Structure Optimization of the Small Arm of Feed Mechanism in the Rubber Mixing Production Line

Abstract:

In the rubber mixing production line, because of the traditional design method, the stiffness of the small arm of feed mechanism is usually not enough and the reserve of strength and weight is surplus. To solve the above problems, we optimized the arm structure with the optimization design module of the finite element analysis software. Based on the structure theory and optimization design theory, the three-dimensional model and the proper optimization model been established with the three-dimensional software and finite element analysis software. The total weight of the small arm is used as the objective of optimization and the dimensions of each parts is used as the design variables. Under the precondition of requirements of strength and stiffness, the optimal solution of these dimensions is figured out. Analysis shows that the method of structure optimization is feasible. This method provides an important reference for the optimization design of feed mechanism's small arm and similar parts.
