The study was done to examine a pipe conveyor. One of the main players in pipe conveyors and in any other conveyors is the belt and the rollers and their contacts. Of course, there are other parameters that can greatly influence the performance of the conveyor, but most of the time, the failure is associated with the rollers and the belt. Therefore, the work shifts its focus on contacts between the belt and the rollers. One section of a pipe belt conveyor was built in SolidWorks and similarly analyzed with the built-in motion analysis tool. 10 simulations were conducted with varying acting force and the flow of the pipe. The results illustrated that the value of acting force can have different influences. For instance, with a higher value of acting force, the reaction force was higher with the front rollers. The deduction of acting force shifted the contacts to the rear rollers. Placement and the number of rollers can also influence the results. Similarly, the flow of the belt can have a minor effect on the results too.

摘要

The study was done to examine a pipe conveyor. One of the main players in pipe conveyors and in any other conveyors is the belt and the rollers and their contacts. Of course, there are other parameters that can greatly influence the performance of the conveyor, but most of the time, the failure is associated with the rollers and the belt. Therefore, the work shifts its focus on contacts between the belt and the rollers. One section of a pipe belt conveyor was built in SolidWorks and similarly analyzed with the built-in motion analysis tool. 10 simulations were conducted with varying acting force and the flow of the pipe. The results illustrated that the value of acting force can have different influences. For instance, with a higher value of acting force, the reaction force was higher with the front rollers. The deduction of acting force shifted the contacts to the rear rollers. Placement and the number of rollers can also influence the results. Similarly, the flow of the belt can have a minor effect on the results too.
