Simulation of Spraying Trajectory Optimization for Helmet

Abstract:

Basis on a series of investigation and study, the rotation speed of helmet, the moving speed of spraying gun and spraying angle are of greater impact on the final spraying qualities than others. The spraying process of helmet is simulated with UG NX. After analysis for the spraying trajectories, the optimal speed of the helmet rotation and spraying gun movement are obtained. There are several coating thickness deposition model with a wide range of applications, such as the Gaussian model, finite range model, and β distribution model. Using MATLAB to test the path of the spraying, according to the simulation and adjusting the speed of helmet's rotation and gun's movement, the desired spraying result has achieved. In addition, users can know the approximate results before spraying.
