EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MALTESE MECHANISM IN THE DRIVE OF A ROTARY TILLER

https://doi.org/10.26897/2687-1149-2021-1-41-45

Abstract

The study focuses on a model of the KFG-3.6 rotary tiller with the Maltese-cross mechanism in the horizontal-axis rotary tiller drive. The continuous-rotation Maltese mechanism of external hooking allows reducing the knife speed when the knife penetrates into the soil. This kind of tillage minimizes erosion of the soil in dry areas. The study purpose is to determine the rational number of fingers, cross-wheel slots and knives on one side of the flange, providing a predetermined quality of soil tillage. It has been established that the Maltese-cross mechanism including a three-finger carrier gear and a cross with six slots is preferable among all the existing options.
