Abstract

In the process of continuous high-strength operation of the harvester, structure aging, surface hardening, brittle fracture, and other features appear on V-belt due to temperature rise, which seriously affects the service life of the belt and stability of the whole machine. To predict the temperature distribution of V-belt and improve its service life, an advanced calculation method of temperature field suitable for multiwheel is proposed. First, on the basis of analysing the heat source of the transmission belt, the values of internal friction and external friction are calculated based on AVL Excite Timing Drive (AVL Excite TD). Secondly, two-dimensional temperature field finite element calculation model is established by analysing the heat balance equation, determining the heat flow distribution coefficient and heat convection conditions. Then, to verify the calculation model of the temperature field, the experimental setup and instrumentation are built based on Controller Area Network-bus (CAN-bus) technology. At last, multi-condition tests are designed in this paper. The experiment results show that the maximum difference between the model calculated value and experiment is 4.77 ℃ in unsteady state, and 0.15 ℃ in steady state. Therefore, the multiwheel V-belt temperature field calculation model developed in this paper can realize the accurate calculation of the temperature field under steady state conditions. It has a very important guiding significance for reasonable selection of operating parameters and improvement of service lifetime of belt.
