Development of the theory of laying a hoisting rope on the drum of a mining hoisting machine

Abstract

For new designs of mine hoisting machines, the development of scientifically-based solutions to increase the rope capacity and reduce the size of the machines is relevant. Based on the theory of laying the rope on a lined cylindrical drum developed by the authors, it is shown that when choosing a groove profile and winding pitch for a non-lined drum, it is necessary to use a geometric rope laying model, and for taking into account the elastic lining, it is necessary to use a physical model of static interaction of a rope with a scallop of the groove. It is recommended to use the U-tilda-groove profile, which will allow a 4.5 % increase in the drum capacity while maintaining the rope’s curvature radius that is permissible under safety rules during its installation.
