The extremely poor loading performance of a thin coal shearer drum affects the mining efficiency in thin seam mining seriously on account of the restriction by the complicated mining environment and seam thickness. The coal loading performance of the drum is influenced by several complex factors, such as motion parameters and structural parameters, including the structure and form of the hub. The form of the drum hub is cylindrical in general, and in order to study the influence of the hub form on the coal loading rate of the drum, seven drums with different hub forms and structures were designed. The influence of the complexity of hub structures on the coal loading performance was studied by discrete element method (DEM) simulation in this paper. The change curves with the research object of different drums, such as coal loading rate, velocity field distribution, and contact force between fallen coal particles, were obtained. The results showed that the conical hub drum can improve the coal loading performance than the cylindrical hub drum, and the curve-shaped hub drum had a more obvious promotion on the coal loading performance. The coal loading rate increased first and then decreased with the increase of hub cone angle. Compared with the conical hub drum, the curve-shaped hub drum can not only improve the coal loading rate, but also has a larger space containing coal. This study has proposed a drum with a new form hub which could increase the coal loading rate, and the methods and conclusions provide the guidance for drum hub design.

The poor loading performance of shearer drums restricts the development and production efficiency of coal in thin coal seams. Changing operation and structural parameters can improve the drum’s loading performance to some extent, but the effect is not obvious. A two-segment differential rotational speed drum (TDRSD) was proposed after analyzing the drum’s influence mechanism on coal particles. To further reveal the drum’s coal loading principle, the velocity, particles distribution, and loading rate were analyzed. The effect of the matching relationship of the rotational speed and helix angle between the front and rear drum are also discussed. The results show that a lower front drum rotational speed had a positive impact on improving the loading performance, and the loading rate first increases and then decreases with the increase in rear drum rotational speed. The optimal loading performance was obtained in the range 60–67.5 rpm. The front drum’s helix angle had no evident effect on loading performance, and the loading rate increase with the increase in the rear drum’s helix angle. The results provide a reference and guidance for operation parameters selection, structure design, and drum optimization.

The drum is the working mechanism of the coal shearer, and the coal loading performance of the drum is very important for the efficient and safe production of coal mine. In order to study the coal loading performance of the shearer drum, a discrete element model of coupling the drum and coal wall was established by combining the results of the coal property determination and the discrete element method. The movement of coal particles and the mass distribution in different areas were obtained, and the coal particle velocity and coal loading rate were analyzed under the conditions of different helix angles, rotation speeds, traction speeds and cutting depths. The results show that with the increase of helix angle, the coal loading first increases and then decreases; with the increase of cutting depth and traction speed, the coal loading rate decreases; the increase of rotation speed can improve the coal loading performance of drum to a certain extent. The research results show that the discrete element numerical simulation can accurately reflect the coal loading process of the shearer drum, which provides a more convenient, fast and low-cost method for the structural design of shearer drum and the improvement of coal loading performance.

We discover novel types of stationary cone-jet steams emitting from a nozzle of a syringe loaded with a conductive liquid. The predicted cone-jet-flow geometries are based on the analysis of the electrohydrodynamic equations including the surface current. The electric field and the flow velocity field inside the cone are calculated. It is shown that the electric current along the conical stream depends on the cone angle. The stable values of this angle are obtained based on the Onsager’s principle of maximum entropy production. The characteristics of the jet that emits from the conical tip are also studied. The obtained results are relevant both for the electrospraying and electrospinning processes.

Gob-side entry retaining, also termed as non-pillar mining, plays an important role in saving coal resources, high production and efficiency, extending the service life of mine and improving the investment benefit. Herein, a gob-side entry retaining method involving the use of bag filling material for wall construction is proposed based on the thin seam mining characteristics. First, a gob-side entry retaining mechanical model is established, and the side support resistance of the 8101 working face is calculated. The mechanical properties of the bag material are investigated through experiments, and the construction technology of the gob-side entry retaining approach involving the use of bag filling material for wall construction is introduced. The deformation on the two sides, the roof and floor of the roadway, are simulated via numerical methods and monitored during field tests. The results show a small control range for the deformations and a good roadway retention effect, thereby proving the feasibility of the bag filling material for wall construction. This study provides a reference for the development of gob-side entry retaining mining for thin coal seams.

Abstract The oil and gas exploration without rig (also known as badger exploration) is a novel exploration technology that removes the need for fixed rig drilling, bringing with it the promise of huge savings in terms of time and money and its low impact on the environment. The implementation of this technology is an autonomous exploration tool, which can drill into rock using an electrically powered bit to loosen and crush the formation ahead of it, and crushed cuttings is moved through the device and deposited in the space behind it. Because there is no drilling fluid in badger drilling, a new way of transporting cuttings is urgently needed. In this paper, a new kind of bit named internal cuttings removal (ICR) bit is developed for badger exploration, and it can not only drill rock but also collect and transport cuttings to the bit behind through the inner cavity of the bit. Compared with the common polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit, the junk slots are removed, but the helical blades and screw conveyor are added on the ICR bit. Theoretically, the two effects of rotating helical blades on cuttings moving are studied, based on the conditions of low and high rotating speed, respectively. Moreover, the rate of cuttings removal of the ICR bit is given in formulas, and in order to ensure the cuttings is removed from bottomhole timely, and the maximum permissible rate of penetration (ROP) of the ICR bit is proposed. Finally, two samples of the ICR bit with different structural parameters were built and tested in dry and wet rock drilling experiments, and experimental results show that the ICR bit can achieve the expected goal of ICR, but wet cuttings has a significant influence on the performance of the ICR bit. By comparing the drilling results of two bits, it can be found that the concave blade surface, a small number of blades, and small inner cone angle have the positive effects on the cuttings removal of the ICR bit. The above work is helpful for the development and implementation of badger exploration technology.

The dynamic characteristics of machine tool is an important factor, which make affect on the cutting stability of machine tool. The poor dynamic characteristics will seriously affect the stability of cutting, make the low cutting efficiency and low machining precision, and also accelerate the wear of tools and even reduce the machine’s service life. So it is necessary to analyze the dynamic characteristics of machine tool, and according to the results of analysis to optimize structural parameters and motion parameters of the machine tools. This paper analyses the dynamic characteristics of machine bed and machined work piece of the CNC special machine tool for Kelly with the finite element software, and analysis of excitation characteristics of cutting tool. It also makes optimization design to the machine bed, through the analysis and optimization, the natural frequency and stiffness will be obviously improved. According to the structure and calculation of the motion parameters we can get the exciting force frequency to workpiece when it is cut, using interlocking tooth cutting method to replace the initial symmetrical cutting method in order to avoid the resonance produced in the cutting process and improve stability. The exciting frequency when cutting can be improved and the probability of resonance when cutting is lowered. All these ensure high efficiency and high stability cutting.

Good Agreement

For axisymmetric extrusion through conical dies, an admissible velocity field without discontinuities was obtained by superposition of basic flow patterns. Based on this velocity field, the upper bound to the average forming pressure and the detailed mechanics were calculated for the extrusion of a rod with a semi-cone angle of 45° and a reduction of 75 per cent in area. Three different friction conditions along the die were considered and their influence on the deformation characteristics was discussed. Flow lines, velocity components, grid distortion, strain-rate components, effective strain rate, effective strain, and stress components were plotted. A comparison of the present results with those obtained experimentally (visioplasticity) shows good agreement.
