Dynamics modelling and analysis of a large-load swinging platform
Abstract Swing platform is widely used to simulate the motion attitude of vehicles, ships and aircraft while carrying large loads. Aiming at the excessive driving force and output power of the driving parts caused by the large load swing platform, a new swing platform which can bear the large load was established. The swing platform is equipped with four spring branch chains between the moving platform and the static platform of the 6-UPS parallel mechanism, so as to offset the gravity of the large load and the inertia force of the large load in the process of motion, and the driving force of each branch chain is reduced. In this paper, the structure of the swing platform is introduced, and the dynamics of the swing platform is modeled using the Newton-Euler dynamics equation. Finally, the driving force of each branch chain of the swing platform is obtained by simulation of the dynamics of the swing platform. The simulation results show that the swing platform with four spring branch chains can effectively reduce the driving force of each branch chain compared with the traditional 6-UPS parallel mechanism swing platform.
