Study on the process automatization of wetting (moistening) the seeds using a step motor

Researcher Urishev was the first to deal with the issues of mechanization of the process of moistening cotton seeds in the Republic of Uzbekistan. He also developed many devices and mechanisms and proposed methods for conducting experiments on moistening pubescent cotton seeds. However, his works did not address the issues of automation of laboratory facilities. And also Urishev used chemicals for seed treatment, which is harmful to humans and the environment. The creation of an environmentally friendly technology for presowing disinfection of cotton seeds is an urgent task for cotton growing. Research in this field of science has led to the use of electrical energy as the most harmless and cheap means. Along with researchers studying electrical technology in the Republic of Uzbekistan, under the guidance of Professor Mukhammadiev, research work has been carried out since 1985: to develop a non-chemical technology for growing cotton using a spark discharge current, an alternating electric current of industrial frequency. In this article, the possibilities of automating the process of lifting and lowering a laboratory test mechanism for studying the friction of dry and moist cotton seeds proposed by Urishev with the help of a stepper motor were studied in order to automate the process of laboratory experiments. We also obtained equations for finding the resulting force.
