Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mining machinery, in particular to a high-pressure roller mill wear prediction and life evaluation method based on DEM-FEM coupling simulation. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a high-efficiency and energy-saving crushing device, the high-pressure roller mill has been widely used in the fields of mining, building materials, chemical industry and metallurgy, etc. due to its high crushing efficiency, low energy consumption and fine product size advantage brought by the principle of "laminated crushing".
[0003] However, the roller surface wear is always the core bottleneck restricting the efficient and stable operation of the high-pressure roller mill. Due to the continuous contact between the roller surface and high-hardness materials (such as iron ore, granite, etc.) under the conditions of high pressure (usually up to 10-30 MPa) and low-speed relative motion during the working process, the roller surface material will be severely worn due to particle impact, extrusion, sliding friction, etc. According to industry statistics, the downtime maintenance time caused by roller surface wear accounts for 20%-30% of the total running time in the mining scene, the cost of replacing the roller surface is expensive, and the production line capacity loss caused by downtime is difficult to estimate. In addition, the worn roller surface morphology will change the material crushing trajectory, leading to uneven product size distribution, further affecting the subsequent separation efficiency, and forming a vicious cycle of "wear-production capacity decline-energy consumption rise".
[0004] The traditional single simulation method (such as pure discrete element or pure finite element analysis) cannot accurately simulate the wear mechanism under complex working conditions. This traditional single simulation mode leads to a large deviation between the wear prediction result and the actual working condition. At the same time, the existing life prediction method relies on empirical formula and does not consider the influence of working condition fluctuation on wear accumulation, resulting in low life prediction accuracy and greatly increased operation and maintenance cost.
[0005] The wear analysis and life prediction method based on discrete element and finite element coupling simulation can effectively solve the above problems. This method simulates the particle crushing and dynamic contact force in real time through discrete element, provides accurate dynamic load input for finite element, and calculates the roller shaft structure deformation and stress distribution through finite element. Combined with the Archard wear model and linear cumulative damage theory, the life prediction accuracy is improved, effectively solving the defects of not considering working condition changes and the problem of rough life prediction in traditional research.

[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0035] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a high-pressure roller mill wear prediction and life evaluation method based on DEM-FEM coupling simulation, which comprises the following steps: S1, a high-pressure roller mill wear prediction and life evaluation method based on DEM-FEM coupling simulation, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: S1, a simplified model of the roller mill is constructed by modeling software, including a roller shaft, a roller pin, and a box body closely combined with the side surface of the roller shaft; S2, the crushing and contact behavior of the grinding material particles is simulated based on the discrete element method, the Hertz-Mindlin contact model and the Tavares crushing model are used to quantify the interaction between the grinding material particles and the roll surface, the actual stress-strain curve is matched through a virtual compression test, and the particle size is generated by using normal distribution; S3, the dynamic interaction of particles and structure is processed by discrete element and finite element bidirectional coupling simulation, the roller surface wear is calculated by combining the Archard wear model, the roller structure stress, strain and particle and structure contact mechanics related equations are solved; S4, through the force and displacement exchange mechanism, the discrete element simulation outputs the particle position, the contact force between the particle and the roller surface to update the load boundary of the finite element model, the roller surface node displacement is output by the finite element simulation to correct the motion trajectory and contact interface form of the particle in the discrete element, and a closed loop feedback is formed; S5, the instantaneous wear amount is calculated based on the Archard wear model and the output of the closed loop feedback, the instantaneous wear amount under multiple working conditions is converted into a damage index by combining the linear cumulative damage theory, and the roller surface life is determined when the total damage index reaches a threshold value.
[0036] The method specifically comprises: 1. Three-dimensional model construction: The high-pressure roller mill crushing process is quasi-static crushing, the roller shaft rotates at low speed and the stress is concentrated in the roller shaft-material contact area, and the influence of the secondary structure on the particle crushing and wear distribution can be ignored. In order to avoid that the established roller mill is too complex, resulting in various uncertain influencing factors in the simulation process, the model is simplified into two roller shafts and a shell under the condition of not affecting the simulation results. At the same time, the edge effect of the roller shaft is not analyzed, that is, the roller end sealing structure is ignored. In order to prevent mass loss when the particles are broken and scattered during the simulation process and facilitate the later statistics of the mass of the broken particles, a box body closely combined with the side surface of the roller shaft is established, which effectively avoids the error caused by the edge effect. The model size of the high-pressure roller mill is 800*800mm, and the diameter and height of the roller peg are 55*4mm.
[0037] The material of the high-pressure roller shaft equipment is 45 steel, and the material is iron ore. The specific parameters are as shown in Table 1: Table 1
[0038] 2. Discrete element simulation simulation: Through simulation, data such as particle crushing size, pressure distribution, etc. are obtained, and the actual stress-strain curve is matched through virtual compression test.
