Study on Optimal Design of Case Ejector Mechanism of Tank Autoloader Based on Kinematical Simulation

摘要

To make optimal design of case ejector mechanism easier and more efficiency, a novel method based on kinematical simulation and combining modern computer technology with the features of traditional linkage design is presented. By analyzing transmission state of double-rocker mechanism of ejector, establishing a kinematical simulation model and determining the appropriate data of the mechanism, a designer could easily design a case ejector satisfying all the requirements on movement or trajectory in the given conditions. Meanwhile, the transmission factor of the mechanism is highly increased. The results from optimal design of the case ejector of certain type of tank show that the transmission factor of the mechanism is increased by 58.4%.
