Multiobjective optimization of the swing frame of a belt conveyor based on workbench

In response to the reliability of key components of transportation equipment and the difficulty in controlling welding deformation in coal mine, a local response surface model of the swing frame was constructed by using ANSYS Workbench finite element software, taking the swing frame of a belt conveyor used in coal mining tunnels as an example. A multi-objective optimization design was carried out on the structural size and thickness of the swing frame using a built-in professional optimization module Design Exploration, and design recommendations were provided. The results show that the optimized swing frame not only reduces the design weight, but also meets the structural strength requirements of the specifications, and has high economic and feasibility.
