Fault Tree Analysis on Hydraulic System Causing Fire of Heavy Self-Dumping Truck

Abstract:

The fire accident of heavy mineral self-dumping truck is one of the most serious disaster in mine safety production. Research on the reasons that cause fire accident is an important study for ensuring safety production. By analyzing three elements that constitute self-dumping truck fire accident, the characteristics and easy ignition points as well as major combustion parts of self-dumping truck fire accident, we confirm that the hydraulic system leakage is the major factor that causes fire. To find out the fault reason of hydraulic system oil leakage, we analyze the composition and working principle of self-dumping truck, establish leakage fault tree of hydraulic system. Based on logic relationships between each fault and fire, we get the following conclusion: hydraulic tubing damage is the highest probability event that causes oil leakage fault. In addition, we should pay attention to spare parts management factor, correct driving factor and equipment management factor. We also propose the prevention measures of leakage and fire
