Abstract—Belt conveyors play an important role in continuous dry bulk material transport, especially at the mining industry. Speed control is expected to reduce the energy consumption of belt conveyors. Transient operation is the operation of increasing or decreasing conveyor speed for speed control. According to literature review, current research rarely takes the conveyor dynamics in transien...

Rubber belt not only is one of the key components of belt conveyor, but also affects the overall performance of the core part. Research on dynamics analysis of large conveyor not only helps to improve the reliability and design level, but also can guide the rational selection of conveyor safety factor, and effectively reduce the cost of the conveyor belt. Based on unique viscoelastic properties...

Despite the popularity of the conveyor-belt model for portraying the airflow through midlatitude cyclones, questions arise as to the path of the cold conveyor belt, the lower-tropospheric airflow poleward of and underneath the warm front. Some studies, beginning with Carlson’s analysis of the eastern U.S. cyclone of 5 December 1977, depict the cold conveyor belt moving westward, reaching the no...

The design and development objective of the entire belt conveyor control system is to minimize physical labor, which can make full use of other energy and variety of information other than manpower operation so as to increase efficiency and reduce accidents. This paper makes an in-depth analysis of implementation possibilities and requirements of the ARM-based monitoring of belt conveyor system...

In this research, we studied the fault recognition algorithm of steel cord conveyor belt, and obtained the wire ropes image by adopting the detection system of steel cord conveyor belt, so that the fault recognition algorithm of steel cord conveyor belt was proposed based on Fruit fly optimization algorithm. As we know that the fruit fly optimization algorithm is used for fault detection of the...

Overhead conveyor systems satisfy by their simple construction, wide application range and their full compatibility with other manufacturing systems, which are designed according to international standards. Ultra-light overhead conveyor systems are rope-based conveying systems with individually driven vehicles. The vehicles can move automatically on the rope and this can be realized by energy a...

In this paper a voltage controlled current conveyor is presented wherein the intrinsic transresistance is controlled by a voltage variable current source which is realized using floatinggate MOSFETs. The resultant conveyor has been used to implement an impedance converter which is further used as inductance simulator. The characteristics of the conveyor and inductance simulation have been obtai...

This paper describes a manipulation primitive called toppling—knocking a part over. We derive the mechanical conditions for toppling and describe two applications to conveyor-based parts feeding. Toppling complements previous approaches to conveyor-plane feeding, allowing full three-dimensional parts feeding on a constant-speed conveyor.
