АUTOMATED MULTIFUNCTIONAL TILLAGE MACHINE
High-quality processing of the soil multifunctional tillage unit depends on well-functioning, coordinated actions of all its working bodies and assemblies [1–3]. The considered design of automated multifunctional tillage unit allows for one pass to conduct meleanie soil in a vertical plane at a depth twice the depth of cultivation, subsurface loosening the soil with the cutting of weeds, additional grinding and harrowing the soil to a width equal to the width of the cultivator. The aim of this work is to improve the quality of soil treatment due to the automatic regulation of the normative depth of soil, and increase yields of cultivated crops [4, 5], which is achieved by the fact that the first and third section of the automated multifunctional soil cultivating unit is provided with a control unit of the actuator of the drive, in-cab guard rods of hydraulic cylinders, on the inner part of which hosted local sources of magnetic field (permanent magnet or electromagnet), closing the control circuit of the actuator, each housing is equipped with two hydraulic cylinders protected reed switches (sensors) placed at a predetermined adjustable distance from each other.Automated system for regulating the depth of tillage is simple to implement and reliable in operation, thanks to which the quality parameters of the unit increase up to 10%.
