Research on the Waste Reduction Method of the Cantilever Tubes for an Automatic Production Line of Aluminum Alloy Cantilevers
Aluminum alloy is the best material for the catenary cantilever tube of high-speed railway catenary owing to its high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.The traditional batching method of the catenary cantilever tubes is mainly done by manual labor with low efficiency and high labor intensity.The scientific batching method of the catenary cantilever tubes is beneficial to the rational distribution of resources,the reduction of the wastes and the improvement of the economic benefits.In this study,the characteristics of the prefabrication of aluminum alloy cantilever for the catenary were summarized,and the waste rates of the cantilever tubes for the prefabrication of aluminum alloy cantilever were analyzed,and the methods for the reduction of raw tubes in the automatic production line were proposed,based on the development of the high-speed railway.Furthermore,the advantages of the material optimization algorithm for the cantilever tube were verified,and the formula to reduce the cost of raw tubes for the catenary contact network was proposed,which can promote the reduction of the construction cost.
