摘要:
A novel 4-UPS-RPS high-speed spatial 5-Degree of freedom parallel robot was proposed. The stationary platform of the parallel robot is connected with the moving platform by the same four UPS (universal joints-prismatic pairs-spherical joints) driving limbs and a RPS (revolution joints-prismatic pairs-spherical joints) driving limb. In order to grasp the dynamic characteristics of 4-UPS-RPS high-speed spatial parallel robot, and privide the important theoretical base of the optimization design and the system control for 4-UPS-RPS parallel robot, the rigid-flexible coupled dynamics modeling and analysis for the parallel robot were realized. The rigid-flexible virtual prototype of 4-UPS-RPS parallel robot was constructed by the united application of CAD, CAE and visual technologies while the driving limbs and spherical joints were treated as flexible bodies, the moving platform, stationary platform and other joints of parallel robot were treated as rigid bodies. Based on the rigid-flexible virtual prototype, the dynamic behaviors, including kinematics output response, dynamic stress of driving limbs and natural frequency, were obtained. The simulation results show that the rigid-flexible model proposed can indicate the dynamic characteristics of parallel robot, the flexibility of driving limbs are demonstrated to have significant impact on system kinematics and dynamics.
