JUSTIFICATION OPTIMAL POSITION PICKER STRAWBERRIES DURING OP ERATION
One of the factors restraining the development of its own industrial production of berry crops in the country is the dominance of manual labor in the harvesting operations, including on such a culture as strawberries. A manual way to harvest strawberries is to separation the workman of ripe berries from the bush, packing them in tare and subsequent accumulation. This is a reusable way of harvesting berries, allows you to harvest berries as they mature. But prolonged manual picking of berries on industrial plantations leads during the working day to unacceptable physical overloads of the body and is exacerbated by the need simultaneously with the collection of berries constantly move around the plantation and fills the empty containers berries. Therefore, in order to create more comfortable working conditions for manual harvesting of strawberries, scientists and specialists in the past 25-30 years, along with complex machines, have created simplified technical means. The article presents the analysis positions of the berry picker when using platforms, the calculation of the energy cost during work, found a collection area during operation, found the area which develops picker at work.
