Study on the Method for Collecting Vibration Signals from Mill Shell Based on Measuring the Fill Level of Ball Mill

Abstract EN

At present the method for measuring the fill level which used the vibration signal of mill shell shows its advantage compared with other methods.

However, this method is developed late, and the technique for collecting the vibration signal from mill shell is immature.

In this paper, a novel method for collecting the vibration data from mill shell is proposed.

Firstly, the layout scheme of vibration sensors on mill shell is given by analyzing the axial and circumferential movement of coal powder in roller.

And a special data acquisition system is developed, which can acquire vibration data from different axial and circumferential positions on mill shell.

Then the sampling frequency is obtained based on impact model and hierarchical model of steel balls.

At the same time, the impact region on mill shell caused by steel balls is considered as the collecting region of vibration signals.

Experimental result shows that vibration signals collected by the method proposed in this paper present a high sensitivity to the changes on fill level compared with vibration data of mill bearing, which provides a reliable basis for accurate measurement of the fill level.
