When diamond wire saw cuts circular arc, wire saw deflection angle will be formed due to resistance in the feed direction. If the bending is serious enough, the center of the circular plate will be cut excessively and leads to material scrap. In order to solve the problem, wire saw deflection angle is defined. The static measuring methodology of wire saw deflection angle was proposed. This methodology was based on cantilever type axis force sensor. Through the axis force sensor, voltage values were output and recorded to calculate wire saw deflection angle. Static measuring experiments were carried out in the physical equipment designed and built by authors. In the experiments, the steel rope was used to simulate diamond wire saw and created wire saw deflection angle. The static measuring experiments were carried out to study the relationship between the force of guide wheel and wire saw deflection angle. It was found that, the measured angle was close to the theoretical angle with the increase of initial tension within certain range. Therefore, when the edge of guide wheel whose axis assembles the force sensor is just contacted with steel cable, the wire saw deflection angle can be measured relative accurately by this method.

In order to know the performance difference of the modified face gears with helical pinion and spur pinion under the same power density better and choose a more suitable kind of face gear drive for high speed and heavy load conditions. Based on meshing theory, the tooth surface equations of the modified face gears with helical pinion and spur pinion were derived. The three-dimensional models of the modified face gears with helical pinion and spur pinion were built by CATIA. The finite element contact analysis method was used and the contact stress, bending stress and contact ratio were considered as performance indexes of the face gears to expand the research. Researches proved that the contact stress of modified face gear with helical pinion was much lower than that of modified face gear with spur pinion. The maximum contact stress was reduced by 16.3% in the case. The bending stress of modified face gear with helical pinion was much lower than that of modified face gear with spur pinion. The maximum bending stress was reduced by 32.4% in the case. The contact ratio of modified face gear with helical pinion was much higher than that of modified face gear with spur pinion. The contact ratio was increased by 10.3% in the case. So the transmission performance of the modified face gear with helical pinion is better than that of modified face gear with spur pinion under the same power density, the former is more suitable for the lightweight design under high speed and heavy load condition.

In order to research the dangerous section of the platform under different working conditions, the platform of down-the-hole drill sustained by one outrigger was analyzed minutely in mechanism and normal and ultimate conditions were defined. A mechanical model was established based on theory of mechanical balance and deformation compatibility condition. The platform was analyzed in statics by using software ANSYS. The maximum stress value,the maximum deformation value and part stress concentration area of the platform under each condition were revealed. The results indicated that the maximum stress value and the maximum deformation value under ultimate condition were higher than normal condition. Besides, the most part of the platform was in low-stress condition and could find out excessive areas in strength and it met the demand of design under condition. It provides reference for the optimization and improving of the platform structure.

By establishing the force model of push block mechanism in downhole blow-out preventer, he relationship between reacting force of push block to column with cone angle of push block and deformation amount of disc spring was analyzed. The strength of spline was checked. The rubber sleeves with different thickness and hardness were analyzed based on the finite element software. Meanwhile the indoor experiments of downhole blow-out preventer were carried out. Research results showed that when deformation amount of single disc spring was 0.2 mm and cone angle is 45°, reacting force of push block to column produced by single disc spring was 2.2 kN which was close to experimental value; when torque of drill string reached to 45 000 N·m, extrusion stress of spline was in the range of allowable stress. In the same compression and seal clearance, the wider width and the bigger the hardness of the rubber was, sealing ability was stronger. When the greater hardness of the rubber was, more pressure was needed to compress rubber. The researching achievement has certain significance for the design of downhole blow-out preventer.

A combination of the orifice was used in the counterbalance valve's spool, and the fitted characteristic curve of the open area was produced by the software of MATLAB. When the load pressure was changed, in order to achieve steady quantity of flow, the valve could control the displacement of the counterbalance valve's spool to adjust the flow area. The proposed design not only made the valve possess multi-level adjustment ability but also raised the sensitive nature of the load. To test the performance of the valve under actual application environment, the installation test was done on the concrete pump truck. The results showed that the control pressure was low, the consumption of the system's power was reduced, the sensitive nature of the load had a good performance, the boom ran smoothly, and the stability was improved.
