- Summary:
- The trace of rotavator blade is trochoidal path which dependsboth on tractor forward speed and rotational speed of rotavator.Since this path plays an important role in Pulverization, hencepulverization also depends on both factors. In present days system,Rotavator an active tillage implements drawn by tractor is operatedby drivers experience and driver set up the speed by throttling thetractor to reach the rated 540 PTO RPM mark in instrumentationcluster. Thus, there is no indication system available to farmer/Tractor driver to operate the tractor connected rotavator atoptimal forward tractor speed and rotational speed of rotavator.Thus, leading to decrease in field quality and performance. Thisproblem statement was taken up in this research and an indicativesystem was developed to indicate the optimal region of rotavatoroperation which depends on forward speed of tractor and rotationalspeed of rotavator for different soil conditions namely soft,medium and hard to be selected by farmer by defining a kinematicparameter( Ratio of both speeds) and displayed the optimum zone onthe Mobile App. Hall effect speed sensors were used to calculatethe speed and controller processes both the speeds to define thekinematic parameter. The system developed was validated and testedwhich gave 10% increase in field quality and performance comparedto present day operated rotavators concluding the significance offorward speed of tractor and peripheral speed of rotavator forbetter field performance.
