Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2016, Vol 37, Issue 1
Abstract
In order to release the lateral force of pipe conveyor belt in vertical transportation, the thesis had a study of the lateral force of the conveyor belt. By making use of Janssen Principles and fractal theory, based on reasonable simplification, the author established a mathematical model of the lateral force in vertical transportation, and with the research foundation of the pipe belt conveyor for underground transportation, through solution analysis, the author found out that the change of material diameter would lead to nonlinear variation of the lateral force of the conveyor belt. Under the circumstances of different material diameter, discrete element method was adopted to simulate the lateral force of the conveyor belt, thus working out the distribution curve chart of the lateral force. To verify the reliability of the theory, the author built an experimental platform for pipe conveyor belt in vertical transportation, and experimented with five groups of materials in different diameter, working out the strain of lateral force of the characteristic conveyor belt; by comparing the theoretical result, the simulation result and the experimental result, it showed that the solution to relieving lateral force through optimization selection of material diameter put forward in this thesis was reasonable and effective. It provides theoretical reference for the design of pipe belt conveyor.<br/><br/>
