Dynamic response analysis of scraper conveyor under the condition of chain broken

Abstract

In view of the fact that the traditional study of the chain breaking condition of the scraper conveyor only considers the case of two-way simultaneous chain breaking, this paper mainly studies the single-side chain breaking condition and its influence on the longitudinal vibration and swing vibration characteristics of the scraper chain system. Using the tension calculation principle of the point-by-point tension method, each section of the scraper in the study area is taken as a unit. A coupled dynamic model of longitudinal and oscillating vibration of scrapers is established and connected with Voigt model. The dynamic response laws of the longitudinal and oscillating vibration of the scraper before and after the chain fracture under different transportation conditions are numerically simulated. The calculation results show that when there is material behind the broken chain, the longitudinal tension of the chain and the oscillating vibration of the scraper reach the maximum value, and the chain speed fluctuation reaches 543.1 % compared with the normal operating conditions. Only when there is material in front of the broken chain, the longitudinal tension mutation of the chain and the oscillating vibration value of the scraper are weaker than those of the previous working conditions. When there are materials at the front and back of the broken chain, the sudden change of the longitudinal tension of the chain and the oscillating vibration value of the scraper are the minimum, but they also reach twice the normal working condition, and the chain speed fluctuation reached 194.4 %. The research results of this paper provide a theoretical basis for grasping the operation status of the scraper conveyor in the coal mine and predicting the life of the scraper conveyor.
