Design features of the working bodies of the harvester for harvesting melons and gourds

Abstract

The research is aimed at the problems of the technological process of harvesting the fruits of melons, determining the current state of saturation with melons in the Volgograd region and the equipment of technical means intended for their harvesting. The purpose and objectives of the study are determined depending on the requirements for the design of agricultural machines. The design features of the working bodies of the harvester for harvesting melons and gourds are considered and described in detail in accordance with the requirements for harvesting them. As a result of the theoretical studies, the optimal performance indicators of the working bodies of the combine have been identified and their data have been presented, which will make it possible to create a high-quality design of the combine.
