Lightweight Design and Research of Chestnut Sheller
In order to solve the problem of low efficiency and tedious process of transporting chestnuts after picking them in some areas of China,a kind of chestnuts shucking equipment was designed in this paper.The overall structure of the machine was optimized,and the static analysis of the machine frame was car-ried out with ANSYS software to verify the rationality of the strength of the frame structure.On the premise of ensuring that the stiffness and strength of the chestnut sheller meet the actual working condi-tions,the topology optimization was carried out with variable density method to realize the lightweight structure.After optimization,the mass of the sheller is reduced by 17.039kg(25%).Through the design and optimization simulation analysis of the machine structure,the lightweight chestnut sheller satisfying the local sheller is designed,which provides a reference for the subsequent design of chestnut sheller.
