Vibration Control on Multilayer Cable Moving through the Crossover Zones on Mine Hoist

Abstract EN

Mine hoist is an important piece of equipment in mine hoist systems, and we achieve deep mine hoist through the multilayer winding, but the cable always undergoes severe shock and vibration during the winding process, and the dynamic load and wear would greatly reduce the lifetime of the cable and cause potential safety hazard.

In this paper, we start from the course of crossing over of winding cable, use the methods of differential geometry, mechanics, and mathematical analysis, study the movements of the crossover, and derive the important formula that can reduce the vibration of cable during the course of crossover: the formula about central angle of the crossover arc.

The results display that four factors contribute to central angle of the crossover arc, that is, the gap of the rope grooves, friction coefficient of the cable, and diameter of the drum and the cable.

The result can provide valuable information for designing multilayer winding mine hoist.
