Selection of the layout scheme and power calculation of a self-propelled flax ribbon wrapper on an electric drive

The article provides a brief historical analysis of the development of electrified agricultural units. The relevance of the consideration of this issue is shown. The constructive scheme of the projected self-propelled electrified wrapper for flax ribbons is given. A block diagram has been developed showing the interaction between the electrical and mechanical elements of the flax wrapper. A list of these elements is provided. The energy calculation of the self-propelled unit was carried out. It has been established that the estimated power required for the movement of a self-propelled electrified flax ribbon wrapper is 1.33 kW. The idling power of the working bodies is 0.88kW, and the estimated working power is 1.99kW. Thus, the total design capacity of the wrapper is 3.32kW.
