MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE METAL-CONSTRUCTION LINEAR CONVEYOR MASS WITH SUSPENDED GEARBOXING TAPE

Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to the topical issue, which is related to the optimization of the linear part of the conveyor with a hanging load-carrying belt. In the work briefly reflect the main scientific and design developments of this conveyor type. Particular attention is paid to the use of techniques to reduce the weight of the metal structure of the conveyor linear part with hanging belt.Methods and materials. The authors have developed and in detail presented mathematical model of the metal structure of the conveyor linear part with a hanging load-carrying belt, consisting of the target function and the systems of limitations, which realizes modern approaches at the metal structure design, thereby reducing the weight of the conveyor as a whole.Results. According to the results of the research, the values of stresses and deflections arising in a metal construction of linear section of various design depend on the different productivity of the conveyor with hanging belt. The procedure of optimum design of the metal linear structure with various standard size of the conveyor with hanging belt performed for the minimum and maximum value of productivity is carried out. The authors present the results of optimal cross-sections rods and diagonal rods of the conveyor metal structures.The discussion and conclusion. It is established that the application of modern approaches, in particular optimization, to design of the conveyor metal construction allows to improve conveyor mass-dimensional indicators.
