564 B.A. Lopatin and T.R. Khaziev / Procedia Engineering 129 ( 2015 ) 563 570 When using the cumulative method is difficult to ensure the safety of work in the field when cutting pipes. Damage to the pipes in the explosion, and possible structural changes of the pipe material are undesirable and unpredictable. In this regard, the greatest application received a cold method. In this case, mechanical cutting is done with a special machine equipped with a cutter or cutters. Currently, the most common are the car, where the cutting tool is used disc Millings [2, 3]. In Russia has used machine for cold cutting of tubes like "Volzhanka 3M". The machine is mounted on the tube and secured with a chain (Fig. 2 not shown) covering the tube. Securing the machine by means of tensioning devices, including tensioners, shock absorbers 1, lever 2 with tensioning sprocket 3 [4, 5]. Fig. 1. Cutter cumulative ring: 1 semicircle with high explosive; 2 holder; 3 castle; 4 electric detonator. Analysis of the MRI machine designs with mechanical drives showed that all machines have two major drawbacks: constant kinematic relationship; hand incut tools (milling). Permanent kinematic chain in a drive to move the machine, does not allow to adjust the cutting conditions, this leads to premature wear of the tool to increase the cutting forces. In the case of sudden tool breakage often occurs destruction of elements of the machine. Mechanical in feed tool is unsafe, because the operator carries out work in the cutting zone particularly dangerous is the first cut since in the pipeline may remain remnants of flammable oil. In view of the above, the aim is to develop and research the new machine design devoid of these shortcomings. The basis of the new machine design is the idea of exclusion tool breakage under overload and improve operator safety. Operating experience cutting machines such as MRI showed that the main problem in the process of cutting the pipe is insufficient tool life, which is often not enough for one cut pipes 1220 mm in diameter with a wall thickness of 30 mm. To increase tool life and elimination of breakage in construction proposed machine automatic adjustment of the cutting conditions, and in the case of a critical tool wear - light indication, signals the need for a tool change. The basis of the new machine design is the use of three independent electromechanical drives: the drive of rotation of the tool, the drive of movement of the machine and the drive of insertion tool in pipe. Kinematic scheme of the new machine design is shown in Fig. 3. the control system provides a consistent experience work drives machine. In the analysis of the kinematic scheme machines of a new design have been adopted by the engines of drive tool and move the machine on the tube. To drive the cutting of tool and movement were taken valve engines with the frequency of rotation of the shaft 200 min-1 and a power of 40 watts. The drive of the instrument rotation remained

Output parameters drive insertion of tool and move the machines in specified the technical regulations [6], which contains the value of the tool feed no more than 30 mm / min. The total gear ratio actuator to move the machine on the tube is i1 = 1923. From the experience of operation of machines is well known, that the filing the tool during plunging lower than when the moves along the pipe, and is about 15 mm / min. An important step is to analyze the loading drive of cutting and drive of movement. The drive movement has an impact of the following factors: the load on the milling cutter, machine weight and friction losses in the elements and components machines. Drive tool of insertion accepts only the load on the milling cutter during insertion. 2. An analysis of loading of drive insertion tool Fig. 2. Machine Cold cutting pipe "Volzhanka 3M".

The main component of cutting force in milling - circumferential force, P Z [7, 8]: x y u 10 CP t SZ B z PZ K q w MP, (1) D n where Cp coefficient in formula of the circumferential force P Z ;, y, u, q, w exponents in formula of the circumferential force P Z ; K MP the correction factor for the quality of the processed material. Radial force P Y [4]: P Y (0,4 0,6)P. (2) Z To determine the forces at the nodes of the machines of drive at point B is divided in two parts. To determine the power geared motor drive supply incision it was necessary to to evaluate the axial force of the screw incision mechanism P, which equals: P îñ 0 P Z(0,5 l2cos -l2cos(90 - )R Fr). (3) l cos Then torque. on the screw plunging is:.. 2 d P tg( ), (4) 2 where d - nominal diameter of the thread, lifting angle of the threads, the resulted friction angle. Required power motor - reductor is determined by the expression: P..., (5) where. the angular velocity of rotation the screw of mechanism plunging. To investigate the loading drive plunging using a mathematical editor VisSim were built graphics power demand (Fig. 5). The graphs show that when idling (the time interval from 0 to 30), the power consumption is constant, from the beginning of cutting to the end of cutting, the power consumption gradually increases (the time interval from 30 to 95 seconds) after which the actuator is stopped.

The analysis of external factors [5], showed that the drive power is: P. (6) P.p ZV where M ZV aggregate torque an asterisk drive of movement, the angular velocity of rotation an asterisk drive of movement. 3. Analysis of the load on the drive moving the machine along pipe Aggregate torque an asterisk drive of movement M ZV is the sum of the torques: TR torque from the friction forces in the kinematic pairs of friction units, Pyz torque from the cutting force P YZ, G torque from the weight of the machine G. Thus, torque is equal to: MZV MTR MPz M G. (7) Aggregate torque from the friction forces is calculated as the sum of the torque in friction sliding and rolling: (8) M N r f R k, TR i i where N i the normal force in a pair of sliding friction, r i the radius in a pair of sliding friction, f coefficient of sliding friction, R i strength in support rollers machines, k coefficient of rolling friction. As an example of a graph (Fig. 4, a).

Graphs of torques: friction torque M TR( ); b torque from the weight of the machine M G( ) The lowest value of the friction torque corresponds to the position machines at the bottom of the pipe, when the weight of the machine unloads the friction bearings (position at an angle 180 in Fig. 6 a). Torque to overcome the cutting forces is: M Pz P r, (9) Z where P z tangential cutting force; r f cutter radius. Significant impact on the movement of machines on the tube has its weight, the torque of the weight of machines changes sign depending on the angular position of the trumpet and is given by [9]: M G G sin r, (10) where G machine weight, r radius of the asterisk, angle of the machines on the tube. Torque by gravity machines Fig. 6, b. Such character generated due to the fact that the first half of the path weight of the machine facilitates movement machines, and the second half - interferes with. The set of expressions (6) - (10) to determine the required drive power move. On the basis of studies conducted in the work, it was manufactured laboratory prototype of a new design machines Fig. 7 [10]. Test sample confirmed the efficiency of the new construction of the machine.
