Dynamic characteristics analysis of a novel vibrating screen based on electromechanical coupling simulation

The vibrating screen with statically indeterminate mesh beam structure (VSSIMBS) is a novel type of large vibrating screen, which is widely used in coal preparation plants due to its high strength and processing capacity. In this study, the VSSIMBS motion differential equations were obtained via on Lagrange equation, and the dynamic vibration system model was established. The eccentric block force conditions during the operation were analyzed, and the stable vibrating screen operational conditions were obtained. The electromechanical coupling simulation model of VSSIMBS was built in Simulink, allowing frequency control and vibration synchronization experiments. Experimental frequency control results have shown that when the output characteristics of both motors are either the same or similar, synchronous movement can be achieved. Regarding vibration synchronization, experiment results have shown that when two motors are in synchronous motion, and the power supply of one motor is cut off, they still can operate synchronously. Thus, the experimental results obtained in this study provide a theoretical reference for improving the motion stability of large vibrating screens.
