2014, 33(11): 1609-1613. doi: 10.13433/j.cnki.1003-8728.2014.1101
Abstract:
A point-vector-blending interpolation method in five-axis machining is studied for meeting the requirement of the CNC development and afterward machining experiments. A double curve interpolation method based on Hermite polynomial interpolation algorithm is proposed in this paper. Though the kinematics analysis,the posture transformation and joint drive parameters of the parallel power head are discussed for interpolation. Point sets are established according to the information provided by NC codes,the linear interpolation is utilized to estimate the vector direction on every point,and the coarse interpolation is accomplished by using the Hermite algorithm. The simulations are implemented by considering the motion pattern,and results prove that the double curve interpolation algorithm can achieve better position and pose precision. Compared with the linear interpolation and the plane vector interpolation method,the double curve interpolation method satisfies the demand of the development of CNC and machining experiments.

Abstract:
To improve the lubrication performance in radial clearance of gear addendum in external gear pumps,the eccentric design method of gear pairs relative to the center of pump case was put forward to strengthen dynamic pressure lubrication effect in the radial clearance. Based on comprehensive consideration of the relative factors such as pump case deformation and the decentraction of shaft and bearing,under the combination effect of differential pressure and dynamic pressure in the radial clearance,the leakage rate through the radial clearance from discharge side of pump to suction side was calculated; and from the minimized condition of the leakage rate,the eccentric distance of gear pairs relative to the center of pump case was derived. All results showed that the higher the rotating speed was,the smaller the eccentric distance was,then the smaller the leakage rate was,so the more obvious the increased volumetric efficiency of pump was; the greater the discharge pressure was,the bigger the eccentric distance was,so the bigger the leakage rate was,then the less obvious the increased volumetric efficiency was,and so on. Finally,the important conclusion is drawn that the dynamic lubrication effect improvement obtained by the eccentric distance is more obvious.

The sensitivity of parameters is verified by comparing the traditional spring-back variation model without lap width. Finally,a case of rectangular sheet metal assembly was used to reveal the effectiveness of the assembly variation model.

Reducing the transverse area of hole is beneficial to increase the transverse equivalent modulus of elasticity. Finally,the numerical results are verified by experiments,the results show that some errors exist in FEM simulation results.

Abstract:
Modern aircraft landing gears are generally designed to be retractable to reduce the air resistance while flying. The nose landing gear emergency lowering system of a certain passenger aircraft failed to lock in some tests.Aiming at this problem,mechanical equilibrium equations of the extending-retracting mechanism and the gear-door linkage were set up for theoretical analysis. A virtual prototype of emergency lowering system for dynamics analysis was established with LMS Virtual. Lab /Motion to figure out the effect of external loads on the lowering process. The simulation results indicate that the aerodynamic force of front doors extremely prevents the landing gears from emergency lowering near the end of the whole trip. Using this analysis as a foundation,a door emergency disconnection mechanism was put forward. The dynamics model of the scheme was established and the feasibility of the scheme was validated through simulation.
