摘要: 以两种2R1T并联机构(文中称为机构A(Z3)、B)为研究对象,分析支链布局对机构姿态能力的影响。基于螺旋理论,运用运动/力传递指标求解两机构局部传递指标ITI、OTI及全局GTI。在此基础上,用数值方法,建立两机构定截面的优质传递姿态工作空间(good transmission orientational workspace, GTOW)模型。首先用经验尺寸绘制出两者边界姿态性能曲线,比较两者姿态能力,得出机构B姿态能力略好。然后,以许用传递指标[ηLTI]=0.7时的性能边界曲线的最大内切圆半径κGTOC最大化为优化目标,全局许用传递指标GTI和机构结构参数协调为约束条件,运用DE优化算法得到最优尺寸参数。以最优尺度参数绘制边界姿态性能曲线,优化后,机构A、B的姿态能力均有提高且机构B姿态能力比机构A姿态能力优良。由两机构优化姿态实力实例可得,变异Z3机构(机构B)姿态能力比Z3(机构A)优良,由此,也说明姿态能力会受支链排布的影响。Abstract: Two kinds of 2R1T parallel mechanisms (referred to as mechanisms A (Z3), B) are taken as research objects to analyze the influence of branch chain layout on the attitude capability of the mechanism. Based on the screw theory, the motion/force transfer indexes are used to solve ITI, OTI and GTI of the PMs. A numerical method is used to establish a good transmission orientational workspace (GTOW) model when given Z-direction value of the PMs. Firstly, the boundary orientational performance curves of the PMs are drawn with the empirical dimensions, and the orientational abilities of the PMs are compared. From the above conclusions, the orientation of the PM B is slightly better. Then, the maximum inscribed circle radius (referred to as κGTOC) of the performance boundary curve when the allowable transfer index [ηLTI] equals 0.7 is maximized as the optimization objective, the GTI and the PM’s structure parameter are coordinated as constraints, and the DE is used to obtain the optimal dimensional parameters of PMs. Finally, the boundary orientational performance curve is drawn with the optimal dimensional parameters. After optimized, the orientation of the PMs are increased by 2.65° and 2.04° respectively. According to the example of optimizing the orientational ability of the PMs, the orientational ability of the PM B is reduced by 0.15 compared with PM A, which indicates that the orientational abilities of the PMs are not much different, but the orientational ability is affected by the branch arrangement.
