Abstract
Relevance. In recent years, in many countries of the world, in particular, in Denmark, Belgium, Canada, China, Japan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, as well as in our country, an increased interest in the mechanization of the cabbage harvesting process was shown. Harvesting using machines reduces labor costs by more than 3 times. At the same time, due to the introduction of traditional mechanized technologies for harvesting cabbage, there was a problem associated with maintaining the original quality of products, since when the heads are shipped to the body of the vehicle in bulk, as well as in the process of laying for storage, their mechanical damage occurs.Methods. In this regard, the machine cleaning of cabbages with manual careful laying of cabbages in containers installed in the body of the accompanying vehicle using a belt conveying device is proposed and justified. The process of mechanized harvesting of cabbage according to the proposed technology will be stable while ensuring the necessary intensity of shifting the heads from the web of the belt conveying device into containers. In this regard, in order to optimize the technological parameters, the workflow of the proposed cabbage harvesting method is modeled using elements of the queuing theory.Results. As a result, the number of maintenance personnel necessary for the smooth execution of the cabbage harvesting workflow according to the described technology has been established.Keywords
