CONSTRUCTIVE TECHNOLOGICAL METHODS OF PROVIDING THE RELIABILITY OF SMALL AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT
Abstract
The technique of working out of small-sized agricultural machinery on the manufacturability of the construction in terms of reliability, durability and simplicity of its work is presented. The criteria for evaluating the manufacturability of small-sized agricultural machinery are established. Effective methods of designing and constructing machines are shown. There are a number of different quantitative, technological and economic indicators of manufacturability of machine designs. Indicators of the distribution of parts included in the machine, by purpose, continuity, unification, accuracy, materials used and the degree of their use, the degree of technological complexity of parts, the complexity of assembly operations, complexity and cost of the product. It has been found that it is advisable to assemble machines with the smallest possible breakdown into separate assembly units, while some assembly work may be permitted during assembly if the manufacture of interchangeable parts is difficult. The layout of the machine must ensure its breakdown into separate units and units that allow parallel assembly, adjustment and testing, and the overall assembly to be carried out on the flow.
