Study on electromagnetic-fluid-temperature multiphysics field coupling model for drum of mine cable winding truck

Aiming at solving problems of low efficiency, low cable capacity in current 300m open-pit mine cable winding truck, a 900 m cable winding plan was proposed. In this paper, the mechanism of the thermal effect of the cable was described, and a two-dimensional axisymmetric electromagnetic-fluid-temperature multiphysics coupling model of the cable reel was established regarding the 900m cable reel as independent system. Considering the structure of the drum, the number of cable winding layers, the factors of heat conduction, heat radiation and convective heat transfer in the actual working process, the steady state analysis of the multi-physical field coupling was carried out. The sum of the losses of each part of the cable was obtained through the calculation of electromagnetic field, which was used as a heat source to calculate and analyze the temperature distribution of different layers of cable winding, as well as the temperature distribution and heat dissipation characteristics of different structures of the drum. The results show that three layers of cable winding is the best design. The lowest temperature of closed cylindrical drum is 70°C after heat dissipation, which has obvious advantages compared with the lowest temperature of 85° after heat dissipation of squirrel-cage cylindrical drum. The results provide a reliable theoretical basis for the research and development of a new type of mine cable winding truck with 900 m cable capacity.
