Optimization Design for Luffing Mechanism of Portal Slewing Crane

Abstract:

This paper conducts a comprehensive study on the optimization design for luffing mechanism of portal slewing crane. First, displacement formulae are derived of crampon hinge point of the luffing mechanism. Secondly, mathematical model is established for luffing mechanism optimization design of portal slewing crane, according to the mechanism characteristics, and, with an aim of making crampon hinge end point to move horizontally, and of satisfying the value of maximum and minimum amplitude, and of saving material, etc. Finally, program of optimization design is compiled for the luffing mechanism of portal slewing crane. The luffing mechanism of M4022 portal slewing crane is optimized, and the optimization result is satisfactory. This paper makes it possible to obtain not only each rod length and cross-section area, but also obtain the counterbalance weight and the each rod maximum force of the luffing mechanism.
