State analysis of the vital steel structure of the bucket-wheel reclaimer operators’ cabin after the breakdown and the rehabilitation
In this paper the state analysis of the vital steel structure of the bucket-wheel reclaimer DU2 operators' cabin, made of pipes of various diameters and thicknesses, after the breakdown caused by a rock that hit the horizontal support of the structure is presented. The rock was located in the excavated coal within a bucket of the bucket-wheel reclaimers. The horizontal support of the operators' cabin structure has bent and welded joints between flanges at the middle of the horizontal support, as well as welded joints at bonds of the horizontal support with vertical supports of the structure, have cracked due to the impact of the rock.
On the basis of state analysis after the temporary repair of damages the conclusion arose that for the permanent provision of integrity of the support steel structure of the bucket-wheel reclaimer DU-2 operators’ cabin as a whole it is necessary to replace
