The belt conveyor is a transmitting mechanical to drive materials byfriction in a continuous manner, it can form a delivery processes between thefeed point and the discharge point; if matching with corresponding technologicalprocess, they can be a rhythmic flow transport line.
The worm is a keycomponent of the belt conveyor; its stress force determines the quality of workperformance and length of service life. So, it is necessary to analyze thestress force of the worm.
When we take the stress analysis of worm drive gypsum powder manufacturing process, wemust first determine the direction of worm and worm gear. Worm is initiative, soit simply needs according to the steering of the worm and the helical directionof the line to determine the direction of worm wheel rotation, the method asfollows:
If worm is right type, we can express the worm direction with thefour fingers bending direction of right hand; the opposite direction indicatesthe tangent velocity direction of worm gear node so as to determine the turningof the worm gear.
The stress distribution of worm drive force is similar tothat of helical cylindrical gear, when the worm is active pieces, the normalforce working on tooth profile surface in bite aggregate node can be decomposedinto three mutually perpendicular force components: tangential force, axis forceand radial force. Tangential force and axial force are same in size and oppositeon direction; the two radial forces direct to respective axis; the tangentialforces of axial force and the worm wheel are same and point to the contrarydirections.
Then, we can take analysis to worm shaft strength and calculatethe calculated stress axis to verify the most dangerous section of the shaft andcheck whether it meets the strength requirements.
