Rake-car’s driving system of ore reclaimer originally used crank and connecting rod mechanism as driving mechanism. The driving mechanism got some trouble that parts got severe wear and failure rate of mechanism was high. The hydraulic system is used to drive rake car in view of hydraulic driving system’s advantage. By analysis on existing problem of crank and connecting rod mechanism, the actual working load of equipment is tested and the working situation is analysed. The working situation of the hydraulic system is also analysed by computer simulation. By optimization of the hydraulic system design, the final design is determined. The whole system is actually used. It works well.