[0039] During the grinding process of the high-pressure roller mill, the contact between the iron ore particles and the surface of the roller shaft and the extrusion crushing between the particles all follow the law of contact mechanics. The elastic contact between the interaction force between the particles and the relative displacement of the particles can be described by Hooke's law: (1) Among them, F is the interaction force between the particles, kis the contact stiffness between particles (related to the elastic modulus of the material, etc.), delta x is the relative displacement between particles.
[0040] In material mechanics, the stress and strain are expressed as: (2) (3) where A is the force area, delta L is the change in particle diameter, L 0 is the initial diameter of the particle.
[0041] Normal contact force formula: (4) F n is the normal contact force between particles and particles, particles and roller shaft (in a high-pressure roller mill, this force dominates the material crushing); E* is the equivalent elastic modulus, R is the equivalent contact radius, delta n is the normal compression (the deformation amount of the material being extruded during grinding). The compression delta n is greater, the contact force F n is higher, and the material is easier to crush.
[0042] In a high-pressure roller mill, iron ore material often exists in the form of "agglomerated particles", and the breaking of the bonding bond is the direct cause of material crushing. The bonding bond strength is expressed by the following formula: (5) where, F bond is the maximum force that the bonding bond can withstand, sigma bond is the bonding strength, A bond is related to the bonding contact area and the particle diameter. When the roller shaft normal pressure F n exceeds F bond , the bonding bond breaks, and the large particles disintegrate into small particles.
[0043] In the high-pressure roller milling process, the comminution of the material is an extremely complex energy conversion, and the Tavares breakage model can well simulate the process of particle breakage. When using the Tavares breakage model to simulate the breakage of iron ore in the high-pressure roller mill, the fracture energy of different iron ore particles is different. Let E represent the particle fracture energy distribution, which refers to the maximum stress energy that the particle can withstand in collision, and its formula is expressed as: (6) (7) Wherein, E 50 is the median of the distribution, which is a key reference for particle fracture energy, reflecting the average fracture energy level of the particle population. sigma is the standard deviation, reflecting the dispersion degree of the fracture energy. E ∞ is the fracture energy when the particle size is infinite, reflecting the inherent fracture characteristics of the material itself. d 0 is the reference particle size, phi is the adjustment parameter, adjusting the trend of fracture energy with particle size. d p is the representative particle size contained in the size class.
[0044] Due to the size effect of particles, the E 50 value of large particles is relatively large, and the E 50 value of small particles is relatively small, which means that large particles may break at lower energy, while small particles need higher energy. In the roller milling process, iron ore particles are constantly subjected to extrusion and collision, and each impact that does not lead to breakage will cause damage to the particles. With the accumulation of damage, the fracture energy of the particles gradually decreases, and the subsequent impact at lower energy may also break. Its formula is expressed as follows: (8) Wherein, E f is the fracture energy of the damaged particle, E is the original fracture energy of the particle, D represents the degree of damage. e is the energy ratio involved in the collision, determined by the particle stiffness k p and the surface stiffness k s of the particles in contact. gamma is the damage accumulation coefficient, which characterizes the ability of the material to withstand damage before catastrophic fracture.
[0045] The degree of breakage of particles ground by the high-pressure roller mill is represented by t10 represents, the formula is as follows: (9) wherein, t 10 represents the proportion of fragments smaller than the parent particle size 1 / 10 . A and b is the impact parameter, A corresponding to the maximum value that can be reached when the material is destroyed in a single impact event t 10 .
[0046] After setting the material parameters and the like, a virtual box is established above the roller shafts as a particle generator, particles of which are generated from the inside thereof, and the particle size distribution is normally distributed. The particle size is generated using the normal distribution, and a mass sensor is used to monitor the material throughput in real time. Finally, the imported model is meshed, and the grinding simulation is finally debugged to the appropriate time step.
[0047] 3. Finite element simulation: In the wear research of high-pressure roller mills, finite element simulation can reveal the formation mechanism of wear under different working conditions, locate the vulnerable areas of the roller shafts, and quickly optimize the roller surface structure through parameterized simulation.
[0048] From a mechanical point of view, when the material particles enter the high-pressure roller mill and come into contact with the roller shaft, a force will be exerted on the surface of the roller shaft. This force mainly includes normal force and tangential force. The normal force is generated by the reaction force of the particles being extruded by the roller shaft, and the tangential force is mainly generated by the relative sliding of the particles and the roller shaft surface and the mutual friction between the particles to the roller shaft surface. From an energy point of view, during the collision and sliding of the particles with the roller shaft, part of the kinetic energy will be converted into work on the surface of the roller shaft, which may cause plastic deformation, fatigue damage, or even material removal of the surface of the roller shaft, i.e., wear. Through finite element simulation, the high-pressure roller mill model is discretized into a finite number of non-overlapping elements, and then by solving the mechanical equilibrium equation of the elements, the stress, strain and pressure distribution of the contact interface of the roller shaft are obtained, providing a mechanical basis for wear calculation.
