Abstract

This work is dedicated to studying the influence of the design features of the elliptical drum of a vertical-spindle cotton picker machine on the efficiency of the spindles. The interaction of individual pressing sectors of the new drum with cotton bushes in the working gap of the cotton picker is investigated. The "GeoGebra" dynamic mathematics software, which is open-source, was used to simulate the movement of the spindles and the pressing sectors of the elliptical drum. The software allows virtual manipulation of the geometric dimensions of the drum's structural elements. By simulating the movement of the spindles and the pressing sectors of the elliptical drum, a comparison was made of the impact characteristics on the cotton bushes by the spindles and the pressing sectors of both the elliptical and standard drums. A computer graphical method was developed to assess the effectiveness of the pressing sector's impact on the cotton bushes as they are introduced into the working chamber. It was found that by controlling the geometric parameters of the pressing sector and other dimensions of the elliptical drum, the bush-guiding capability of the vertical-spindle cotton picker machine can be significantly improved.
