Use of simulation by modelling of conveyor belt contact forces

Abstract

Intelligent conveyors include a large number of sensors and also signalling devices. So-called digital twin presents an advantage that creates a virtual image of a real conveyor. Simulation of the conveyor by simulation language can be an example of a tool of a conveyor virtual image. Simulation allows to test the proposed changes and in the case of functionality, to use the changes in the real operation of pipe conveyor. The paper presents the description of the simulated regression model of conveyor and realized simulation experiments within the regression model of pipe conveyor.

Belt Rotation in the Pipe Conveyor: Research on a Detection Method Based on Image Processing

“…With the arrival of industry 4.0, environmental problems are becoming increasingly prominent, all kinds of airtight conveying equipment favored, and continuous conveying machinery is an important technical equipment for modern industry and modern logistics widely [1] .For reducing the environmental pollution caused by the material conveying process, the closed conveying structure of the round tube belt conveyor came into being, the application range is getting wider and wider, and there is a trend of replacing the ordinary belt conveyor [2,3] .…”

Measurement of Amount for Steel Abrasive Material Transported by Special Scraper Conveyor

“…Chutes are very important on most conveyors. Mikusova et al [16] used finite element method (FEM) in their examination and in [17] the conveyor overflow was analyzed in terms of applied forces. Wang and Yang [18] improved the design and analysis of the transitional chute of a scraper conveyor.…”
