Research on No.16 Coupler Based on SimSolid Analysis
The coupler buffer device is the most critical and fundamental component during train operation.The main function of the coupler is to connect various vehicles and transmit traction force to maintain a certain distance,while also reducing the longitudinal impact force between trains.This article will conduct structural de-sign and strength analysis on the 16#coupler.Firstly,based on the structural dimensions of each part of the 16#coupler,solidworks will be used to design the structure of each part of the 16#coupler.Then,solidworks will be used to assemble the structure of each part of the 16#coupler,and finally generate the overall structure of the 16#coupler.Import the assembled model into Simsolid software,perform 3D model strength calculation on it,and determine whether the No.16 coupler meets the usage standards based on the yield stress in the mate-rial properties of the No.16 coupler.
