Optimal Design of the Rubber Chain Attached Board Used in Steel Wire Knitting Machine Based on ANSYS Workbench

Abstract:

The role, principle and characteristics of the rubber chain attached board used in steel wire knitting machine were analyzed in this paper. A new kind of attached board with reasonable structure was designed through comparison of several design schemes. Eventually, through finite element analysis and size optimization design based on Workbench, the structure size of attached board was optimized and the whole strain, the maximum equivalent stress and the minimum safety factor were calculated. At the same time, new design ideas are also provided for the development of steel wire knitting machine to save materials and reduce cost.
