Conveyors cause a high serious and fatal injuries in the industry. Every year people are hurt or killed as a result of accidents on conveyors. Most accidents occur during operation and maintenance when employees are working on moving, unguarded conveyors or when the conveyors starts unexpectedly. In 2008 there were 486 reported injures ranging from fatalities to injures. Of these 486 reported accidents, 8 were fatalities, 66.9%(325) of reported accidents occurred in manufacturing company and 43.8%(213) occurred at the belt conveyors. The objective of this study was to invent the remote emergency stop device because industrial accidents mainly occur at blind spots where usually do not have any safety guard or device rather than the normal working places. In principle, this new device will use with the existing safety system. Then, it will be powerful safety system for preventing injuries related with conveyors.

Due to corrosion, a large number of belt conveyors support structure in industrial plants have deteriorated. Severe corrosion may result in collapse of the structures. Therefore, practical and effective structural assessment techniques are needed. In this paper, damage identification methods based on two specific local vibration modes, named periodic and isolated local vibration modes, are proposed. The identification methods utilize the facts that support structures have many identical members repeated along the belt conveyor and there exist some local modes within a small frequency range where vibrations of these identical members are much larger than those of the other members. When one of these identical members is damaged, this member no longer vibrates in those modes. Instead, the member vibrates alone in an isolated mode with a lower frequency. A damage identification method based on frequencies comparison of these vibration modes and another method based on amplitude comparison of the periodic local vibration mode are explained. These methods do not require the baseline measurement records of undamaged structure. The methods is capable of detecting multiple damages simultaneously. The applicability of the methods is experimentally validated with a laboratory model and a real belt-conveyor support structure.

According to the considerable increase of the length of belt conveyors, the dynamic analysis of systme becomes necessary to consider the variation of tensions and transient motion of components during starting and stopping of conveyor. The mathematical model of system is derived using the lumped parameter method. The input driving force is represented with two functions of time and pulley speed to count the characteristics of motor and fluid coupling. An example system was studied with 14 km in the distance of carrying. At head, it has two drivers and one gravity take-up and at tail ond driver and one power winch take-up. In the example, the transient tensions and responses, calculated using two cases of driving force, are mutually compared in starting mode. Also, the position of maximum tension and the braking force of take-up are obtained in stopping mode.

본 논문에서는 대형화되고 기업화되어가고 있는 국내 축산농가를 위한 AGV와 스크류컨베이어 기반의 자동 소사료 공급시스템에 대해 소개한다. 제안된 자동 소사료 공급시스템은 최상단에 펠렛형 혼합 사료가 적재되는 호퍼부, 호퍼부에서 펠렛형 혼합사료를 배출부로 이송시키는 스크류컨베이어를 장착한 이송부, 벨트컨베이어로 구성된 배출부 및 시스템 이동을 위한 전자 유도선 주행방식의 AGV로 구성되어있다. 적재된 사료 무게는 이송부의 하부에 위치한 로드셀에 의해 측정된다. 개별 우사 셀에 설치되는 RFID TAG에 미리 저장된 사료 배출정보를 시스템이 읽어 정해진 양만큼의 사료를 시스템이 주행하면서 배출하게된다. 공급 배출 테스트시스템을 제작하여 사료의 공급 능력을 결정짓는 사료 이송부의 스크류 외경, 스크류 샤프트 외경, 스크류 피치 간격 등을 포함하는 스크류컨베이어 설계인자 도출을 하였으며 도출된 설계인자들을 최종 공급시스템 제작 시에 적용하였다. 사료 급이시스템을 제어하기 위해 DSP기반의 주제어기 및 공급시나리오에 따른 급이알고리듬도 함께 개발되었다. 실험을 통해 국내 우사에 사료공급조건을 만족시키기 위해 설정된 목표인 5 m의 거리를 0.1 m/sec의 속도로 주행하면서 7 마리가 수용되는 한 개의 우사에 필요한 총 21 kg의 사료를 초당 420 g으로 균일하게 공급이 가능함을 확인하여 개발된 축우용 무인사료공급시스템이 규격화된 국내 축산농가에 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Development of radish collectors may enhance radish production and promote upland crop mechanization in the Republic of Korea. Theoretical analysis of power is crucial to ensure the optimum design of agricultural machinery. The aim of the present study is to analyze theoretically the power requirement of a tractor-mounted radish collector under development and to propose design guidelines. The important components of the radish collector were belt-type conveyors, three hydraulic motors, and a direct current (DC) winch motor to operate the total radish collecting process. Theoretical equations were used to calculate the hydraulic motor's power, winch motor power, and draft power at loaded and unloaded conditions. A variety of tractors (44 - 74 kW) and different soil characteristics (hard, firm, tilted, and sandy) were considered to investigate the appropriate drawbar power. Variations of the power requirement of the tractor-mounted radish collector were observed due to modifications of the design parameters. The required hydraulic power of the stem cutting conveyor, stem cutting blade, and transfer conveyor of the radish collector were 0.23 and 0.24, 0.18 and 0.19, and 0.19 and 0.22 kW under unloaded and loaded conditions, respectively. The maximum draft power was calculated as 0.89, 1.07, 1.25, and 1.61 kW at a 30° tilted angle for hard, firm, tilted, and sandy soil, respectively. The calculation showed 2.07 kW DC power was required for unfolding or folding the stem-cutting conveyor. A maximum power of 4.78 kW was prescribed for conducting the whole process of the tractor-mounted radish collector. The analysis of power introduced in this study will be helpful to select the appropriate design parameters for the successful development of a tractor-mounted radish collector.
