Structural Optimization of 60T Electric Mining Vehicle Frame: Finite Element Simulation Model and Analysis

Abstract

Based on the research under the ore loading condition of the electric mine vehicle, this paper measures the physical frame of the 60T electric mine vehicle by means of rangefinder, ruler and drawings, and uses the software CATIA to complete the three-dimensional model of the frame and carriage of the electric mine vehicle, combined with the characteristics of ANSYS workbench software. The structure of the model is simplified. By comprehensively applying relevant knowledge of automobile dynamics, the frame load under full load condition is calculated, and the electric mine vehicle frame is applied by using ANSYS workbench software to simulate and optimize the three conditions of stationary, high-speed driving and turning before the mine car, and the position where the stress concentration and deformation of the frame structure are greatest. By increasing the thickness of the support plate and increasing its stress area, the overall weight was increased by 90.35kg, accounting for 0.9% of the total weight, and the weight increase was very small. Mechanical analysis was carried out on the three working conditions of the optimized frame of the mine car, and the stress was reduced by 25%, 24.1% and 39.2% respectively, effectively eliminating the stress concentration. The actual use of the vehicle can extend the service life of the frame, while improving the economy and stability of the vehicle.
