 Along with the gradually appearance of the industrial revolution with the low carbon economy as a core, low carbon design and manufacture of mechanical and electronic products has become one of the important factors that improve competitiveness of enterprises. Based on the distribution of carbon footprint, 〖JP+1〗this paper puts forward a low carbon and innovation design method for mechanical and electrical products. By building a hierarchical model of product structure and regarding the material utilization rate, recovery rate, and remove rate as carbon emission attributes for mechanical and electrical products, the carbon distribution could be calculated by AHP(analytic hierarchy process). After getting the lowcarbon design elements according to the distribution of carbon emissions, the creative template method was used to optimize the lowcarbon design elements and implement lowcarbon design of mechanical and electrical products. Finally, a coffee grinder was used as an example to prove the practicability of the method.

According to the drawback of traditional methods of reliability analysis describing the dynamic failure problem of the ATP system of CTCS-3,dynamic fault tree was used to analyze the reliability of the system. Firstly,the dynamic fault tree model was established by analyzing the structure and function of the system. Secondly,the depth-first left-most traversal algorithm was used to search on the dynamic fault tree model to obtain the independent subtrees. Finally,after introducing the reliability indexes of repairable system,the analytic method and Markov matrix iteration method were adopted to solve subtrees. The hierarchical iteration method was applied to improve dynamic fault tree analysis method to reduce the quantity of computation so that the reliability indexes could be used for reliability evaluation of the ATP system of CTCS-3.Comparing the results of above method with the results of the reliability block diagram method,it is show that dynamic fault tree analysis can describe the characteristics of redundancy and fault-tolerance of system better and the accuracy of reliability indexes is improved.

Corrosion is one of the primary failure mode of pressurized pipelines. Research on reliability of the corroded pipelines has important theoretical significance and application value. Adequate data is necessary for probabilistic reliability model and fuzzy reliability model used to analyze the reliability of corroded pipelines. In case of insufficient information was available,the uncertain parameters of yield strength,pipeline diameter,defect depths,operating pressure and so on were described as interval variables to make up the gap by using the uncertain information of the corroded pipelines well. Timedependent non-probability reliability model of the corroded pipeline in service was established based on the interval model. A simple method for the remaining life prediction of the corroded pipelines was given. A numerical example had been used to illustrate the proposed method. The result shows that the proposed method is feasible and reasonable and procticable. Finally a sensitivity analysis was carried out on interval variables involved in the problem. The effects of the coefficient of variation of pipeline wall thickness,defect depths,operating pressures and corrosion velocity on non-probability reliability index of the corroded pipelines were evaluated. The results of sensitivity analysis indicate that the non-probability reliability index is the most sensitive to the coefficient of variation of pipeline wall thickness interval variable.

Aiming at improving the precision of five-rollers solventless coating machine,the multi-motor coordination control based on the mechatronic coupling modeling and design method was established. A cross-coupling constant ratio adaptive control algorithm was designed,in which three of rollers were controlled by three individual permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) and the system velocity dynamic and static output of each motor was tracked in realtime tracks respectively with three independent constant ratio compensation feed forward velocity PID controllers.

In order to promote some research works of rubber bushing’s impact on vehicle performances effectively by estimating and verifying the mechanical properties of rubber bushings,the bushing of McPherson suspension was researched. Firstly,the relative strain energy density function equations were derived,and after the introduction of many constitutive model equations (Wherein,Yeoh,Van der Waals,and Ogden as the principal),the material mechanical properties of bushing rubber (NR55) were estimated and then verified by contrasting with the results of material basic tests,then 3rd order Ogden equation was determined as a better constitutive model to estimate the bushing structural mechanical properties. The multi-parameters of μ1,μ2,μ3,α1,α2,α3 were set as variables to be optimized and their initial values were given,then pre-estimation of the bushing structural mechanical properties was done and verified by contrasting with the results of bushing structural tests,4 types of optimize objective functions were designated to make‘area overlap’ and  ‘displacement equivalent’,10 interactive processes were performed by selecting adaptive response surface method,and a set of values of the multi-parameters,which can more accurately estimate the bushing structural mechanical properties,were identified. Two new curves can be calculated and fitted by using the set of identified values. They were compared with the curves of the structural tests itself and the estimated fitting of material basic tests. The results show that the errors of radial (axial) stiffness values are all less than 9.1%,if the other various factors are considered,this can be accepted in engineering. It shows that the above methods are feasible and can be generalized.

