Algorithm for hydraulic system parameters of a dump truck

Abstract

At the initial stage of designing a dump truck it is necessary to determine the main units and assemblies of the vehicle, their parameters and dimensions. One of the systems of the dump truck is the hydraulic system. When creating new dump trucks, there is a necessity to define parameters and characteristics of hydraulic system components. The peculiarity of quarry dump trucks, in contrast to dump trucks, which are used on public roads, is that the modes of their operation are different. Therefore, when creating new dump trucks, it is necessary to develop an algorithm for selecting and justifying the parameters of the hydraulic system at the early stages of design. The article substantiates the necessity of developing an algorithm for determining the parameters of the hydraulic system. The main hydraulic consumers are defined and the requirements of each of the consumers are presented. The algorithm of justification of the parameters of the hydraulic system of the quarry dump truck is described. Determination of the required pump capacity of the hydraulic system is described. The use of the described algorithm for justification of the hydraulic system parameters of the dump truck contributes to the reduction of terms of development of design documentation at the early stages of design.
