STUDY OF BLACK GARDEN ANT MANDIBULES AS A BIONIC MODEL TO INCREASE THE RELIABILITY OF CULTIVATED PAWS
Abstract
To increase the durability of cultivator paws, it is proposed to use as a bionic model hard-alloy inserts designed on the basis of garden ant mandibles. The surface of the mandibles (mandibles) of the black garden ant Lasius niger was studied using a LEO-1455 VP scanning electron microscope (with attachments) on the basis of the Center for Shared Use of the unique scientific equipment «Belarusian Interuniversity Research Service Center» of the Faculty of Physics of the Belarusian State University.
To select the scheme and location of the bionic carbide inserts on the duckfoot surface, using the FlowVision software package and the finite-volume approach to approximate the equations of the mathematical model, the main parts of the working body that are subject to the greatest sealing loads, and, consequently, more intense abrasive wear, have been determined. The main parameters of hard-alloy inserts have been determined: the pitch and h eight of the teeth, the equation of the generatrix of the toothed surface. The concept of placement of carbide inserts on the quickly wearing parts of the cultivator share is proposed.