To analyze the friction characteristics of slipper pair in A11VO190 constant power axial piston pump,a mathematical model of overclamped slipper was created. In considering the thermal wedge force caused by thermal expansion and the dynamic pressure effect caused by step structure,according to the equilibrium of spatial force system principle,the slipper’s dynamic characteristics in oil delivery region was calculated by the software Matlab,and the thickness of oil film at different position of the swash plate was obtained. The formula of friction power loss and leakage power loss was then deduced,and the effects of load pressure and spindle turning speed on film thickness and the power loss were compared.It is shown that the thickness decreases with the increasing of load pressure,while the power loss is on the contrary. Both film thickness and power loss increase with the increasing of turning speed.

Chinese Journal of Engineering Design, 2014, 21(1): 56-61.   https://doi.org/10.3785/j.issn. 1006-754X.2014.01.010

In order to explore the vertical vibration characteristics of an underground mobile crusher and reasons of its low working reliability under a random load, the dynamic models and motion equations in vertical direction were built according to the theory of multibody dynamics and the mathematical model of vertical vibration response was derived based on the pseudo excitation method by some hypothesis and simplification. Taking a domestic underground mobile crusher as an example, random load on the head of the crusher impacting rocks was determined. By using MATLAB, the random vibration response of the crusher head, arm and body under the action of random load in high stand conditions were obtained. The results show that under the action of random excitation whose peak load is 375 kN, mean load is 186 kN, and frequency is 10 Hz, the peak/mean amplitudes of the machine parts are: crusher head 0.012 5m /0.007 25 m; arm 0.010 m/0.006 57 m; body 0.006 1 m/0.003 62 m. The vibration of every part is violent and the degree of vibration and volatility are ordered from maximum to minimum as follows: the crush head, the arm, the body. And this is consistent with the actual situation. At the maximum amplitudes of every part, the low frequency of crusher head, arm and body are close to the natural frequency and it is easy to occur resonance which is the main reason leading machine vibration, leading the machine part failure, and reducing the service life. The results offer reference to improve mobile breaker design, take reasonable vibration reduction measures, and prolong the machine service life.

Abstract( 1165 )   HTML( 3 )     PDF(2233KB)( 933 )
To optimize the capacity,power,noise and life of the compressor via studying the motion law of suction valves without lift limiters,a basic idea of corroborating numerical simulations and physical tests was established. The refrigerant flow field and the valve structure field were coupled together to analog valves movement. ADINA FSI (fluid-structure interaction) module  was used to get the valve displacement,cylinder pressure,suction speed and valve seat contact force during inhalation,based on fluid mass,momentum,energy conservation laws and the tablet vibration model. Analysis of the valve design parameters impacting on its dynamic response shows that reducing the thickness of valves can optimize the compressor’s performance. Based on the maximum effective flow area criterion,the smallest and optimal thickness of the suction valve in WS75YV compressor is found. The simulation results of the velocity distribution of the refrigerant under Eulerian coordinate and cylinder temperature during inhalation show that the phenomenon of overheating exist. Capacity of the compressor,motor power,and the ratio COP (coefficient of performance) were measured by the second refrigerant calorimeter method. After comparing theory and simulation values,we can conclude that FSI method is feasible and compressors designed or optimized by FSI are reliable.

To determine the priority ratings of technical characteristics in QFD planning,a combination weighting method integrating the subjective and objective information in house of quality is proposed.  In subjective evaluation,different decision-makers were likely to choose terms of different granularity to describe the same object and the ultimate evaluation scores were calculated through the linguistic hybrid operator,which reflected the importance degrees of both the given argument and its ordered position. In objective evaluation,uncertain values of technical characteristics were given in the form of internal numbers. Based on technical competitive information,a goal-deviation matrix was conducted in order to obtain objective importance ratings by using entropy methods. The final result is synthesis of the subjective and objective evaluation,which coordinates and unifies the wisdom of experts and the data-based reasoning.
