Traction analysis of hydro mechanical transmissions - Example: double-motor transmission

Example: double-motor transmission

As example we’ll lead calculation of the traction characteristic of a double-motor scraper with hydro mechanical transmission by power of 1000 kW with capacity of a ladle 16 м 3 (see Fig. 8) on the first transfer. Input data and zero approach are presented in the tabulated form on Fig. 9, and results of calculation of the scraper traction characteristic on the first transfer in tabulated form – on Fig. 10 а and in the graphic form – on Fig. 10 b . As results of calculation have shown, in operating modes of two motor branches of transmission there is no synchronism. The executed calculations have allowed estimating the actual contribution of each branch to the realized traction power of the machine and to execute deeper analysis of transmission with the purpose of a choice of its optimum variant.

а – table form, b – graphic form.

Considering a random character of loadings acting on working bodies of digging-transport, road and other mobile machines, often it is necessary to spend a traction calculation of hydro mechanical transmissions in view of non-uniform distribution of traction forces. For this purpose it is necessary to give histogram y ( T ) of distribution of traction force T and according to probability theory to define from the formula

(11)

average values of traction and general useful power, traction efficiency, hour fuel consumption and some other variables, depending on a traction force T. After this an average specific fuel consumption equal to relation of the summary average fuel consumption to the general useful power and describing a fuel economy of engine(s) is defined.
