Dobór układów jezdnych dla agregatów rolniczych uwzględniający aspekty ekologiczne

Przeprowadzono badania określające wzajemne oddziaływanie różnych układów jezdnych na glebach różnego typu i o różnej strukturze. Metodyka badań obejmowała wyznaczenie zależności określających prawidłowości rozkładu ciśnień w kontakcie "układ napędowy-gleba", głębokości kolein h, ugniecenie gleby w koleinie ρ 0, rozkład ugniecenia gleby na różnej głębokości ρ x i głębokość ugniecionej warstwy gleby xh. Analiza wyników badań pozwoliła na wskazanie najlepszego typu układu jezdnego dla konkretnej gleby i opracowanie zaleceń pomocnych przy zestawianiu agregatów ciągnikowych, które mniej ugniatają glebę.

Agroecolgical strategy for choosing traction systems for mobile agricultural machinery understands creation of a flexible system consisting of design, technological and operational units which allow to adapt a tractor/implement system to varying operation requirements and to provide ecologically sound contact with soil. With the above considerations in view, the process of interaction of different running systems with soils of different type was explored. The procedure included definition of (a) pressure distribution pattern in "propulsive device-soil" contact area σ , (b) track depth value h, (c) track soil densities ρ 0, soil density distribution at a certain depth ρ x, (d) height of compacted layer xh. Then the results were analyzed and an efficient propulsive device for particular soil type was chosen. Research substantiated the recommendations for forming tractor/implement systems with the reduced soil compaction effect. To lower compaction impact of tilling tractor/ implement systems it is expedient to employ caterpillars or multi-axis wheels. When using tractors with narrow caterpillar tracks, the stress concentrates in the topsoil. Therefore when forming tilling tractor/implement systems, caterpillar tractors and traction devices with multi-axis wheel system should be preferred as contrasted to twin-wheel tractors. When forming sowing tractor/ implement systems, it should be taken into account that after presowing cultivation the soil has a high energy absorption, or high distributive, ability (it has major values of stress distribution coefficient). In this case the vertical load is assumed primarily by the topsoil. The basic task for the running systems of sowing tractor/implement systems is to reduce pressure on soil. Besides, test-proved considerable increase in track depth and soil densities at repeated wheel passes should be also taken into consideration. Therefore, in this case, with the aim of soil pressure reduction it is recommended to augment the size of wheels, instead of having more wheels following each other along the same track. Thus dual tires or big-sized tires, especially with high elasticity, are recommended for tractors and seeders when creating sowing tractor/implement systems.
