摘要:Heavy operating conditions of mining machines as well as the high level of dynamic loads lead to reduction of their service life. The quantitative estimation of the machine reliability by one of the feature – service life – has become widely distributed in all the branches of engineering. Technical diagnosis is one of the important methods of improving the reliability in operating conditions. The diagnostics sub-system should provide for: non-destructive inspection of a technical condition of objects, the definition of sudden and parametric failures of mining machines and their systems, the detection of gradual failures by predicting changes in the monitored parameters, a continuous and periodic technical inspection. The obtained results given in this article prove the possibility of creating a group of common diagnostic criteria suitable for assessing the technical state of reducers of mining machines and equipment, but also being a prerequisite for the effective short-term prediction of the parameters under study when developing adaptive mathematical models.
