| Description | Object methods have been implemented into the modelling of a belt conveyor. Elements of a conveyor (belt segments, roller idlers, pulleys etc.) are considered as objects. The different types of a chosen object (e.g. an idler) are then considered as descendant objects. Virtual methods for calculation the needed quantities (e.g. minimum allowed belt tension, the resistance to motion, etc.) are applied to a specific object. Using the object modelling method together with the in-house developed set of algorithms for identification of the resistance to motion of a belt conveyor enables to model the new layout of a belt conveyor. The method has been applied for the analysis of standard belt conveyors and the all-new belt conveyor with the innovative bottom to top belt drive transfer layout. Digital experiments have been performed on the basis of the laboratory measurements. Using the object modelling method together with the in-house developed set of algorithms for identification of the resistance to motion of a belt conveyor enables to model the new layout of a belt conveyor. To deal with the problem of calculation any nonstandard conveyors, the algorithms for computation the main resistance derived from the analysis of physical phenomena that occur in the running conveyor have been developed. Increasing capacity requirements combined with demands to convey over long distances result in the need for stronger belts and bigger drive units. As a solution booster conveyors are applied, which bring some disadvantages connected with their more complicated layout. The analysis of the new conveyor results also proved that drive transfer through middle rollers is sufficient for compensation the resistance to motion. Thus a conveyor with drive units located in the bottom belt and advantageous distribution of belt tension can be built. Book Name: Mine Planning and Equipment Selection 2000 |
