A novel high-strength large vibrating screen with duplex statically indeterminate mesh beam structure

Abstract

Screening is an indispensable unit process for separation of materials. Large vibrating screen is extensively used in coal processing because of its large production capacity. In this study, a novel large vibrating screen with duplex statically indeterminate mesh beam structure (VSDSIMBS) was presented. The dynamic model of VSDSIMBS was proposed, and characteristic parameters were obtained by theoretical calculations. In order to obtain more reliable and believable research results, model of a traditional vibrating screen (TVS) with the same mass was also established for comparisons with VSDSIMBS. The finite element (FE) method was applied to study the performance of VSDSIMBS and FE analysis of VSDSIMBS and TVS was completed by using characteristic parameters. Modal analysis results indicated that VSDSIMBS could avoid the resonance and run more smoothly than TVS. Furthermore, harmonic response analysis results showed that VSDSIMBS could improve the entire stress distribution, reduce high stress areas, and increase the strength of vibrating screen. With DSIMBS, the maximum stress of vibrating screen decreased from 130.53 to 64.54 MPa. The full-scale experimental tests were performed to validate the credibility and accuracy of FE analysis results. The stress and displacements of VSDSIMBS were measured under working conditions. The test results obtained are in good agreement with simulation results, and accord with conclusions made from FE analysis.

Dynamic characteristics analysis of a circular vibrating screen

“…However, during the operation of the vibrating screen, the vibration exciters will produce strong alternating load on the screen body, which will lead to side plates deformation, beam fracture and other failures of the screen body, affecting the structural reliability and reducing the working life of the vibrating screen [5,6].…”

Dynamic characteristics analysis of a novel vibrating screen based on electromechanical coupling simulation

“…The motor is connected to the transmission shaft using elastic coupling. The shaft rotates the eccentric blocks, generating harmonic excitation force, and moving the screen body [32]. Compared to the traditional exciting beam vibrating screen, the VSSIMBS has improved stiffness and strength.…”
