Realization of combined dynamic motion mode for roller forming unit

Abstract

The combined dynamic mode of the reciprocating motion for a forming trolley is calculated to increase the reliability and durability of the roller forming unit. The criterion action is used as a criterion of the motion mode, which is an integral over time with the sub-integral function that expresses the acceleration «energy» when calculating the combined dynamic motion mode of the forming trolley in the acceleration and braking areas. The change functions of the kinematic characteristics of the forming trolley during its motion from one extreme position to another, which correspond to the combined dynamic mode of the reciprocating motion, are calculated. The displacement and speed of the forming trolley in the acceleration and braking areas change smoothly with this motion mode, without creating significant dynamic loads in the unit, which in turn has a positive effect on its durability. The variation law of the compaction rollers angular velocity is calculated by taking into account the change functions of the forming trolley speed. The roller forming unit design with a drive from the high-torque stepper motor is proposed, which is mounted in the compaction rollers of the forming trolley and provides the combined dynamic mode of reciprocating motion for the forming trolley. The surface quality of the processed concrete mixture is increased, dynamic loads in the drive mechanism elements are reduced, unnecessary destructive loads on the frame construction are disappeared and, accordingly, the reliability and durability of the unit as a whole are increased, when we use the such drive in the unit.
