Taking
reducing the wear of the fixed cone liner of a cone crusher
as the starting point, the movement and geometry parameters of the
cone crusher are studied using the discrete element method. To improve
the service life and working efficiency of the whole cone crusher.
The UG model and discrete element Yade model of the cone crusher are
established, and the different shapes of the tin ore are represented
using Yade’s preprocessor through eight different ways of particle
combination and superposition. The static friction coefficient between
the manganese ore and the cone crusher is studied and calibrated using
the slope method. The relative error between the Yade and test results
is 1.58%, and the calibration result is 0.44. The repose angle of
the manganese ore is studied using the collapse method. The repose
angle increases with the increase of the static friction coefficient
and the dynamic friction coefficient, but the change trend is different.
The effect of the dynamic friction coefficient on the repose angle
is obviously greater than that of the static friction coefficient.
The dynamic friction coefficient obtained by Yade is 0.042. Taking
the swing distance, rotating speed, and bottom angle of the fixed
cone as the orthogonal experimental factors of Yade, the regression
equation of the fixed cone liner was obtained through the nonlinear
processing of SPSS 25.0. According to Matlab R2017b, the influences
of the swinging distance, rotating speed, and bottom angle of the
fixed cone on the fixed cone liner are obtained. According to Yade’s
research results, the order of the influence degree of liner wear
is: the rotating speed of moving cone, the swinging distance of the
fixed cone, and the base angle of fixed rotation. When the swinging
distance of the fixed cone is 146 mm, the rotating speed of the moving
cone is 198 rpm, the fixed rotation bottom angle is 28°, and
the minimum value of the liner wear is 23 mm. Yade’s results
are consistent with the change trend of the wear amount of the bushing
obtained from the test. The research results show the correctness
of using the Yade method to study the wear of the fixed cone liner
of a cone crusher, which provides a theoretical basis for reducing
the wear of the fixed cone liner of a cone crusher, and puts forward
a new method to study the wear of relevant parts of a fixed cone crusher.
At the same time, the research results are of great significance for
achieving energy-saving in mining enterprises.
