Application of ANSYS and ADAMS in Structure Design of Colony Picking Robot
Aiming at the problems of low picking speed,integration automation and needle reuse rate of existing colony picking robots,a rotary picking robot with multiple needles operating simultaneously was designed.First of all,in order to ensure that the stress and strain of the main stressed components(cylinder mounting plate and turntable)are within the error range,the finite el-ement analysis software ANSYS Workbench is used to check the positioning accuracy of Z-axis and flat respectively.According to the results of statics analysis,its strength is reliable and its accuracy meets the design requirements.This design can accurately pick out.Secondly,in order to guarantee colony pick smooth process,the simulation software ADAMS was used to conduct dy-namic analysis on the Colony indexing selection mechanism(cambered indexing cam).After studying the dynamic characteristics and motion law of the indexing selecting mechanism,it is found that the simulation results of each motion parameter are consis-tent with the theory,which can ensure that the impact and vibration of the new robot can be avoided in the process of picking.The results show that the strength,stiffness and motion stability of the picking mechanism all meet the requirements,which effectively verifies the rationality of the design.
