Optimization Research of Mine Skip Quantitative Loading System

Abstract

The size and change of the impact load of coal material applied to the skip are studied aiming at the quantitative loading system of the skip. Based on the impulse theorem and with reasonable assumption, the calculation formula for impact force of the coal material is deducted and the impact characteristic of the impact force to the quantitative loading system of the skip is analyzed. The process of the coal material falling from quantitative conveyor to skip is analyzed with the discrete element simulation so that the distributed load of the impact force of the coal material at the skip bottom is obtained. The results show that the coal material produces large impact force (687 N) to the skip bottom the moment the coal material falls into the skip, and then the force decreases rapidly to about 245 N and increases gradually during the fluctuation; the impact force applied to the skip bottom increases with the increase of the coal transportation speed and the size of discharging port of the chute, but it is not in direct proportional relationship. The simulation results are basically the same as the experimental results. Finally the optimization parameters of the speed of quantitative conveyor and the size of the discharging port of the chute are searched for so as to improve the capacity of the conveyor and impact load assumed by the skip bottom.
