Abstract
- The effects of the spiral line for pick arrangement on the cutting load of a boom type roadheader's cutting head were investigated. For this purpose, cutting heads with equal and unequal pitch angle and various numbers of spiral lines were designed for the same cutting head body. The cutting head with unequal pitch angle of spiral lines was specifically designed to avoid tool-holder overlap at the top section without adjustments and reduce the manufacturing difficulties. The cutting process of different cutting heads were simulated by finite element method using ANSYS/LS-DYNA and the time history curve of the traversing force, vertical force, axial force, and resultant force on the cutting head were obtained. The results indicate that the load stability of the cutting head with unequal pitch angle was worse than the equal pitch angle cutting head. For cutting heads with various numbers of spiral lines, the head with 3 spiral lines shows the best performance, considering the force values and fluctuations of the cutting head. The analysis provides a reliable basis for optimization of the design of boom type roadheader cutting heads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
