A method for establishing a bearing residual life prediction model for process enhancement equipment based on rotor imbalance response analysis

A rotating packed bed is a typical chemical process enhancement equipment that can strengthen micromixing and mass transfer.During the operation of the rotating packed bed,the nonreactants and products irregularly adhere to the wire mesh packing in the rotor,thus resulting in an imbalance in the vibration of the rotor,which may cause serious damage to the bearing and material leakage.This study proposes a model prediction for estimating the bearing residual life of a rotating packed bed based on rotor imbalance response analysis.This method is used to determine the influence of the mass on the imbalance in the vibration of the rotor on bearing damage.The major influence on rotor vibration was found to be exerted by the imbalanced mass and its distribution radius,as revealed by the results of orthogonal experiments.Through implementing finite element analysis,the imbalance response curve for the rotating packed bed rotor was obtained,and a correlation among rotor imbalance mass,distribution radius of imbalance mass,and bearing residue life was established via data fitting.The predicted value of the bearing life can be used as the reference basis for an early safety warning of a rotating packed bed to effectively avoid accidents.

THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF VIBRATION STRUCTURE OF VERTICAL DYNAMIC BALANCING MACHINE

A new type of vibration structure (i.e. supporting system, called swing frame cus- tomarily) of vertical dynamic balancing machine has been designed, which is based on an analysis for the swing frame of a traditional double-plane vertical dynamic balancing machine. The static unbalance and couple unbalance can be e?ectively separated by using the new dynamic balancing machine with the new swing frame. By building the dynamics model, the advantages of the new structure are discussed in detail. The modal and harmonic response are analyzed by using the ANSYS7.0. By comparing the ?nite element modal analysis with the experimental modal analy- sis, the natural frequencies and vibration modes are found. There are many spring boards in the new swing frame. Their sti?nesses are di?erent and assorted with each other. Furthermore, there are three sensors on the measuring points. Therefore, the new dynamic balancing machine can measure static unbalance and coupling unbalance directly, and the interaction between them is faint. The result shows that the new vertical dynamic balancing machine is suitable for inertial measurement of ?ying objects, and can overcome the shortcomings of traditional double-plane vertical dynamic balancing machines, which the e?ect of plane-separation is inferior. The vertical dynamic balancing machine with the new vibration structure can ?nd wide application in the future. The modelling and analysis of the new vibration structure will provide theoretical basis and practical experience for designing new-type vertical dynamic balancing machines.

Design and Performance Study of an Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel with Composite Horn Structure

The ultrasonic bone scalpel was often used in all kinds of clinical orthopedic surgery as a new type of medical instrument.Based on the working theory of the ultrasonic bone scalpel and combined with the design method of a quarter wavelength transducer and horn,this study proposed an optimization design method for the ultrasonic bone scalpel with a composite horn structure.The structure of the ultrasonic bone scalpel was simplified,and its length was shortened.Finite element analysis,modal analysis,and harmonic response analysis were used to optimize the design of the ultrasonic bone scalpel.The performance of the ultrasonic bone scalpel was explored through impedance analysis,amplitude measurement,temperature measurement,and cutting tests,and the feasibility of the design was verified through torque analysis.The results showed that when the torque force was 4.0 N,the resonance frequency of the ultrasonic bone scalpel was 30,540 Hz,and the maximum amplitude of the ultrasonic bone scalpel could reach 62μm.After spray cooling,the maximum surface temperature of the rear end cover was reduced from 51.8 to 36.3℃,the maximum surface temperature of the composite horn was reduced from 71 to 45.3℃,and the maximum surface temperature of the cutter head was reduced from 101 to 46.1℃,demonstrating a good cooling effect.Under 89 Voltage,the optimal cutting force for cutting chicken leg bones was 0.1 N,the optimal cutting force for cutting pork ribs was 0.3 N,and the cutting process showed tissue selectivity.
