Abstract
Vibration conveyors are technical systems which generate a stream of materials on basis of vibrations. The vibrations lead to continuous change between acceleration forces and friction. In the practical operation high conveying speeds shall be accomplished with a defined use of the driving force. In this article a simulation model in the software SimulationX is introduced which utilities basic mechanical correlations to calculate the conveying speed. With the help of the presented model influences of vibration movement curve on the conveying speed can be portrayed and analyzed.
Highlights
Vibration conveyors have a long history of use and are regarded as sturdy, hardwearing and reliable conveyor systems
The simulation model presented in this article is based on the fundamental mechanical relations between the goods and the conveyor organ that are valid for most of the practical applications of vibration conveyors
Various assumptions are made when describing the conveyor movement using the equations of motion for the x-axis and y-axis
Summary
Vibration conveyors have a long history of use and are regarded as sturdy, hardwearing and reliable conveyor systems. They are utilized in the transport of separate goods as well as bulk goods in all thinkable areas of application. In this article the software SimulationX is used to execute the simulation tasks. Interactions between modules can be defined and units of modules can be created by linking individual elements. This way the user has a clear model structure which allows to increase the model depth step by step. A comparison with existing calculation models is discussed in this article
