VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF TRACTOR MOUNTED HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
In Due to increase of height of horiticultural crops it is difficult to harvesting and pruning. Some equipments & hand tools are available in market for harvesting and pruning, but those tools are non-useful for harvesting due to untrained labour, taller trees & high cost of equipment. Some mechanical equipments & machines are available in market for this purpose but this equipments & machines are very costly and require large space for holding hence it is very difficult to harvesting pruning of horticultural crops. Some skills are required for labours to climb on trees by using this the available equipment hence to overcome & reduce this problem Tractor Mounted Hydraulic Elevator (TMHE) power by tractor PTO was tested for the mechanical harvesting and pruning of crops using digital load cell, Vibration meter, and digital Technometer for elevator stability study and pruner engine RPM measurements while in branch cutting respectively. The testing and performance of the above machine was carried out on various crops at Dr. BalasahebSawantKokanKrishi, Vidyapeeth. Performance of various machine ws tested for various varieties of crops. The study of vibration measurement has been done using vibration meter. The vibrations of harvesting bucket are measured during rising and lowering action of harvesting bucket. Also the frequency analysis of elevator upper arm was studied by using theoretical methods. The study shows that, the minimum vibration acceleration and velocity are observed at 5-meter height. The field testing of Tractor Mounted Hydraulic Elevator was conducted on Mango orchard at horticulture department, Dr. BSKKV, Dapoli, for different varieties. The average weight of fruits harvested per hour using Tractor Mounted Hydraulic Elevator was 58.84 kg/hr.
