GENERATING NUMERICAL MULTIBODY MODEL OF TOOTHED BELT IN TECHNOLOGICAL MACHINES WITH SIEMENS NX

So far, in computer-aided modelling programs, there have not been implemented tools for the automatic generation of a dynamic model of an elastic belt transmission, created in the form of a multibody system. The publication presents reflections on this issue. There were developed scripts allowing one to automatically obtain the appropriate arrangement of links with respect to each other and to create the desired mechanical relations between or among them and other drive elements in the simulation. The programming bases of the proposed solutions were presented. Theoretical concepts were supported by application experiments in the Siemens NX environment. The method for the automatic generation of a multibody model of the toothed belt transmission, based on the geometric model of the latter, was developed. The work enabled the formulation of the conclusions on the development of modelling of the systems under consideration. The results of the research indicate high potential of the presented achievements. They constitute a basis for increasing the degree of computer technique aid for constructors or analysts.

Prediction of Belt Drive Faults in Case of Predictive Maintenance in Industry 4.0 Platform

Continuous production maintenance cost is among one of the highest operational expenses for manufacturing companies. Proper planning of maintenance interventions results in optimized equipment use, higher product quality, and reduced costs. For a belt drive usefulness, it is important that it is properly stretched and has no defects. However, manual condition assessment requires a production line stop, which in turn causes production to stop with associated consequences. Continuous fault diagnosis for anomalies is a fundamental step in estimating a component’s remaining service life and then obtaining a reliable predictive maintenance system that reduces production costs. The presented work presents an approach to anomaly detection based on the vibrations obtained from the operation of the belt transmission.

Modeling the damages of belt gears

This paper looks into the problem of choosing a driving belt for a drive. The previously developed selection of algorithms was subjected to another evaluation that helped us recognize the need for changes indicated in developing new designs of drive belts. The new algorithm will be tested by simulating the operating conditions of the transmission, to which the right belt must be selected. Damage assessment after operation and belt selection allows for the identification of a new coupling model. By presenting the relationship between specific failure cases and the parameters of the coupling model, we can see the functionality of the selection algorithm. There may be multiple belt transmission damages. The feed may be broken; the surface may be damaged; the same applies to the edges. Furthermore, the wheels and bearings may be damaged too. The belt can have many additional functions that affect its operating parameters. Next to the drive function, the belt often performs conveyor and control functions. Thus, additional types of damage occur in belts with additional functions. The number of causes of their occurrence is also growing. For example, any damage to the sling in the passenger elevator can endanger the life of the passengers. Intensive research is being carried out on the real-mode damage monitoring systems. Specific failures are being monitored, and appropriate systems are being designed for them. Therefore, it is important to investigate the damages to belt transmissions, modeling their course of progression and causes.

A Study of The Developing Archimedes Screw as A Turbine

Electricity plays an imperative role in improving the rural or remote community economic growth and quality of life. The pico hydro type Archimedes screw turbine (AST) is considered an independent power plant in rural or remote areas. The advantages of the AST are friendly to aquatic biota, the high and stable efficiency (electrical efficiency of 30% to 49%), and can operate in a run of river conditions. However, although this technology has been studied ± two decades, there is still no theory explaining the relationship between conversion energy, the geometry of screws, and efficiency. Therefore, the development of Archimedes screw focuses on the role of a converter water energy categorized as the environmentally friendly power plant. Thus, this paper aims to describe the future work required for the AST so that the basic principles and empirical theories are found. Based on reviews, the AST design can use Rorres and Muller & Senior analysis, AC generators with a pulley and toothed belt transmission systems, and do not immerse the outflow bucket side in the water. Furthermore, for AST to be better, several studies need to be done such as the method of manufacturing precision screws, the effect bubbles in the bucket and how to avoid them, determination optimum of the head and screw length using the slope angle, and investigation of the ratio of the inlet velocity with the angular velocity of a wheel on performance to avoid overflow leakage due to loading.

Design Problem of Flat Belts in Internal Transport Systems

The work deals with the problem of using flat belts in internal transport systems. There are many modern solutions for such belts, but to use them in demanding logistics systems, it is necessary to analyze the basic problems associated with coupling in a belt transmission. Then fast movement and transport problems can be solved. All these parameters contribute to the new approach to the belt-pulley coupling model, which was proposed in this paper.

Dynamic analysis of a belt transmission with the GMS friction model

The paper presents a certain method of analysing the dynamics of a belt transmission. A flat transmission model developed by us was presented. For the analysis, it assumed the transmission 5PK belt. A discrete belt model, being a system of rigid beams interconnected with flexible and shock-absorbing elements, was used. To account for the mutual influence between the belt and pulleys, the Kelvin–Voigt contact model was used. The GMS friction model was also implemented, which allows all basic known friction phenomena to be taken into account. For this purpose, the vector of generalized coordinates was expanded with additional sub-systems of coordinates modelling the flexible belt-pulley connection. Moreover, two additional cases of a sudden transmission start were presented: with values of driving and resistance torque not causing a significant slip in the transmission as well as values of torque that cause slip.

Experimental characterization and numerical determination of the rigidity of a Binder Magnetic synchronous belt transmission type AT10

Given the important role of synchronous belts in the functioning of mechanisms, they are the subject of numerous studies and researches in order to define them more and more finely. Their mechanical characteristics influence the behavior in operation of the mechanisms that they entail. Also, the measurement of the characteristics of the longitudinal stiffness of the belt and the stiffness of the teeth is necessary to better control their behavior. In addition, these parameters constitute input data for models of lifetime and dynamic behavior of synchronous transmissions. An approach for the determination of longitudinal stiffness is presented. We have demonstrated a study comparing the measurement of the rigidity of a toothed belt by two methods. This is to qualify the first method of measurement through experimentation. And the second measurement method using the simulation of this toothed belt by SOLIDWORKS software.
