Abstract
The differential equation, obtained as a result of the theoretical study of the
movement of the bare seed on the surface of the grate of the saw gin, made it
possible to determine the trajectory of the movement of the seed. The rib is
one of the main working bodies of the saw gin. It serves for the free passage of
the saw blades through it into the working chamber, for the withdrawal of the
fiber caught on the saw teeth after separating it from the seed. A number of
studies have been carried out to improve the working elements of the saw gin.
The purpose of the research is to create the possibility of timely withdrawal of
bare seeds from the working chamber of the saw gin by creating a concavity
on the working surface of the grate. The use of the Euler equation for the
movement of bare cotton seed along the grate contour, taking into account its
speed V, density
ρ , pressure P, made it possible to obtain a graph of seed
distribution along the grate contour. An experimental 30-saw gin was devel-
oped and manufactured, the research carried out on it allowed to determine
the rational parameters of new grates, which are recommended for introduc-
tion into production. The dependence of the location of the rectilinear part of
the general contour on the shape of its convexity and concavity is determined.
Based on the above equations, using separate functions, we present the view of
the grate profile in the coordinate system modeled on the MAPLE-17 program.
