The Dynamics of the Inertial Conveyor

The paper presents the results of the study of bodies movement on a rough surface, which carries out longitudinal and transverse oscillations. The design of the inertial conveyor for reducing dynamic loads has been proposed. The dependences of the acceleration of the longitudinal oscillations of the chute and the speed of the transverse oscillations of the chute walls on dimensionless time τ=ωt have been obtained. As a result of the kinematic analysis of the mechanism of the reciprocating movement of the chute, the dependences of the movement, speed and acceleration of the chute of the inertial conveyor on the angle of rotation of the crank and its rotation frequency have been obtained. As a result of the conducted theoretical studies, it has established that when the chute of the inertial conveyor is given transverse oscillations during periods of time and when the load slides along the surface of the chute, the productivity of this vehicle significantly increases. The obtained dependencies can be used in the design of inertial conveyors with given technical and economic indicators.
