Design and Simulation Analysis of a New-style Constant Velocity Universal Joint

摘要

Investigations on the RPSPR mechanism have been carried out by using mathematical means,such as local Coordinate system,coordinate conversion,direction cosine matrix etc.A constant-velocity (CV) spatial RPSPR mechanism was presented under certain geometry.The preliminary design of this mechanism was conducted in Pro/E software environment.Furthermore,the kinematic simulation was performed in ADAMS software environment based on the obtained assembly model.The transmission characteristics thereof are discussed in light of the gained results providing a theoretical basis for the new-style joint development.
