Analysis on influencing factors of load of ship chamber driving mechanism for rack-and-pinion ship lift
To address the unclear key factors affecting loads of the rack‑and‑pinion climbing‑type ship‑lift chamber driving mechanism
based on the collected historical operational data including ship‑chamber operation frequency
water depth inside the chamber
driving mechanisms and synchronizing shaft systems
variation rules of rack‑and‑pinion loads under different operating conditions of the ship‑lift were investigated.
Methods
2
A mechanical analysis and numerical calculation model for the ship‑chamber driving system was established based on data‑fitting results. Through statistical analysis
the influencing mechanisms of varying water‑depth conditions
operating modes and unbalanced loads among driving units on pinion loads were systematically revealed
and targeted countermeasures were formulated.
Results
2
The results show that the rack-and-pinion load during the uniform upward and downward movement of the ship chamber is mainly affected by the misladen water depth and the system frictional resistance. During the acceleration and deceleration stages
the inertial loads induced by the self-weight of the ship chamber and the rotating components in the system produce prominent peak values of the rack-and-pinion loads. There are significant deviations in the rack-and-pinion loads among drive units
which are basically unaffected by the operation process
operating conditions and overall load conditions of the ship lift
presenting a random distribution characteristic. Optimized control over pinion loads can be achieved through precise regulation of chamber water depth.
