Development of circumference oscillation mechanism with adjustable amplitude
According to the situation of the currently developed circumference oscillation mechanism without adjustable amplitude generally. The circular oscillation mechanism with adjustable amplitude is designed. It mainly comprises an eccentric motion mechanism and adaptive dynamic balance mechanism. The dynamic simulation and analysis is carried out on eccentric motion mechanism. The experimental results show it can achieve 0-Φ50mm adjustable amplitude and 20-350RPM adjustable oscillation frequency in the meantime, and the latter can be realized by changing eccentricity adjusting pin manually. The unbalance quality of the table can be compensated by adaptive dynamic balance mechanism in order to increase the die life. Its amplitude can be changed simply, conveniently and fast, and has the characteristics of simple and compact mechanism, rigid connection, strong bearing capacity and maintenance easily. It will be widely used in the field of biological engineering.
ADAMS kinematics simulation of series-parallel robot based on UG
On the basis of the peculiar transformation relationship inside the multi-entity modeling software,and by means of Pro/E and UG to establish the geometrical entity model of series-parallel robot.The kinematic pair of robot was defined inside the UG and the specially designated program was worked out in ADAMS.The reverse kinematic characteristics of upper and lower platforms of mechanism under specialized structural forms were dynamically simulated.The kinematics simulation result of mechanism under given conditions was reflected synthetically by the use of 3D dynamic film frame and planar curve diagram.
A comparison of experimental thermal stratification parameters for an oil/pebble-bed thermal energy storage (TES) system during charging
Six different experimental thermal stratification evaluation parameters during charging for an oil/pebble-bed TES system are presented. The six parameters are the temperature distribution along the height of the storage tank at different time intervals, the charging energy efficiency, the charging exergy efficiency, the stratification number, the Reynolds number and the Richardson number. These parameters are evaluated under six different experimental charging conditions. Temperature distribution along the height of the storage tank at different time intervals and the stratification number are parameters found to describe thermal stratification quantitatively adequately. On the other-hand, the charging exergy efficiency and the Reynolds number give important information about describing thermal stratification qualitatively and should be used with care. The charging energy efficiency and the Richardson number have no clear relationship with thermal stratification.
