Design and Research of An Extensible Skid for Bumper Painting Line
In order to improve the utilization rate of bumper storage space and facilitate the integration process of loading,spraying,leveling,transportation and storage on the bumper painting lines,this paper de-signed an extensible skid for the bumper painting lines.This skid can meet the requirements of different work stations for the spacing adjustment of the bumpers on the skid.Firstly,taking a certain type of bumper as the object,the design of the extensible skid was carried out.Then,the mathematical model of skid exten-sion mechanism is established by using Newton-Euler method,and its motion characteristics and mechanical property are studied.Finally,the theoretical analysis and design results are verified by establishing the virtu-al prototype and experiment based on ADAMS.The results show that the design of extensible skid is rea-sonable and workable,and the bumpers on the skid can be conveniently adjusted by laying rails on the con-veyor chains at different stations automatically.In addition,the conveying stability and storage space utiliza-tion rate can be effectively improved.
