PROBLEMS OF DRIVE MECHANISMS OF TECHNOLOGICAL SECTION OF FIRING AND GRINDING DURING CEMENT PRODUCTION

Abstract

The analysis of conditions of long operation of driving mechanisms of technological sites of firing and grinding at cement production is carried out in the work. Typical variants of mutual arrangement of crown pair elements in case of rectilinear axis of rotation of technological unit body and axial beating of gear ring, as well as variant of mutual arrangement of crown gear elements in case of curved axis of rotation of rotary unit body are considered. A technique for determining the total angle of skew of the teeth of the crown pair, taking into account the errors of manufacture and the relative position of the wheels of the open gear. On the basis of experimental data the dependences of the total skew angle of the teeth of the crown pair as a function of the rotation angle of the gear crown are constructed and the possible range of the total skew angle under different operating conditions of the considered large rotating units is determined. To assess the stress-strain state of the elements of the ring gear mounted on the furnace body, a solid model was created in the software environment Solid Works Simulation. As an example, the dependences of the change in the magnitude of the deformation of the teeth of the toothed crown in the plane of action of a uniformly distributed normal force are determined. Practical recommendations for improving the design of the crown gear pair are offered. Keywords: rotary kilns; mills; crown gear; toothed crown; the angle of skew of the teeth; finite element method
