Abstract:

To reveal the influence of working parameters on the operation and performance of the spring teeth chain rake type residual film reclaimer, the three-dimensional discrete element model of the interaction between the spring teeth and the soil was established by EDEM 2019.1 software, and the changes of the forces during the working of the spring teeth was simulated. The reliability of the spring teeth during operation under the working conditions was verified. The spring teeth would not fail due to plastic deformation and could work smoothly. The trajectory of the spring teeth tip was ploted under different speed ratios via the software of Python 3, and the motion trajectory was obtained as cycloid. Based on the Box-Behnken experiment design method, mathematical models were established within the angular velocity of chain rake, the machine advance speed, the embedded depth of spring teeth, the recovery rate of residual film and the impurity rate, the operation parameters were optimized, and a field test was carried out. It was shown that the optimized operation parameters were as follows: the angular velocity of chain was 14.73 rad·s-1, the machine advance speed was 9.7 km·h-1, and the embedded depth of spring teeth was 74.7 mm. Under this working condition, the average recovery rate of residual film was 92.8%, and the impurity rate was 63.6% in the field test, which could meet the requirement of residual film reclaimer.
