كاربرد منحني هاي كوپلر در دستگاه خردكن جديد

Application of Coupler Curves in a New Designed Chopper

A new device was designed for chopping fodder and for its automation. To feed the fodder into the jaws of the chopper, a coupler curve of a four-bar mechanism was used. The most efficient and time saving method of selection of the coupler curve was identified, accordingly an Atlas of these curves, for the first time in Iran, containing more than 8000 items was produced. The device can be operated manually as well as by an electric motor. It is shown that the performance of the designed machine is 9 times better than the commonly used choppers.
