilities. For working in small areas and in difficult conditions, simple machines are in demand: potato diggers and single-row potato harvesters. “Gala” variety potatoes are grown using intensive technology in the experimental field of the agrotechnological station of Ryazan State Agrotechnological University. In September 2019, there was a study of the effect of plant parts on the performance indicators of the technological process with a single-row KKS-1M potato harvester with a combined plant-top-removing device. The device consists of top-directing fingers, a top-removing roller and a counter-current finger-type separator. The studies are based on standard and private test methods. The harvester was tested on dark gray forest soils of heavy loamy composition, with a moisture content of 19-21%. Plots were prepared for testing: one with uncleaned tops, one with tops previously removed by BD-4 haulm shredder and one with manually removed tops. In the course of research, a change in the direction of potato stems during the movement of the heap along the working bodies of the potato harvester was determined. It was found that the stems change their direction from transverse to longitudinal. It was established that a combined PLANT-TOP-REMOVING device removes from 75.8% to 88.2% of plant impurities entering the harvester. Studies confirmed the efficiency of KKS-1M combine when harvesting potatoes. According to the generalized results, the loss of tubers was 1.5-4.7%, their damage was 1.7-4.39% and the purity of the tubers in the bunker was 70.3-84.7%. Studies confirmed that the harvesting technology significantly affects the performance of a potato harvester. In severe conditions, pre-harvesting row-spacing loosening can be recommended and the haulm shredder is set to a cutting height of at least 150-180 mm

Description
The effectiveness of disinfection depends on used disinfecting materials for vans, their actions and technological parameters of the installation for applying disinfectants. Hot mist generators provide uniform distribution of particles of disinfectant solution inside the van for transportation of agricultural products. The parameters of the generator of hot mist affecting the quality of disinfection were investigated. Tests were conducted for the vans used to transport agricultural products. For studies we used the vans in operation, which transport farm animals (pigs) and had been disinfected before. Sampling for the research on contamination was performed with pre-prepared swabs. Factorial experiment was planned with using scheme #32, and as a result of significant factors in the univariate experiments we set a temperature of the aerosol disinfectant solution and the duration of surface treatment. As an optimization function we have chosen disinfection efficiency of bodies of vehicles carrying agricultural products. Comparing the results of the experiments on different groups of microorganisms we have found that the optimal mode of hot mist generator with a dispersing device are: the processing time of 1 m2 - 8.5 at the processing temperature - 65º C

THE USE OF FOKKER-PLANCK EQUATION FOR ANALYTICAL REASONING OF MIXING PROCESS IN THE SCREW MIXER
DescriptionIn the current economic situation, the developing of cattle breeding is taking on special significance. It is well known that the effective way to develop cattle breeding is to increase the total number of efficient livestock. The numerous researches show that the high concentrated fodder premix diet gives the highest effect in increasing animal indicators [1, 2, 3]. Traditionally, the premix is a powder mass, which should be added into the mixture of grain components. Exact following the recipe of prepared fodder allows the maximum usage of forage potential of the concentrate components [4, 5, 6, 7]. In view of the foregoing, food enrichers have special actuality in making high concentrated fodder [8, 9, 10]. The usage of differential Fokker – Planck equation systems allows determining the laws of the mixing process of various granulated products. As a result, it becomes possible to optimize the technological process of the mixerenrichers of concentrated feed so that the resulting mixture of feed would have high quality and technological characteristics. At the same time the duration of sewer-enricher’s work and, as a consequence, the energy intensity of the technological process would accept the minimum possible values [11-16]. The given theoretical approach is based on the consideration of the motion of an individual particle contained in a loose grain mass (phase). Concerning this, it is necessary to accept a number of assumptions about making effort to the feed particles, and the velocity vectors of its initial motion should be taken into account. Taking into account the complexity of the mathematically derived differential equation, its literal analytical solution seems very difficult. Therefore, the first step of the solution is aimed at the obtaining the non-stationary diffusion equation of Fokker - Planck and the boundary conditions for isolating the only one solution. The second step of the solution is implemented by the tabulation at the grid-based points, that is, considering the differential equation not at a random point of the area, but only at the grid nodes. Moreover, it is necessary to apply the approximation of the derivatives at each node. The solution of the equation system allows determining the module of the minimum, average, and maximum values of the phase particle motion in different parts of the mixing chamber, respectively. In connection with this, the aim of the study is to substantiate the processes of motion of various types of granulated products

INVESTIGATION OF ADVANCED MEANS TO REDUCE THE DAMAGE OF TUBERS WHILE POTATO MACHINE HARVESTING
DescriptionThe most labor- and energy-intensive part of potato machine production technology is harvesting which is done mainly with harvesters. Modern potato harvesters meet the required efficiency data in favorable conditions. In erroneous conditions (primarily characterized by high or low soil moisture) the efficiency of separating the tubers from impurities is reduced, and the loss and damage of the products increase. This situation is due to the imperfection of the separation device of potato harvesters. Up to 1000 tons of soil per 1 ha is separated at the separation device in the process of harvesting. As a result, the potato harvesters capacity on the whole is determined by their separators output. Nowadays, rod elevators are most widespread and used. One of the main drawbacks is the significant increase of tubers damage in a case of low soil moisture mainly caused by the contact of the tubers pile with the side frames of the harvesting machine. From the above reasoning, one can confirm that the increase of capacity and functioning quality of potato harvesters’ separation devices is an urgent scientific-and-technical task of agriculture
