Abstract—The agitator is a kind of general equipment that is widely used in industrial and agricultural production. It involves many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, rubber and coatings. All of which aim at obtaining homogeneous materials, improving the service performance of materials or accelerating the reaction. Compared with the ordinary agitator, the planetary agitator has a wider agitating range. This article introduces the structure and working method of planetary wheel agitator. The mathematical model of the movement track of a point on the mixing shovel is established, an example model of planetary stirring is designed and verified by comparison between Adams software and MATLAB software. On the basis of this, the change law of motion trajectory and coverage rate is analyzed; In addition to this, the influence of speed ratio on speed distribution is analyzed by EDEM simulation, which provides reference for subsequent design improvement.
Index Terms—Planetary wheel, stirring equipment, motion trajectory, coverage.
