Abstract: The objective of this study was for development of cassava transporting equipment installed on a truck. The study process was divided into 2 steps: 1) The study of cassava harvesting and transporting to the truck pattern by farmers practice today and 2) preliminary study of transporting cassava by using additional conveying device in order to reduce time and labor for the overall harvest system. Results in step 1 indicated that the pattern of cassava harvesting consisted of four main steps : tillage, heap compiling, stem cutting and cassava transporting to the truck. The most time consuming step was the transporting of cassava to the truck. The cassavas transporting to the plant normally had to be completed within one day. The consequently, cassava transporting was considered to be the bottle-neck problem of cassava harvest system. Result from the study in step 2, which was preliminary study of using a conveying device attached to the truck to reduce time and labor indicated that a working capacity of 1.44 rai/hour was obtained, being 3.13 time higher than the usual manual labor method.

Abstract: The wheeled mobile robot has been widely used in various fields nowadays. Combining with a contest of mobile robot used for sorting and conveying objects, this paper designed a non-tracking wheeled mobile robot, which can move according to a reasonable route planned beforehand. First, the overall schematic design of mobile robot was introduced. Then the mechanical design and the circuit system design were discussed in detail. Last, the strategy of sorting and conveying was studied, and the innovative rotary-wheel mechanism can greatly simplify the sorting and conveying strategy. Through experiment verified, the proposed wheeled mobile robot can quickly achieve sorting and conveying according to preplanned paths.

Abstract: The bed stiffness and install angle of the separator were determined by experiment. The high stiffness distributor with 6.5° reverse angle is suitable. Heavy product conveying velocity and efficiency were investigated at various air flows and throwing indexes. The results show air flow and throwing index have significant effect on velocity and efficiency in the conveying. When the conveying time was 20s, with the increasing of air flow and throwing index, the velocity and efficiency improved accordingly. Accordingly, when the conveying time was up to 40s, the efficiency tended to be stable and was above 90%.

Abstract: This article describes one of production lines of automatic control in ore production, which consists of feeding, crushing and conveying equipments and so on. It elaborates the composition and process of the entire system. According to control requirements in this system, electrical control system is designed, which chooses PLC as the core component of it, including hardware circuit and software programming. Furthermore, some anti-interference measures are taken in order to improve the reliability of the system.

Abstract: Among all the bulk conveying processes, how to effectively and conveniently put the bulk into the conveying process is regarded as one of the most important problems. This article brings out a brand-new equipment—Screw-gas Bulk Sucking and Taking Equipment for the solution, which applies both the theory of vertical screw conveyor and the theory of pneumatic handling. It constitutes of 3 parts; respectively from bottom to above they are: Centrifugal force Separating Part, Screw Lifting Part and Pneumatic Conveying Part. Particle material is drawn into the equipment in the form of gas-solid two-phase flow by the Atmospheric pressure, and then helically rises in the Centrifugal Force Separating Part which is an inverted cone. The material would be separated from the two-phase flow by the effect of centrifugal force and then be lifted in the Screw Lifting Part. The gas flow with the very little remained material would be drawn into the blower. By thus Screw-gas Bulk Sucking and Taking Equipment could take the material and put it to the next conveying process conveniently and efficiently with the superiorities of low clearing-up, little dust removal, simple construction and convenient maintenance. The article provides the feasibility of the new equipment by experiments on 3 kinds of identical particle.

Abstract: Conveying is the important part of product processes, which is significantly affected by product structures. Based on the point of conveying, appropriate design will be result in significant improving conveying performance and reducing the degree of automatic conveying difficulty, then equipment would be simplified, and investment reduced. The design strategies for allover include: reducing the parts quantity and variants, corresponding the part geometry with the conveying manner, and parts geometry convenient for checking and identifying. The methods include two situations: design for conveying in the machining process and design for conveying in the assembly process. Applications of parts design for automatic conveying are illustrated.
