Calculation and comparative analysis of bucket of the belt elevator

Abstract

The calculations of the bucket of a belt elevator for two working cases are presented - at the moment of scooping up the load by the bucket and at the moment of transporting the load into the vertical direction. A 3D model of the bucket was developed in the SolidWorks software package. The calculations of strength and stiffness of the bucket were performed. A comparative analysis of one size range of a bucket with different thicknesses of its walls is carried out.
