The folding mechanism model is given by the feature based parametric design method based on the CAD secondary development technology. The dynamic reliability model is given by considering the uncertainty of geometry parameters of the folding mechanism. Based on the minimum transform method, the dynamic reliability analysis problem is simplified to the static reliability analysis problem. The reliability analysis of the folding time, maximum stress and mechanism life is made by the first order reliability method. The geometry parameters taken as design variables are used to minimize the mechanism mass and maximize the mechanism life, and the modified method of feasible directions is used to search the optimum design of the folding mechanism. The numerical results show that the minimum transform method' can improve the reliability analysis efficient and ensure the analysis accuracy. Furthermore, comparisons with the traditional optimization method show that the reliability analysis method can significantly improve the reliability of the optimum design by reducing the performances of optimization objectives slightly.
