Abstract

The structure of coal shearer drums significantly influences the transportation efficiency and load fluctuations of thin seam coal shearers. To enhance drum efficiency and reliability, this paper proposes a collaborative optimization method based on an improved NSGA-II algorithm. Initially, using the Discrete Element Method (DEM), we analyze the impact of helical blades on transportation performance and investigate novel designs for two types of coal-guiding drums. To optimize dynamic performance, concepts like spatial density and adaptive radius are introduced, proposing an NSGA-II enhancement strategy based on spatial density for the collaborative optimization of drum structure and motion parameters. Finally, the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method is used for subjective evaluation to select the optimal solution. Research findings demonstrate that this collaborative optimization method significantly enhances drum reliability, reducing load fluctuations by 46.34%, increasing transportation efficiency by 7.06%, and decreasing transportation power by 27.31%.
