The Overall Synthesis of Mechanical Configuration, Dimension and Performance Design Based on State Space Method

Abstract:

In order to study the qualitative and quantitative relationship of the configuration characteristics of motion / force transformation (transmission), the dimension and the performance of motion and force, this paper extends the configuration synthesis of mechanical system to the state space method for the integration synthesis of mechanism configuration, scale and performance. By defining the basic function / performance transformation mechanism, extracting the dual state vector of the input and output performance of mechanism unit, discussing the state space property of mechanism combination (system) including mechanism configuration subspace, mechanism dimension subspace, and performance transformation subspace of mechanism motion / force, and investigating the spatial measurement of mechanism motion / force transformation, the measurement model of mechanical system is established. The motion design of mechanical system is transformed into the problem of finding a connected path (or path planning problem) between two given vectors: input and output dual vector. Finally, an actual example is given to show the details.