[0049] Based on the theory of continuum mechanics, the roller shaft speed of the high-pressure roller mill is low, and the material falling acceleration can be ignored. The structural mechanics equilibrium equation is: (10) wherein, wherein sigma is the roller stress tensor, rho is the material density, f is the material volume.
[0050] When the stress on the roller surface sigma eqWhen the stress is less than the yield strength of the material sigma eq < sigma s , the stress-strain relationship is: (11) (12) where, epsilon ij is the strain tensor component, sigma kk is the trace of the stress tensor, E is the Young's modulus of the roll material, nu is the Poisson's ratio, when i = j delta ij =1, i not-equals j delta ij =0 .
[0051] When sigma eq > sigma s , the roll surface enters the plastic deformation stage, and the stress-strain relationship is: (13) where, sigma s is the yield strength, K is the strengthening coefficient, epsilon p is the equivalent plastic strain, n is the hardening exponent.
[0052] In the coupling simulation framework, the Archard model converts the continuous interaction force and energy transfer into the wear rate. Its formula is expressed as: (14) where, Q is the wear volume, k is the wear coefficient (related to material properties), F n is the normal force, s is the sliding distance, H is the material hardness.
[0053] 4. Coupling of discrete element and finite element simulation: A closed-loop coupling system is constructed through a force and displacement bidirectional exchange mechanism to realize the real-time linkage of particle dynamic behavior and roll structure mechanical response, and through bidirectional data feedback to accurately restore the coupling mechanism of "particle action and structure deformation and wear evolution".
[0054] In the discrete element and finite element coupling simulation, the spatial correspondence between the coupling grid and the particle contact boundary is established through geometric coordinate mapping to ensure the spatial consistency of data transmission. A special coupling module interface is built to clarify the variable type and transmission protocol of data interaction.
[0055] Data and result analysis: Data: Obtain a series of large amounts of data such as the mass proportion of particle fineness from discrete element simulation, and then analyze the reliability of the data.
[0056] Results: Through the post-processing of the wear data of the roller mill, the cumulative wear depth or wear rate, roller surface pressure, material speed, etc. Cloud map can be visualized. Analyze the wear of the roller mill and establish a roller surface life prediction model.
[0057] 5. Life prediction Wear prediction: Calculate the wear amount after each working area grinding through simulation, and then continuously iterate the wear depth of the roller surface to establish a life prediction model for prediction.
[0058] Through the Archard wear model combined with the linear cumulative model for life prediction, calculate the instantaneous wear damage under each working condition, and then superimpose the damage through the linear cumulative model until the failure threshold is reached Q cr .
[0059] The high-pressure roller mill provides a huge pressure for grinding through the hydraulic system, and the pressure difference caused by particle crushing can be ignored. Therefore, it is assumed that the grinding process of the high-pressure roller mill is a stable working condition, and the wear amount increases linearly with time or processing amount.
[0060] Wear damage definition: Convert the wear amount Q into wear damage D , which is the ratio of wear amount at a certain stage to critical wear amount.
[0061] (15) Where, Q i is the wear amount under the i th working condition; Q cr is the critical wear amount, which is the maximum allowable wear amount when the component fails.
[0062] Damage accumulation formula under multiple working conditions: Assume that the component experiences n different working conditions, and the running time under each working condition is t i , then the total damage Dtotal This is the sum of damage at each stage.
[0063] (16) (17) in, L i For the first i Wear depth under sub-condition v i For the first i Sliding speed under the next working condition.
[0064] When total damage D total =1 When the component reaches its failure life. T If the running time is... t i The total time is calculated by summing the results. T = sum t i Then the lifespan prediction formula can be expressed as: (18) in, f i =t i / T For the first i The percentage of time spent in each working condition ( ∑f i =1 ), representing the weight of the working condition distribution.
[0065] A life prediction model combining a linear cumulative model and an Archard wear model provides a precise quantitative tool for the efficient operation and maintenance of high-pressure roller mills. By dynamically accumulating wear damage under different operating conditions, this model can scientifically predict the lifespan of the roller surface when it reaches the failure threshold. Compared to traditional disassembly and measurement, it can provide early warning of wear, avoiding excessive maintenance costs caused by periodic replacement based solely on experience, and reducing unplanned downtime losses due to sudden wear.
[0066] The present invention also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements a method for predicting wear and life assessment of a high-pressure roller mill based on DEM-FEM coupled simulation as described above.
