Study On Computer Aided Bucket Wheel Design

Bucket Wheel is a kind of equipment used in the exploitation system in strip mine, as one of the main equipments in the large-scale exploitations throughout the world. But each Bucket Wheel in our country is import. The foreign manufacturers sell the finished products only, we can not get the blueprint and the computational data. So the work which collects and analyzes the data of Bucket Wheels diffusely has been done, but did not form the memory of design. Therefore it is necessary to master the memory of Bucket Wheel design and manufacture it by ourselves with computer accessorial design. United with the necessary of the product design of Shengyang Heavy-duty Machine Company, the paper developed the software on Computer Aided Bucket Wheel Design in order to solve the problem: the long time spend on traditional design and the complicated calculation. The main structural style of Bucket Wheel conclude: the direct inner discharged Bucket Wheel, the Bucket Wheel which arms can not flex and the Bucket Wheel which arms can flex. The Bucket Wheel also can be divided into: minitype,medium-sized and heavy-duty by bulk. We developed the software with C++ Builder, and one of it`s menu "calculation of design" include:The calculation of throughput includes: the throughput per hour theoretically,the throughput per hour practically and the maximum throughput per hour.The calculation of main parameter includes: the diameter of bucket,the velocity of bucket incision,the number of bucket and the time of unburden and so on.The calculation of the drive power of bucket includes: power to drive the rotative superstructure of bucket,power to shift the swing of bucket,power to drive the strap machine and the power to drive pedrail. The software is developed in the main window frame and provides limit and protect for the imported numbers just like the following programme. The environment our software demands: hardware requirements:The CPU demands Intel 586 at least which main frequency demands over 2.0 GEMS memory: 32M at leastHD: 10M free space at least, server HD is recommendedDisplay and affiliated equipment: can display 32 bit color and resolving power can archive 1024×768. The adapter card to display which has 32M memory is recommendedstandard keyboard and mouse Software requirements:OS: WINDOWS 98 ,2000 ,NT and XP In the practical design use our software can shorten the time spend on the design. All of the calculation can be done in 5 minutes. So the paper archived good results and has important instructional meaning to product design.
