Automaton for acorns scarification - kinematic and strength calculations of selected components

Abstract

The computer model of the scarification machine was created at the Industrial Institute of Agricultural Engineering in Poznań with the participation of employees from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow and the University of Agriculture in Krakow. The automaton is the result of the project, which aim was to develop, build and test an automatic device used to carry out the scarification of oak seeds for later shortening and balancing of germination period and elimination of sick and spoiled seeds. The paper presents the results of kinematic and strength analyzes of selected elements of the research model of a scarifying machine - the course of the peripheral speed, acceleration, torque and stress generated during the rotation of the arm.
