Time factor research of tires tread wear for selfpropelled scraper

Abstract

Abstract. Problem. The publications analysis about the self-propelled scrapers use on sites of road and reclamation construction is showed that during the performance of working operations there is unacceptable wear of the tires tread as a result of the intensive sliding on the support surface. Over time, the pneumatic tires wear leads to decrease on the durability of the wheeled mover or tire failure as a result of the carcass rupture and the tread delamination. In its turn, the time factor of the tire tread wear depends directly on the duration of the scraper operating cycle, which implements the traction and transport modes. Goal. The life time increasing of the wheeled mover for the self-propelled scraper by reducing the tire tread wear. Methodology. Analytical methods for interaction process research of the pneumatic tires with support surface are used. Mathematical modeling methods were used to determine the time factor of the tire tread wear during scraping. Results. Dependencies for determining the duration of operating cycle components according to the elliptical scheme of scraping organization are presented. Based on the proposed mathematical model, such as takes into account the force, speed and time factors, the fractions of tire tread wear are determined by the components of the scraper operating cycle, which including its maneuvering in the face. It was found that most often the tire tread wear occurs when moving of the soil-loaded scraper. The presented calculation results of the tire life time according to the proposed method are showed the sufficient convergencewith the scraper performance attributes, taking into account only the abrasive mechanism of the tire tread wear. Originality. To determine the life time of pneumatic tires for the self-propelled scraper, as the most fully combined characteristic features of the traction and transport machine, it is proposed to use the preferred mechanism of tire tread wear – abrasive, as well as the deformation models of the pneumatic tire and support surface. Practical value. The use of the proposed method for calculating the tire tread wear will to make the life time forecast of the wheeled mover for the self-propelled scraper at the design stage and to determine the reasonable needs for material and technical means of this machine operation.
