Abstract   HTML PDF (1255KB) ( 649 )  
Aiming at path planning problem of AGV accessing cars, the dynamic adaptive hybrid algorithm was proposed by combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) with genetic algorithm (GA). Based on the standard PSO and GA, inertia weight coefficient, learning factor and the formula of crossover and mutation probability were optimized and improved with the dynamic adaptive adjustment strategy. In the initial stage of algorithm evolution, the dynamic linkage relation built between inertia weight coefficient and learning factor were utilized to deal with real-time updates of particle's velocity and position. In the later stage of evolution, in order to strengthen global search ability of hybrid algorithm and improve evolution speed and convergence precision of the algorithm, crossover and mutation operators of adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) were introduced. Finally, MATLAB was used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of hybrid algorithm. The simulation results showed the global search ability and convergence performance of hybrid algorithm were optimal by being compared with tabu search algorithm (TSA), ant colony algorithm (ACO) and GA. The conclusion indicates that the hybrid algorithm is feasible and effective.

Abstract   HTML PDF (673KB) ( 1554 )  
Electricity for illumination occupies most of university electricity consumption. Road and scenery illumination, with large capacity and long working hours, may cause waste of energy when it is operated manually.Therefore, according to the students' living patterns, PLC intelligent control system in the road and scenery illumination was adopted on the new campus. Some time before the blackout of students' apartments, all of road and scenery illumination lights would be turned on. Afterwards, the road illumination lights would be tuned down and some scenery illumination lights would be off. Additionally, during summer and winter holiday, the illumination lights would be controlled in different time interval. Based on estimate of operation for PLC intelligent control system,electricity saved each year is more than 25% and the lifetime of lights is also increased. The result shows that the illumination intelligent control system is reliable enough to meet the requirement of campus lighting, and the expected effect is realized.

Abstract   HTML PDF (4369KB) ( 1495 )  

In order to eliminate the redundant moment of force of the electric load simulation system (ELSS) and improve the output accuracy of the system loading torque, a kind of adaptive control method for eliminating position disturbance torque of steering engine was designed. Based on the feed forward control and adaptive control theory, the effectiveness of the method was analyzed by MATLAB simulation software and the experimental verification was carried out. Simulations and experimental results showed that the method could adaptively adjust the system loading error, and the higher the frequency of the steering engine was, the longer the tracking error could be adjusted. In the same conditions of the loading torque and amplitude phase of the steering engine, the higher the steering engine frequency was, the more obvious the inhibitory effect of the control method to the redundant moment of force was. In the same conditions of the loading torque and movement frequency of the steering engine, the greater the amplitude phase of steering engine was, the more obvious the inhibitory effect was. The method can stabilize the system in an ideal output state by the output of the reference model when the actual system parameters are unknown or gradually changing.

The traditional layout of automotive seat skeleton components mainly relies on the designer's experience, which leads to low design efficiency and non-optimal structure. This paper studied the layout design method of automotive seat skeleton components for the rear seat of a car with the plate-tube structure based on structural topology optimization design technology. Firstly, according to the shape and size requirements on skeleton appearance, the design domain was determined and the design model was constructed under the belt loading state. Secondly, the structural topology optimization design was carried out on the basis of the alterable density method, in which the maximum static stiffness was set to be the design objective. According to the result of topology optimization, two different schemes were put forward. Finally, the optimal design scheme was determined by comparing the FEA results, and the collision safety analysis was carried out. The results showed the suggested design method was effective, the skeleton weight was declined by 1.92%, while the overall static stiffness increased by 19.0%, and the safety requirement of dynamic collision was satisfied. The optimal components layout of seat skeleton is obtained by using the design method.

Abstract   HTML PDF (1435KB) ( 1087 )  
A new reconfigurable industrial robot was developed with modular method. The robot's load weight ratio reached 1/4.5 by the optimized design of its structure. Each joint of the robot had the same structure, which reduced repetitive design work. And the transmission components of the joint were all standard parts, which reduced the cost. Through the combination of joint modules and arm modules, different robot configurations could be obtained. Aiming at one robot configuration, the forward kinematics model was established with DH method. Since the robot did not have adjacent three-axis that intersected at one point, it was difficult to obtain all inverse kinematic solutions by traditional method. Thus, a new method with the combination of algebraic and geometric methods was proposed to obtain all analytical solutions. Finally, the kinematic analysis of this robot was verified by examples. The kinematic analysis could provide a basis for subsequent robot motion control.

Abstract   HTML PDF (2792KB) ( 1049 )  

In order to improve the sealing reliability of the lead wire from the pressure chamber in the high pressure environment and ensure that the electronic equipment used in the downhole tool can work under atmospheric pressure, a kind of injection class high pressure sealing connector was designed. The sealing connector which filled with rubber and epoxy resin was analyzed based on the finite element software, and the experimental verification was carried out. Analysis and experiment results showed that when the filling material was rubber, the sealing property was good, but the material was easy to be squeezed out, and 88°was a better choice for the semi-cone angle of shell body. When the filling material was epoxy resin, material protrusion could be avoided, but there would be liquid leaking in a certain pressure range. When the filling material was rubber and epoxy resin, evagination distance decreased with increasing of epoxy resin and the use ratio of epoxy resin 40% was a good choice. High pressure sealing connector mainly relied on first five threads to bear load. The maximum stresses appeared at the minor diameter between first thread and second thread of shell body. The maximum stresses of contact pin appeared at the upper border between rubber and epoxy resin. The researching achievement has certain significance for design of high pressure sealing connector and selection of filling material.

Abstract   HTML PDF (2517KB) ( 557 )  
The diversity of piping systems and complexity of constrains in layout space lead to the low efficiency of ship pipe design. A new pipe route planning method was proposed to improve the design efficiency and reduce human errors. Based on the simplified layout space, the mathematical model was firstly built by the discretization of the layout space and the specific energy value which was given to the spatial network. Based on the constructed mathematical model, the improved maze algorithm and genetic algorithm were then combined together to conduct pipe route planning. The concept of auxiliary point was introduced to improve the maze searching performance, which guaranteed the diversity of initial population and enhanced the global search ability of genetic algorithm. A fixed-length coding method was also proposed to simplify the difficulty in handling the pipe chromosomes and improve the performance of algorithm. The direction oriented strategy was applied in maze retracing process to design the genetic operators with fixed-length chromosomes, which not only guaranteed the quality of children chromosomes but also improved the convergence speed of the algorithm. The simulation results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach, and prove the guiding significance of the approach to actual ship pipe route planning.
