Co-simulation on Automatic Pouring of Truck-mounted Concrete Boom Pump

摘要

A concept of automatic concrete pouring of truck-mounted concrete boom pump was presented and discussed. Then the concrete pouring process and the kinematics of the boom sections were analyzed, including the inverse kinematics problem. Transient dynamic analysis was performed to validate the impact of new control system on the boom base on the flexible body co-simulation between ANSYS and ADAMS. A 3D simulation was programmed to imitate the process of automatic pouring and verify the control algorithm. The simulation result shows that the system can pour concrete on a long narrow field automatically, and the boom''s movement is smooth.
