Numerical simulation analysis of coal rock crushed by disc cutter based on ABAQUS

Abstract

In view of the lack of research on the mechanism of disc cutter cutting coal rock during the tunnelling process of coal mine rescue tunnel equipment, the ABAQUS software was used to establish the finite element model of single disc cutter crushing coal rock, and the influence of penetration and cutting speed on the rock breaking force during the process of disc cutter crushing coal rock was analyzed. The results show that the average cutting force increases linearly with the penetration and cutting speed. The maximum vertical force of the disc cutter at a penetration of 5mm is 2.6 times that at a penetration of 2mm. The impact of the disc cutter cutting force at a penetration of 3mm is obvious. The average rolling force at a cutting speed of 0.8 rad/s is twice that of a cutting speed of 0.2 rad/s. The impact of the disc cutter cutting force at a cutting speed of 0.5rad/s is obvious. Comprehensively considering the influence of penetration and cutting speed on the average value and fluctuation range of disc cutter cutting force, choosing a moderately large penetration and a large cutting speed parameter combination will help to achieve rapid and safe coal mine emergency rescue tunnelling. The method in this paper provides a basis for the optimization of the cutterhead tunnelling parameters during coal rock cutting.
