Experimental Study on the Influence of Inlet and Outlet Pipes on the Explosion Pressure Measurement of Flameproof Enclosures

Abstract:To explore the influence of inlet and outlet pipes on the explosion pressure measurement of flameproof enclosures in a test tank,two different structures of flameproof enclosures were selected as test samples for methane explosion pressure measurement tests.The results showed that the inlet and outlet pipes have a significant impact on the explosion pressure measurement of flameproof enclosures,which is related to the volume,internal structure,position of inlet and outlet ports,and position of pressure measurement points of the flameproof enclosure.The presence of inlet and outlet pipes reduces the maximum explosion pressure and maximum pressure rise rate measured in the test.For flameproof enclosures with small-section connecting structures,the presence of inlet and outlet pipes can accelerate and enhance their pressure overlap.During the explosion pressure measurement of flameproof enclosures,the stop valves of the inlet and outlet pipes should be placed as close as possible to the test sample to avoid the"explosion venting"and"enhanced turbulence"effects of the inlet and outlet pipes.There are many factors affecting the explosion pressure measurement of flameproof equipment,making it necessary to conduct a rational analysis of the test configuration and explosion pressure curve.

Influence of the Spacing Between the Arc-shaped Coal Baffle and the Drum on the Loading Performance of the Coal Winning Machine Drum in Thin Coal Seams

Abstract:The low coal loading rate of the coal winning machine drum in thin coal seams is a significant obstacle to the efficient exploitation of thin coal seam resources.Auxiliary coal loading with an arc-shaped coal baffle is an effective measure to address the low coal loading rate of the coal winning machine drum in thin coal seams.Based on discrete element simulation,a numerical model of coal baffle-assisted drum coal loading was constructed to explore the influence of baffle offset distance on the coal loading rate under different coal loading modes of the drum.The research results showed that there was a monotonic negative correlation between baffle offset distance and coal loading rate.Using a smaller offset distance can effectively improve the drum coal loading rate.However,an excessively small baffle offset distance leads to a significant increase in drum conveying torque,which is prone to induce issues such as drum locked-rotor,recycled coal,and excessive crushing.The optimal offset distance range is between 150 and 225 mm.This conclusion has certain reference significance for improving the coal loading performance of the coal winning machine drum in thin coal seams and provides some guidance for the optimal design of coal baffle parameters.

[Journal Article]WU Weidong, HU Long, ZHANG Dan et al.-Colliery Mechanical & Electrical Technology2025, No.05

Abstract:It is of great significance to analyze the influence of excavation arm structural parameters on the working area in coal mine tunnel excavation.A standard DH method was used to establish the forward kinematics model of the excavation arm,and an improved Monte Carlo method based on Beta distribution was proposed to generate the workspace and working face.This method uses only 20 000 spatial points and achieves higher boundary accuracy than the traditional Monte Carlo method with 100 000 spatial points.Based on the layer cutting method,the boundary space points of the working face were extracted,and the working area was calculated to be 78.86 square meters.By analyzing the influence of the structural parameters of the excavation arm on the working area,it was found that the length of the high-frequency crushing equipment,the amplitude of the crushing bucket teeth,the swing angle of the rotary table,and the pitch angle of the support arm had a significant impact on the working area.By optimizing these parameters,the activity range can be effectively adjusted.

Analysis of Meshing Stress and Structural Optimization of Chain Wheel and Chain of Scraper Conveyor

Abstract:To address the issue of chain wheel failure in coal mine scraper conveyors,the SGB420/40T scraper conveyor chain wheel was taken as the research object.Through theoretical analysis,3D modeling,and finite element simulation,the meshing force of the chain wheel and chain was analyzed.The results showed that there was a stress concentration problem at the chain wheel chain pocket position,with a maximum stress value of 245 MPa,exceeding the material yield strength,indicating that this position was prone to fatigue damage.Based on this,the structure of the chain wheel chain pocket was optimized.Through orthogonal experiment comparison,the optimal optimization scheme was determined.After optimization,the maximum stress of the chain wheel was 210.4 MPa,a decrease of 15%.Verification through engineering practice showed that after optimization,the downtime for fault maintenance during actual use was reduced to 60%of the original,and the equipment operated stably,achieving the expected application effect.

