Design and Analysis of a Climbing Mechanical Appliance

Article Preview

Abstract:

Current climbing appliances are difficult to ensure the steady change from walking to climbing. Consequently, we come up with a climbing mechanical appliance, design it and analyze the appliance on rationality and feasibility. The appliance is lifted by rack and pinion mechanism. In order to ensure smooth and steady movement of the appliance, a counterweight balancing mechanism is designed to adjust the centroid according to actual situation. Through the movement principle analysis of transmission mechanism for the appliance, we build its 3D model by SolidWorks. A simulation analysis has also been provided to examine the feasibility of transmission mechanism under the help of ADAMS.
