UHF RFID tag antenna design under multi-application environment
LIU Zhi-Fei, WANG Ling
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design    2008, 15 (1): 37-40.  
Abstract   HTML PDF (398KB) ( 14482 )  
Disturbance of metal and other media on radio frequency signal has a great effect on the performance of passive UHF RFID system in application. By separating patch antenna from metal surface, a ground-independent RFID tag was constructed using 3D microstrip antenna model, but manufacturing complexity and cost of RFID tag structure were increased. Through improving the feeding mode, the traditional microstrip antenna with single unbalanced feed was changed into a new one with dual balanced feeds, and the RFID tag became smaller because its 3D antenna was simplified into a planar one. The new antenna can not only decrease the complexity of manufacturing the RFID tag, but also supply tag's compatibility to different environment material in application.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design    2018, 25 (3): 270-277.   DOI: 10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2018.03.004
Abstract   HTML PDF (2080KB) ( 4837 )  

Aiming at the problems that angle size tolerance cannot control the angle deviation between two planes and the angle deviation may be out of control when using geometrical tolerance, the tangent feature symbol for toleranced feature was introduced. When the geometric tolerance was used to control the angle deviation between the toleranced surface and the datum, the tangent feature symbol would be added to the toleranced feature. The conversion method between geometric tolerance and angle tolerance was given. Aiming at the problem of the accumulation calculation of angle deviation between two planes in assembly layer, the illustration of angle dimension chain and the accumulation calculation method of angle dimension chain deviation were studied for the parts which had been assembled. Finally, taking the electric wood cutting machine as an example, the angle accumulation deviation of the relative features of each part was controlled by geometric tolerance to meet the design requirement. The conversion of geometric tolerances to angular tolerance of each feature was realized. The angle accumulation deviation calculation using angle dimension chain was analyzed. The example can be used as a reference for geometric tolerance analysis control between planes and pattern annotation.

Abstract   HTML PDF (426KB) ( 3544 )  
Surrogate model is a key technology for complex engineering optimization design. EGO algorithm, a Bayesian analysis optimization algorithm based on Kriging surrogate model, makes use of the EI function to select the next sampling point to ensure the global convergence. An improved EGO algorithm was proposed due to the shortcomings of original algorithm. Four representative numerical and one engineering examples were selected to test the improved EGO algorithm's performance. Finally, comparison of the improved EGO and other algorithms was conducted from the aspect of convergence efficiency and accuracy. The results show that the improved EGO algorithm is more efficient than the original one when the optimization process reaches the same accuracy and superior to response surface optimization algorithm in accuracy and converging efficiency. The method has strong adaptability and good engineering practical value.

Implementation framework of finite state machines
XU Xiao-Liang, WANG Le-Yu, ZHOU Hong
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design    2003, 10 (5): 251-255.  
Abstract   HTML PDF (182KB) ( 3351 )  
Finite state machines(FSMs)provide a powerful way for modeling reactive systems.Although FSM has stronger expression ability after it is extended with many advanced features and visual statechart diagrams,its implementation often suffers from bad reusability and maintenance problems.The traditional ways for FSM implementation,such as structure approach and state pattern,do not address these problems because their software structures are too simple to match the statechart diagrams.By providing more structure and event-triggered mechanism ,a new object-oriented FSM implementation framework is presented as well as the event-dispatching algorithm.The new software framework explicitly describes all the core elements and associations between these elements in the FSM and separates the behavior from the structure.Therefore,not only can this framework make the software more reusable and flexible,but also can improve the maintenance and robustness.

LIU Xiu-Quan, ZENG Zhao-Rui, HUANG Ping
Chinese Journal of Engineering Design    2008, 15 (2): 149-153.  
Abstract   HTML PDF (307KB) ( 2894 )  
The coreless coil inductance calculation of MEMS in human body was proposed, focusing on the mutual inductance of non-coaxial coils. The effects on the mutual inductance due to main geometric parameters, such as gap, obliquity and radius, were analyzed. The numerical results indicate that mutual inductance decreases with the increase of axial and radial gaps and the influence of axial gap on mutual inductance is much bigger than the radial one; with the increase of obliquity, mutual inductance decreases, and when obliquity angle is equal to 90°, it is nearly zero; when coil radius varies, mutual inductance has a maximum. Furthermore, a tri-axial moving platform is put forward in which gap and obliquity can be adjusted easily and accurately. On the basis of the above, a mutual inductance measuring system is established, and the testing results are consistent with the calculation.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design    2018, 25 (6): 617-629.   DOI: 10.3785/j.issn.1006-754X.2018.06.001
Abstract   HTML PDF (9449KB) ( 2680 )  

With the intelligent development of manufacturing industry, industrial robots are more and more widely used for continuous contact operation, such as polishing, sanding, burring and assembling. End-effector with force control is a critical component of robots used for hybrid force/position control and continuous contact operation, which has an important effect on the operation quality and application field extension. In view of the above situation, it is of great importance for developing new robotic end-effector of high-performance to investigate the state, analyze the characteristics and key technology, and forecast the trends of development. The background of end-effector with force control was introduced firstly, and then the composition & classification, working mode and operation principle was presented. The key technologies of end-effector with force control were refined, including the comprehensive theory and optimization technique of parallel manipulator configuration, design technique of constant force compensatory actuator, technique of compensation of mass force, technique of flexible collision and technique of decoupling control. Furthermore, the mechanical, pneumatic, electrically driven end-effector with force control of single-DOF and multi-DOF was detailed summarized, as well as the advantages and disadvantages. The technology trends of the end-effector with force control include high precision and frequency response, electric driving, multi-DOF flexibility, high load capacity, integration and intellectualization. Analysis shows that the mechanical or pneumatic end-effector with force control is widely used nowadays, which has the disadvantages of large lagging, low control precision and response and can only realize constant force control of single-DOF. As a result, research on intelligent and electrically driven robotic end-effector with force control of high precision, response and multi-DOF will play an important role for the improvement of force control precision, surface adaptability, quality and efficiency of processing & assembly, and effectively promote the intelligent operation level of industrial robots.
