Electromechanical wave systems for mineral extraction

technologies of extraction, transportation and processing of viscous,
gaseous and bulk materials, including in mixed fractions, are
analysed. To solve the problem of efficient transport technologies, a
combination of electromagnetic effects with a bionic approach based
on the use of the principles of motion dynamics of dolphins, fish and
amphibians with a wave-like swimming method is proposed. The
purpose of the study is to develop a structural, object-oriented
mathematical model of a channel-type wave electromechanical
converter that provides transportation and processing of minerals in
liquid, viscous, gaseous and mixed fractions. It is noted that in this
case, the existing methods of development and calculation of
traditional electric drives are not suitable since the electromagnetic
core must have a different spatial arrangement and have a distributed
structure, the configuration of which is individual. The construction
of a structural bionic model of an electromechanical system is based
on the use of a system of travelling wave equations with fixed ends
and the principles of the genetic concept in electromechanics. By
directional application of genetic and geometric operators to flat and
cylindrical forms of electromagnetic field sources, populations of a
flow channel and combined structures connected to the ends of a
travelling wave are obtained. An object-oriented mathematical
model, methodology and algorithm for calculating a multi-motor
electromechanical converter integrated into the design of a transport
wave system have been developed. The optimal ratios of copper and
steel of the electromagnetic core, the geometric dimensions of the
flow channel and the number of switched electromagnetic modules
providing energetically efficient generation of a travelling wave in
the channel are established. The study's theoretical significance lies
in the fact that the results obtained can be used in the development of
technologies and the design of devices for the transportation and
processing of liquid, viscous, gaseous, bulk materials and mixed
fractions in the mining industry and in other areas.
