Interruption performance design of variable freedom mechanism triggered by electro-mechanical-magnetic coupling

Abstract

Coupling mechanism plays an important role in transmitting, motivating and actuating mechanical functions. However, it is difficult to obtain the transient dynamics performance of mechanism with variable degree of freedom precisely. Therefore, an interruption performance design method of variable freedom mechanism triggered by electro-magneto-thermo coupling is put forward. The Euler-Lagrange partial differential equations of variable freedom mechanism are built using generalized coordinates. Degree of freedom reduction rules are proposed to merge transformation or rotation constraints and obtain the total degrees of freedom of variable freedom mechanism at each transient status. Bivariate interpolating is employed to determine the electro-mechanical-magnetic coupled Lorentz force. Dynamics performance is simulated by iteration of linear algebraic equations using implicit predictor-corrector integration method. The design parameters such as stiffness and pre-tightening force of trigger spring, permissible dimension deviations and hole-shaft fit tolerance are determined and improved using the sensitivity analysis of simulation results. The pneumatic mechanical endurance and thermal infrared temperature rise experiments are accomplished to determine the infrared radiation energy distribution and transient working status of components. It gives an auxiliary thermo-visual approach for transient performance design of coupling mechanism.
