The article presents a variant of improving the design of the working equipment of a single-bucket excavator. The proposed technical solution allows the development and sampling of solid and frozen soil without changing the working equipment from the bucket to the hydraulic hammer. The result is achieved by installing two hydraulic hammers on the front part of the bucket. Presents calculations of the hydraulic system of the excavator and hydraulic hammers, allowing to confirm the performance of the proposed solution. The methodology of technological operations is determined taking into account the use of the proposed technical solution.
The article addresses a current issue – reducing the vibration load at the operator’s workplace in the utility machine with respect to the use of chassis elements as vibroprotection element. The results of studies aimed at determining the effect of tires dynamic characteristics on the vibration load of the operator’s workplace are presented. A computational scheme designed to conduct experimental research has been shown. Correlation between tire rigidity and air pressure in the tire, as well as correlation between tire service life and tire pressure have been revealed. Results of studies aimed at determining relations between the dynamics of mean-square values of vibration acceleration of the frame, the floor and the operator’s seat, and the rigidity coefficients of utility machine tires. Conclusions have been made as to the relevance of using chassis elements as vibroprotection element at the operator’s workplace in the utility machine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
