Abstract
Belt conveyors are essential in coal mining production, but indentation resistance accounts for over 50% of energy consumption. To address this, our team developed a wheel-rail type conveyor that replaces traditional idlers with trolley walking structures. Through integrated theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental validation, the effects of belt speed, trolley distance, rail gap width, and rail height differential on longitudinal vibration characteristics were systematically investigated. Vibration acceleration increases by about 30% with belt speed rises from 1 m/s to 2 m/s. Increasing trolley distance from a baseline of 2 m raises vibration acceleration. Rail gap traversal induces 3.5-fold amplitude elevation compared to flat rail segments. Rail height differential emerges as the predominant factor, exhibiting positive correlation with vibration acceleration. The trends observed in the numerical simulation data align well with those from experimental tests. The research provides valuable insights for optimizing wheel-rail conveyors, addressing energy consumption issues, and improving operational efficiency.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.
JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.
