Working Vibration Analysis of the Bearing Plate on Roadheader Test Bed

Abstract

In order to research the vibration characteristics of the bearing plate on roadheader test bed to bear the roadheaders with different parameters, this paper establishes a multi-body dynamic model for the bear- ing plate to bear the roadheaders by using the theory of multi-body dynamics, and analyzes and determines a mathematical model of loads between the track and the bearing plate. By modal analysis of multi-body dynamic model of the roadheader, this paper extracts the modal shape of the system, and draws a frequency response dia- gram for system vibration, and obtains a larger vibration frequency range. To further explore the vibration char- acteristics, this paper researches the damping of different hydraulic systems, different mass, stiffness parameters and the impact of the roadheader on the vibration of the bearing plate on the test bed by using the computer nu- merical simulation, and obtains the longitudinal vibration characteristics of three test points in the geometric center, namely, cutting head, cantilever and engine body. The research results show that the mass of the road- header on the test bed is increased by 6%, and the longitudinal amplitudes of the cutting head and cantilever are respectively reduced by 37% and 19%; the damping of the hydraulic system of the roadheader is increased by 19%, and the longitudinal amplitudes of the cutting head, cantilever and engine body are respectively reduced by 33%, 23% and 16%; the stiffness of the engine body doubles, and the longitudinal amplitudes of the cutting head and cantilever are respectively reduced by 35.8% and 27%. The results are consistent with the underground in- dustrial test so as to provide a regularity basis for load analysis of the test bed bearing the roadheaders with dif- ferent parameters.