Simulation Analysis of Secondary Lifting and Sliding of Hydraulic Winch During Load Lifting

Abstract:Addressing the issue of slippage during the secondary lifting of a heavy load in an open-type pump-controlled volume speed regulation winch hydraulic system,an AMESim software was utilized to construct a simulation model of the winch's mechanical-hydraulic-control system.This model replicated the speed and pressure variation curves during the secondary lifting and slippage of the winch's load.The analysis revealed that the problem stemmed from a mismatch between the activation of the hydraulic brake and the system pressure buildup time.The simulation results indicated that under heavy load conditions,either reducing the opening of the one-way throttle valve at the brake or increasing the initial starting control current of the variable displacement pump could effectively address this issue.

Abstract:With the widespread application of power electronic equipment in various fields of industrial production,the issue of harmonic pollution in power grids has become increasingly severe.Hybrid Active Power Filter(HAPF),as an effective harmonic suppression method,has garnered widespread attention.However,traditional harmonic current detection algorithms were constrained by the performance of low-pass filters(LPFs),leading to a contradiction between harmonic detection accuracy and response speed in the system,often limiting the filtering effect.Therefore,an HAPF control strategy based on an LMS adaptive filter was adopted to address the issue of unable to balance dynamic and static performance.Finally,a system with an input voltage of 220 V,a rated frequency of 50 Hz,and a harmonic source of a three-phase rectifier with variable load was designed,and the correctness of this scheme was verified using Matlab/Simulink.The research results showed that the HAPF controller based on the LMS adaptive filter had good filtering effects,strong accuracy and real-time performance,and could significantly improve the system's control performance and anti-interference capability,with broad application prospects.

[Journal Article]YUE Yajun, PENG Jun, ZHANG Tao et al.-Colliery Mechanical & Electrical Technology2025, No.04

Abstract:Due to the large amount of dust,high humidity,and multiple equipment involved in shield tunneling construction in coal mines,the optical path was obstructed,which affects the measurement accuracy and reliability of the total station guidance.The inertial navigation system is relatively less affected by the environment and can continuously provide the attitude angle of the equipment.Combined with the excavation stroke,it can calculate the spatial coordinates and deviation values of the equipment in real time.However,over time,its own drift leads to a large cumulative error.A method for autonomous positioning and orientation of shield tunneling system based on the combination of inertial navigation and total station was proposed based on the above issues.By analyzing the principle and characteristics of the combination of inertial navigation and total station positioning and guidance,a combined positioning and orientation model was established.Combined with the advancing mileage during the excavation process,the position parameters measured by the total station and the pose measured by the inertial navigation were used to calculate the pose coordinates of the inertial navigation for real-time substitution,and the fusion information of the autonomous positioning and orientation of the shield machine was obtained.

[Journal Article]CAO Yu, LI Bo, FAN Zhiming et al.-Colliery Mechanical & Electrical Technology2025, No.04

Abstract:The starting requirements for TBM excavation construction in coal mines are extremely important.Due to the heavy weight of the TBM host,it is easy to cause bulging and damage to the bottom plate in unstable surrounding rock,which can cause the TBM host to rise or sink,thereby affecting the control of the host's starting direction.By using the method of pouring concrete on the bottom plate and spraying concrete on both sides for reinforcement,the influence of surrounding rock deformation caused by ground pressure was reduced,thereby improving the accuracy of TBM starting excavation direction control and equipment stability.The early excavation always maintains an upward posture,avoiding the occurrence of TBM host"head falling"phenomenon.Based on the geological conditions of the TBM excavation working face in the high extraction tunnel starting chamber of a certain mine,a corresponding plan for bottom plate reinforcement was provided and successfully implemented.
