ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR TRIMMING THE REMNANTS OF THE HILLOCK AND THE DESIGNS OF THE CUTTER HEADS OF ROOT CROPS

Reducing the damage and loss of root crops during their mechanized harvesting, or performing the operation of trimming the remnants of the root from the heads of the roots, is an urgent scientific task. Improving the quality of root crop harvesting is achieved through the development and justification of the parameters of improved designs of trimmings of the remains of the boar from the heads of the roots. In the article, on the basis of the analysis of methods of removal of the remains of a hillock from the heads of root crops and working bodies, an improved design of the cutter of the heads of roots is proposed, which is made on the principle of "passive copier-active knife". Key words: module for harvesting the swill, rotary swath cutter, passive copier, active knife, parallelogram suspension, compensator.
