大射电望远镜新构型的结构优化设计、虚牵索的抑制分析及风致振动实验研究

大射电望远镜馈源柔索支撑系统是一类大跨度柔索并联机器人(WDPR)。为了抑制悬索虚牵和馈源舱的风致振动,提出了在此机器人的动平台上增加盛液容器的结构新方案。首先,运用Guldin定理确定轮胎状附加容器中液体体积在并联机器人的不同俯仰角度处的静态分布规律,进而建立此机构的力学模型;其次,建立WDPR非线性两层优化模型,并应用遗传算法获得LT500 m附加容器结构的优化参数;最后,从数值分析和实验两种途径分别检验新方案克服悬索虚牵和抑制风振的效果。分析与实验结果表明与原构型相比,该结构方案能够抑制悬索的虚牵和风致振动。

Unilateral self-locking mechanism for inchworm in-pipe robot

A unilateral self-locking mechanism(USM) was proposed to increase the tractive ability of the inchworm in-pipe robots for pipeline inspection.The USM was basically composed of a cam,a torsional spring and an axis.The self-locking and virtual work principles were applied to studying the basic self-locking condition of the USM.In order to make the cooperation between the crutch and telescopic mechanism more harmonical,the unlocking time of the USM was calculated.A set of parameters were selected to build a virtual model and fabricate a prototype.Both the simulation and performance experiments were carried out in a pipe with a nominal inside diameter of 160 mm.The results show that USM enables the robot to move quickly in one way,and in the other way it helps the robot get self-locking with the pipe wall.The traction of the inchworm robot can rise to 1.2 kN,beyond the limitation of friction of 0.497 kN.
