Structure Analysis of Inner Cylinder Components of Drum Washing Machine Based on Ansys/Workbench

Abstract:

The structure of inner cylinder component of drum washing machine has a critical impact on its working performance and service life, as a result, the structure analysis of the drum assembly (spider and main shaft) is chosen to be the research object in this paper. As the three-dimensional model is established by PRO/E, the structure intensity characteristic has been analyzed with the method of finite element analysis which is based on software Ansys/Workbench. According to the stress distribution characteristic, the maximum stress value that the spider has been bearing can be contrasted and analyzed with different load which can make sure the periodic properties of structure loads. The analysis and optimization method based on Ansys/Workbench provided a new thought which had the guiding significance for the development of new products of drum washing machine.
