Abstract:

Worm and worm gear is widely used in modern mechanical industry, it has a lot of advantages including large transmission ratio, compact structure, strong bearing capacity, stable transmission and self-locking performance etc. However, the kinematics characteristic is very important for the performance of equipment. So this article to the worm as the research object, which of the lifting mechanism in rail transport. First, making 3D modeling by Solid Edge V20, Then put the 3D model into the ADAMS, and start the kinematics simulation about transmission mechanism. This paper mainly simulates the angular velocity and angular acceleration of worm when its working, then comparing the change law of the motion curves, and analysis of the results. It can shorten design cycle, improve the design accuracy, reduce the cost of product development, and also create the conditions for the follow-up mechanism optimization and finite element analysis.
