Virtual prototype modeling and optimization of bidirectional self-reinforcing brake based on ADAMS
Based on multi-body dynamics analysis software ADAMS,a rigid-flexible coupling virtual prototype model was established for the bidirectional self-reinforcing brake for 4~5 t forklift truck by identifying and establishing the brake component motion constraints,calculating and giving equivalent moment of inertia,flexible brake shoe and friction plate,etc.,and the accuracy of the model was verified by experiments.Based on the brake rigid-flexible coupling virtual prototype model,the brake return spring was parameterized,and according to the braking performance evaluation index,the related parameters were optimized to improve the working efficiency of the brake.
