Development Design of Marine Electric Lifting Radar Mast Based on Solidworks and AMESim
The highest point of a ship is usually its radar mast,which always leads to the fact that the ship can not pass through special canal or special port which has a limit on ship's height.The current design is generally to make the radar mast to partial reversible mast,but the reversible mast has many disadvantages,such as:the arrangement is limited by the length direction of the ship;the reversible part may enter into the influence range of magnetic compass and affect the use of magnetic compass;the reversible part may be magnetized for entering long time into the influence range of magnetic compass,and need to use stainless steel or aluminum and other material not affected by magnetic compass,which cost expensive.Based on a PCTC Ro/Ro ship's radar mast as an improving target object,this paper developed and designed an electrical lifting radar mast,by using Solidworks to analyze the strength of its mechanical executive system,and by using AMESim to verify the function and feasibility of its drive system,so as to optimize the design of electrical lifting radar mast.
