Analysis of the energy intensity of the technological process of loading compacted cargo
At present, many design and technological schemes of continuous loaders are used for loading and unloading operations. This is due to the large variety of transported goods. Loaders have distinctive features related to the type of feeder, the design of the working bodies, their number, the nature of movement, as well as the type of deformation of the separation of parts of the load from the main array. The main direction of ensuring the required performance with minimal energy consumption of loading machines is the justification and optimization of their parameters. The article presents studies of the nature of the movement of cargo on certain sections of the working bodies of loaders, taking into account the characteristics of the properties of the bundled cargo. It is noted that the path that a particle of cargo passes from the place of separation to unloading on the shipping conveyor has a direct impact on the quality indicators of loading. An expression is obtained for determining the energy intensity depending on the trajectory of the cargo movement, at each individual section of its movement.
