Design and Research of Synchronous-Style Clamping Mechanism for Cable-Detecting Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cable-detecting robot can replace human to accomplish various dangerous works. Comparing with labor practices, the robot not only reduce costs greatly but also guarantee the safety of workers. Thus, it is of broad application prospects. To assure the reliable action of the robot on the rope, a synchronous-style plane for clamping mechanism was proposed in this paper. According to the operation requirements of the robot, design criterion of clamping-force of this lock-mechanism was prompted. Utilizing 3D modeling software Pro/E, simulation model of synchronous clamping mechanism was built. And then displacement curve, velocity curve and acceleration curve will be obtained from the clamping mechanism output.
