Dynamics of the movement of the ripping tool for surface tillage

The study aims to analyze the stability of the movement of the ripper tool for surface tillage. The basic principles and methods of classical mechanics, mathematical analysis, and statistics were used in this study. The dynamics of the movement of a ripper tool for surface tillage are considered, depending on the forces acting on it and its design parameters. A computational dynamic model is developed, and an equation describing the angular oscillations of the longitudinal links of the parallelogram ripper mechanism is obtained. It is established that the uniformity of the depth of the cultivator depends on the amplitude and frequency changes of the components of the disturbing force, physical and mechanical properties of the soil, the moment of inertia of the Ripper, the length of the longitudinal links parallelogram mechanism, the forces of the pre-tension pressure springs, and its stiffness. It is established that the required uniformity of the depth of tillage can be achieved by selecting the pre-tension force of the pressure spring and its rigidity. Theoretical and experimental studies have established that the required uniformity of the processing depth with minimal energy consumption of the soil is provided with a pre-tension force of the pressure spring of the ripper attachment mechanism of 350 n, spring stiffness of 40 n / cm, and a speed of 2.0 m/s
