Simulation Research of Five-Bar Pneumatic Clamping Mechanism
For being convenient for researching the force transmission characteristic and the improvement and use of five-bar pneumatic clamping mechanism, for improving the dynamic work efficiency, for reducing energy consumption, the three-dimensional solid model of the mechanism was established with ADAMS. Each part of the model in ADAMS was set up. Simulation analysis on the working process of the mechanism was achieved. The structure optimization parameters of the mechanism were obtained. The result proves that the vertical location of revolute joint of pneumatic rotary actuator and rocker, the locations of revolute joint of pneumatic rotary actuator and frame have less impact on the maximum driving force of pneumatic rotary actuator. The horizontal location of pneumatic rotary actuator and rocker, the locations of revolute joint of rocker and frame, the locations of revolute joint of link and block have greater impact on the maximum driving force of pneumatic rotary actuator.
