Determination of the optimal amplitude of vibration behavior in the potato sorting machine

Abstract

This article is about potato feather sorting machines. There are mechanical and automatic types of potato sorting machines. In turn, there are types of mechanical potato sorting machines in drum, conveyor, roller and sieve types. While automatic sorting machines have laser, ultrotovushli, rengenli, video visual, spectral and optical intelligent sorting machines. Among mechanical sorting machines, vibration sieve-type devices stand out, with simplicity of construction and high performance. Vibration movement in the sorting machine of potato tugs, the working device of which is sieve type, accelerates the sorting process. However, it is important to determine the optimal values of the vibration parameters. The correct selection of its values ensures that the potato feathers are clearly sorted according to the degree of damage and external dimensions on the working surface. This is accompanied by a high level of work productivity and a decrease in the time of sorting. Therefore, this article presents a brief description of the determination of the optimal amplitude of the vibrational working surface through the differential equations of the machine developed for sorting potato feathers and the results of their analysis. Graphs of differential equations are generated automatically by writing codes in the “Maple 2017” program.
