Harmonization of maintenance systems for agrorobots and aggregated equipment
The paper presents an analysis of the maintenance system of the powertrain component of the Omni Power agrorobot and the Seed Master seeder, which is aggregated. It is shown that the specified equipment has different maintenance systems, the regulations of which are inconsistent with each other. The results of the calculations of forces in the moving connections of the seeder in the case of the use of carbon- plastic parts are presented. It is indicated that carbon-plastic details have a safety margin coefficient of 4.2 to 6.5 under different operating conditions. The results of field tests of the seeder, equipped with experimental parts developed at the Dnipro State Agrarian and Economic University, are presented. It is shown that the use of such parts does not require maintenance, and their replacement is advisable when the seeder works for 3500 hours. Thus, if the developed parts are used in the equipment that will be aggregated with the Omni Power agrorobot, the harmonization of the maintenance systems of the energy part of the agrorobot structure and equipment will be achieved.
