摘要

Wear-related failure of conical picks in coal mining significantly affects cutting efficiency, making the optimization of working angles essential for performance improvement. In this study, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) is employed to systematically investigate the coupled effects of the elevation angle (40°–55°) and chamfer angle (10°–30°) on pick performance. An innovative parameter, termed the spin quantity (Δ), is introduced to quantitatively characterize the self-rotation behavior of conical picks. The results show that increasing the elevation angle or decreasing the chamfer angle effectively reduces the cutting force, with the minimum cutting force obtained at an elevation angle of 55° and a chamfer angle of 20°. The chamfer angle has a significant influence on self-rotation performance, and the maximum spin quantity (Δ) is observed at an elevation angle of 45° and a chamfer angle of 30°. In addition, wear decreases as the elevation angle increases, reaching a minimum at an elevation angle of 50° and a chamfer angle of 20°. These findings elucidate the coupling relationships among cutting force, self-rotation performance, and wear, and provide a theoretical basis for selecting optimal working angles for conical picks.
