Abstract

We carried out a series of linear cutting machine tests to assess the cutting performance of a pick cutter in sedimentary rock. The specimens were Linyi sandstone from China and Concrete (rock-like material, conglomerate). Using the small scaled LCM system, we estimated the cutter force and specific energy under different cutting conditions. The cutter forces (cutting and normal) increased with penetration depth and cutter spacing in two rock types, and it was affected by the strength of specimens. On the other hand, the ratio of the peak cutter force to the mean cutter force was influenced by cutting characteristic and composition of rock rather than rock strength. The cutting coefficient was affected by the friction characteristic between rock and pick cutter rather than the cutting conditions. Therefore, the optimal cutting angle can be determined by considering of cutting coefficient and resultant force of pick cutter. The optimum cutting condition was determined from the relationship between the specific energy and cutting condition. For two specimens, the optimum s/p ratio was found to be two to four, and the specific energy decreased with the penetration depth. The result from this study can be used as background database to understand the cutting mechanism of a pick cutter, also it can be used to design for the mechanical excavator.

본 연구에서는 퇴적층 암석에서 픽 커터의 절삭성능을 평가하기 위하여 선형절삭시험을 수행하였다. 중국에서 채취된 Linyi사암과 역암을 모사한 콘크리트를 시험체로 사용하였다. 소규모 선형절삭시험장비를 이용하여 다양한 절삭조건하에서 절삭조건에 따른 커터작용력과 비에너지의 변화양상을 평가하였다. 커터작용력은 두 가지 재료 모두에서 압입깊이와 커터간격이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고 재료의 강도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 최대작용력과 평균작용력의 비율은 재료의 강도에 영향을 받기 보다는 재료의 구성 물질과 절삭특성에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. 절삭계수는 암석과 픽 커터의 마찰 특성에 영향을 받으나 절삭조건에는 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 절삭계수와 픽 커터 작용력의 합력방향에 따라 암석의 특성을 고려한 최적의 절삭각도를 선정해야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 한편 절삭조건에 따른 비에너지의 변화양상으로부터 최적 절삭조건을 규명하였다. 두 가지 재료에서 최적 s/p비는 2~4 범위로 도출되었고, 압입깊이가 증가함에 따라 비에너지는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과는 픽 커터의 절삭메커니즘 규명을 위한 데이터베이스로 활용될 수 있으며, 픽 커터를 사용한 기계굴착장비의 설계에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
