Integrated approach methodology for evaluating the feed rate of mechanical disk hopper-feeding devices

Abstract

Abstract The paper considers the methodology of the proposed integrated approach to mathematical modeling of the actual feed rate of various designs of mechanical disk pocket hopper-feeding devices. The approach allows us to estimate the actual feed rate of the device for various types of axisymmetric parts of the shape of rotation bodies with sufficient accuracy for practice at the design stage. The mathematical model of feed rate takes into account the probability of gripping axisymmetric parts of the shape of rotation bodies with different geometric parameters, as well as the design and kinematic parameters of feeding devices.
