Advantages & Features
Long service life, efficient and reliable
On the premise of ensuring reliable strength, special high-strength steel is used for the main structure to achieve overall structural lightweighting. Special wear-resistant steel is used for wear-prone parts, with a calculated service life of up to 15 years. The product features stable operation, fast unloading, and durability, which can significantly reduce the impact load on locomotives. It is easy to maintain, ensuring stable, reliable production operation and efficient transportation.The low-wheel-pressure design significantly reduces operating costs
A multi-axle configuration with bogies is adopted for large-capacity mine cars, which effectively reduces the contact load between wheels and rails by approximately 40%. Combined with the forged wheel technology, this design can significantly extend the service life of rails and wheels, while greatly reducing spare parts consumption and operating costs.The entire vehicle is easy to maintain, and its spare parts are easy to replace
Durable wheels and maintenance-free integrated bearings are adopted on the mine car, ensuring high reliability. All wearing parts feature a modular design, making them easy to replace.Customized design with high adaptability
The entire product series (including mine cars and unloading stations) are independently developed by China ENFI and can be customized according to the specific conditions of mines and the personalized needs of clients. Relying on China ENFI’s comprehensive disciplinary configuration and expert resources, it can ensure compatibility with the mining process plans of mines.Multiple additional functions are available as options
An integrated design solution for unmanned driving control systems adapted to rail transport can be provided; it also supports the selection of functional components suitable for unmanned transport, such as auxiliary station-passing devices and uncoupling detection devices.Product safety and full-lifecycle services
The products have obtained the Mine Product Safety Mark Certification (KA Certification) and provide professional management throughout the entire service life of the equipment as well as comprehensive after-sales services.
Working Principle
1. Low wheel pressure design
The design concept of the mine car adopts a lightweight carriage and a steerable underframe. By enhancing the body strength, reducing the turning radius, and implementing other measures, it effectively lowers the risk of rail gnawing and minimizes derailment accidents, thereby ensuring the long service life and stable operation of the mine car.
2. Digital simulation technology and equipment virtual prototype By applying digital simulation technology, optimization design simulations are conducted for a variety of extremely harsh working conditions, and stress analysis is performed on the mine car's underframe and carriage during full-load operation and loading impact processes. This ensures that the entire vehicle does not experience excessive deformation or cracking, and guarantees that the mine car will not suffer permanent deformation when subjected to the impact of the maximum ore free fall during ore loading. Through customized CAE full-process simulation for application scenarios, the mine car is enabled to achieve reasonable lightweight design while possessing excellent structural rigidity and adaptive dimensions. The virtual prototype technology is adopted in the design of curved rails to ensure that the spatial curved surface of the curved rails perfectly fits the dumping wheels during the ore dumping process, with no additional torque generated.
3. Multi-body dynamics analysis and discrete element simulation Multi-body dynamics technology is used to verify the ore unloading process in the unloading station, ensuring the force balance of the curved rails, as well as a smooth, stable, continuous and residue-free unloading process. The maximum opening-closing angle of the mine car can reach 60 degrees. Discrete element simulation is used to simulate abnormal scenarios where a large number of large-sized ores are present. Based on the simulation results and combined with practical experience, the unloading angle and unloading curve are optimized to ensure no ore jamming occurs.
