Experiment and Analysis on Chaotic Characteristics Vibration Mill with Variable Rotational Speed.

In an attempt to improve the current low efficiency and high consumption situation of vibration mills, this paper analyses the chaotic motion characteristics of the system and the movement of vibration mill. The complex stiffness-dispersion coupling of the system is also studied, so as to investigate the effect of the system’s chaotic motion characteristics on the efficiency improvement and energy consumption reduction. Based on the ADAMS software, this paper establishes a simplified vibration mill mechanical model, analyzes the singularity and stability of the system, and determines the critical speed at which the vibration motor becomes chaotic according to the bifurcation diagram. Then the chaotic state of the grinding machine with sinusoidal variation in its motor speed is studied based on the Poincaré principle, singular attractor and maximum Lyapunov exponent. Lastly, a 200[Formula: see text]h vibration test on diamond powder with an average particle size of 10 [Formula: see text]m was carried out. Test results under the two operating conditions of variable and constant speeds are compared and analyzed. Our results show that with variable speed the vibration mill achieved higher grinding efficiency but smaller particle grain size. The research elaborated in this paper provides a valuable reference for the engineering application of the chaotic characteristics of vibration mill.
