According to the theory and method of topological design for parallel mechanisms based on azimuthal characteristic equations, a 3-DOF parallel mechanism with alternately used moving platforms was designed. The mechanism generated two output motion modes by swapping the moving platform. The characteristics of the mechanism such as topological characteristics, kinematics performance, and dynamics performance were analyzed and calculated under two different modes. Topological characteristics were composed of position and orientation characteristics, degrees of freedom, and coupling degree. Kinematics performances were composed of symbolic forward and inverse position solutions, workspace, and singularity. Dynamics performances were composed of driving force variations. Then, the dimensional parameters of the mechanisms were subjected to an optimal design with the goal of achieving a reachable workspace. Finally, a conceptual design was conducted for the application scenario of using the mechanisms in automated object packaging productions.
笔者根据基于方位特征(position and orientation characteristic,POC)方程的并联机构拓扑设计理论设计了一种具有双动平台的可轮换用动平台并联机构[12],并对该机构在这两种模式下的拓扑学、运动学、动力学性能进行了完整的分析,并给出了应用场景设计。
1 可轮换用动平台并联机构的拓扑设计和分析
可轮换用动平台并联机构(PM with alternately used moving platforms, AMP-PM)在不改变机构拓扑结构的前提下,使用同一主机构的不同输出构件依次充当动平台来实现模式切换和输出。生产线在不同工艺操作阶段换用动平台依次输出3T1R和3T两种模式的运动,可大大节约主装备的设计、制造、运行成本,以及整机的安装空间。
