Optimization design for roadheader cutting head by orthogonal experiment and finite element analysis

摘要

Optimization design for roadheader cutting head is investigated in this paper. For this purpose, the rotation velocity, the swing velocity, the cutting angles of picks, and the inclination angles of picks are chosen as the variable for the optimization, and the mean value of resultant force and variation coefficient of cutting load are chosen as optimization objective. The effects of these parameters on evaluation indexes are studied by orthogonal experiment and finite element analysis. The change trend of the evaluation indexes with the experimental factors is also carried out. Compared with the original design, the two evaluation indexes decreased by 18,3 % and 5,5 % after optimization design separately, which improves the cutting performance of roadheader cutting head efficiently.
