Abstract

Most of the faults of conveyor are caused by the belt deviation. This paper designed an automatic deviation correction device and control system to prevent the belt deviation in the curve section. First, the mechanical structure of the key parts of the correction device is designed and calculated, and the strength of the key parts is checked by Finite Element Method. The simulation results show that the deviation correction device can meet the strength design requirements under the limit conditions. Second, the control flow and the controller of the deviation correction control system are designed. Combined with SOLIDWORKS/MSC-ADAMS/MATLAB co-simulation model, the control performance of the four controllers was compared and analyzed. The simulation results show that the control performance of the designed controller is better than that of other controllers, but hysteresis phenomenon occurs at the initial response stage. Finally, genetic algorithm was introduced to tune the control parameters of the deviation correction controller to solve the disadvantage. The simulation results show that the hysteresis phenomenon is eliminated. This study provides a new correction method for preventing the belt deviation in the curve section.
