Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2017, Vol 41, Issue 1
Abstract
In view of the size and the change of the load force of the conveyor belt at the turning point of the plane turning belt conveyor, the influencing factors of the stress of the conveyor belt at the turning point of the plane turning belt conveyor under full load condition are analyzed. A three dimensional model of the turning point of the plane turning belt conveyor is established. Combined with previous research experience, the formula for calculating the load is put forward. Based on discrete element method, multiple sets of internal curve elevation angle and the belt speed are used for dynamic simulation analysis. The results showed that the middle of conveyor belt is the most stressed, the lateral force second, the force of the inner conveyor belt is the least. Outside force increases with the increase of speed; there is no change in the middle band; the inner band force decreases with the increase of the velocity. Outside force decreases with the decrease of the inclination angle. With the change of the inclination angle, the force is basically unchanged. With the decreasing of the inclination angle, the force increases gradually. By optimizing the design parameters of the plane turning belt conveyor, the force of belt is reduced, and the service life of belt is improved.<br/><br/>
