Thermal Deformation Analysis of a Magnetic Climbing Wall Car Frame Based on the ANSYS

Abstract:

In order to ensure the magnetic wall-climbing car which is applied to installation and maintenance of wind power work normally, the ambient temperature will cause the formation of "expansion and contraction", to avoid that affects the accuracy and performance of the equipment, thermal deformation analysis of its frame should be conduct. Using ANSYS to carry on the finite element analysis of the magnetic wall-climbing car frame. The material of the frame is steel 45, which have heat treated. That can get a better toughness, ductility and wear resistance. Then import the three-dimensional model of the frame to the ANSYS software, select the frame tetrahedral meshing method. Its first thermal analysis, and then add the static structural analysis. Solving the frame at-50°C, 50°C thermal deformation, the biggest overall deformation change between-0.89636mm and 0.34858mm. which less than one-thousandth of the maximum overall length is 1750mm of the frame, and meet the design requirements.
