Abstract

The problem that describes the movement of a particle along a helical surface is used in the design of spiral separators. Modeling the motion of a material particle on helical surfaces and its investigation by modern methods of numerical integration and visualization makes it possible to obtain a real picture of motion in the absence of full-scale models of such surfaces. This makes it possible to search for helical surfaces to improve their operational characteristics.

The purpose of the study was to establish the regularity of the movement of a material particle along an oblique helicoid depending on the structural parameters of the surface.

The oblique helicoid has two design parameters - the pitch h and the angle  b of the inclination of the rectilinear generating surfaces to the horizontal plane. With the help of these parameters, there are more opportunities to influence the nature of the movement of a particle along an oblique helicoid compared to a helical conoid and a wide helicoid.

The differential equations of motion of a material particle on the surface of an oblique helicoid under the action of its own weight were formulated. The equations are solved by numerical methods. The obtained results were visualized

It has been established that the movement of a material particle with a known coefficient of friction along the surface of an oblique helicoid can be ensured at a given distance from its axis by combinations of structural parameters of the surface. At the same time, the resolution of the surface during the separation of particles with different friction coefficients practically does not change. However, in the transition period (before the stabilization of the motion), there is a significant difference in the trajectories of particle motion, which increases as the angle of inclination of the rectilinear generating surfaces decreases. This gives reason to consider material separation at the stage of the transition period, which requires further theoretical and experimental research.

Key words: oblique helicoid, material particle, trajectory of motion
