Development of CAD/CAM system and profile measuring device for CNC grinding machine to obtain an optimal grinding speed

Cam mechanics is one of the most popular devices for generating irregular motions and is widely used in automatic equipment,such as textile machines,internal combustion engines,and other automatic devices.In order to obtain a positive motion from the follower using a rotating cam,its shape should be correctly designed and manufactured.The development of an adequate CAD/CAM system for a cam profile CNC grinding machine is necessary to manufacture high-precision cams.The purpose of this study is the development of a CAD/CAM system and profile measuring device for a CNC grinding machine to obtain an optimal grinding speed with a constant surface roughness.Three types of disk cams were manufactured using the proposed algorithm and procedures to verify effectiveness of the developed CAD/CAM system.

Breakage and separation mechanism of ZGM coal mill based on parameters optimization model

Sampling ports were firstly drilled on a ZGM95 coal mill in the power plant in China, and the coal samples from various points in the pulverizer were collected under the different operation conditions. The prop- erty of the sampling material from the mill was analyzed, applying the float-sink test, size distribution analysis, proximate analysis and so on. It was indicated that the ＋250 I^m fraction in the pulverized fuel accounted for only 0.02%, while it was 83.2% in the new feed. The circulating ratio and coal flow in the separator and the cone zone were calculated using the mass balance of the circulating load. So, the cir- culating ratio in the separator of the pulverizer was between 8 and 13, and the circulating ratio, the feed flow of separator and cone zone all raised with the increase of the air volume. Furthermore, the parameters of the separation functions were obtained based on the fitting method. It was shown that the mean value of the shape factor B was 0.7617, and the parameter D which is the particle size at 50% cumulative yield in the separator almost kept unchanged.

Failure Mechanisms and Structural Optimization of Shredder Hammer for Metal Scraps

Recycling retired cars can relieve the environmental pollution and resource waste efficiently.However,a few publications can be found on the failure mechanisms and optimization method of recycling equipment,shredders.Thus,the failure mechanisms and structural optimization of shredder hammers for retired cars are studied aiming improving shredding efficiency and reducing cost.Failure types of shredder hammer are studied theoretically,and it is found that wear failure and fatigue failure are the two main failure types of shredder hammer.The shredding process of metal scraps is analyzed by finite element method,and it can be divided into four stages based on the stress states：initial stage,collision stage,grinding stage and separation stage.It is proved that the shredding efficiency can be improved by increasing cutouts on the hammer head.Finally,it is determined that the hammer with two cutouts is the optimal structure for metal scraps,which can improve the shredding efficiency by 20% and lengthen the hammer life by 15%.This study provides scientific basis for the industry application and theoretical foundation for further research.
