A novel cotton cleaning section design with innovative branched gears
Abstract
The purpose is to create an effective design diagram for a small trash cotton cleaning machine and an improved diagram of the drive mechanism of a large and small trash cotton cleaning machine. The results of comprehensive experiments on the design of a cleaning machine with a new drive mechanism arrangement are presented. This article presents the results of production testing of the proposed design of a cotton filter with a new drive mechanism arrangement, including a variable gear ratio (VGR) belt drive. Comparative indicators are presented regarding batch cotton cleaning machines. Production testing shows that the working parts of the modernized unit are connected to each other when changing the angular velocity at appropriate intervals compared to the existing cleaning unit, power consumption is reduced by 3 .7 kW; cleaning efficiency increased by 7.7%; The quantity of clean cotton decreased by 0.08%; Cotton slaughter was abolished.
