    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.

    In view of the adverse effects of dynamic modeling errors and uncertain perturbations on the high-precision trajectory tracking control of the end of manipulators, a novel sliding mode control strategy for manipulators based on the adaptive neural network was proposed. The control strategy could be divided into three parts: adaptive neural network compensation term, switching control term and equivalent control term. The introduction of adaptive neural network avoided the influence of modeling error and unknown external disturbance on the manipulator system, and improved the trajectory tracking accuracy. The switching control term could enable the manipulator system performance to quickly approach the sliding mode surface while approaching the equilibrium point at a very small rate, so as to ensure system stability while avoiding excessive chattering. The equivalent control term was used to compensate the gravity term and Coriolis force term of the manipulator dynamics model, which realized the linearization of the model and ensured the system control accuracy. Finally, the stability of the designed control system was proved by constructing the Lyapunov function, and the simulation experiment and comparison experiment were carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment and robot system toolbox. The results showed that the proposed control algorithm could achieve high-precision trajectory tracking while maintaining the stability of the manipulator, which verified the correctness and superiority of this control algorithm. The adaptive neural network sliding mode control algorithm provides a solution for enhancing the trajectory tracking accuracy of the end of manipulators.

    At present, maintenance operations such as derusting, painting and testing of petrochemical storage tanks in my country are usually completed manually, which is inefficient and dangerous.The wall-climbing robot can complete the above maintenance work instead of manual work, but its frequently-used contact permanent magnet adsorption method will affect its obstacle-surmounting operation.Therefore, aiming at the wheel-legged wall-climbing robot with obstacle-surmounting ability, a design and optimization method for improving the adsorption capacity of its permanent magnet adsorption device was proposed.Firstly, based on the principle of obstacle-surmounting and permanent magnet adsorption of the wheel-legged wall-climbing robot, four design schemes of non-contact permanent magnet adsorption device were proposed.The two-dimensional static magnetic field simulation analysis for the permanent magnet adsorption device was carried out by the Ansoft Maxwell software, and its optimal structure was obtained.Then, through force analysis, the structural parameters affecting the magnetic adsorption force of the permanent magnet adsorption device were determined.Finally, based on the principle of control variable method, the influence of structural parameters of permanent magnet adsorption device and steel wall on the magnetic adsorption force was analyzed through simulation, and the optimal value of each structural parameter was determined.The results showed that when the radius of steel wall was 10-14 m, the gap between adjacent permanent magnet adsorption units and the number of permanent magnet adsorption unit had a relatively great influence on the magnetic adsorption force; when the gap between adjacent permanent magnet adsorption units was 2-4 mm and the number of permanent magnet adsorption unit was 3-5, the utilization rate of magnetic adsorption force was relatively high.Experiments under certain conditions had verified the accuracy of optimization results.After optimization, the measured value of the magnetic adsorption force of the permanent magnet adsorption device was about 16.45% higher than the simulated value on average, and the optimized device could effectively ensure the stable movement of the wheel-legged wall-climbing robot on the steel wall of petrochemical storage tanks.The research results can provide reference for the structural design and optimization of the magnetic adsorption device.

    The lower limb exoskeleton assisted robot has problems such as whether the human-machine joints match, and whether the active joint design meets the driving force requirements of human joint during motion.In order to solve these problems, based on the designed electro-hydraulic servo driven lower limb exoskeleton assisted robot, by simplifying it into a seven-link structure, the instantaneous dynamic model of swing phase and support phase were constructed by Newton-Euler method combining with the gait balance theory.Then, the angle data, velocity data of human motion under different gait phases and the robot structure parameters were substituted into the Newton-Euler dynamic iteration equations to obtain the theoretical driving torque of each joint of the robot.Finally, the ADAMS(automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems) simulation experiment and human-machine cooperative walking aid experiment were carried out, and the correctness and effectiveness of the constructed dynamic iteration equations were verified by comparing the peak driving torque of each joint of the robot.The results showed that using the Newton-Euler method to solve the driving torque of the lower limb exoskeleton assisted robot joint could provide important theoretical support for its structural optimization and control strategy formulation.

    In view of the problem of mathematical nonlinear regression, it is necessary to continuously improve the design model and design parameters, so that the design effect is the best. The response surface method is often used to optimize the minimum volume problem under the constraint conditions, which means that the simulation model is fitted by the function relation and the optimization direction is determined by the screening test. In order to optimize the shape of the classic 10-bar truss structure,based on the response surface, the APDL (ANSYS parametric design language) program was written and run, and the initial stress and volume of the truss were obtained. The change of node coordinates was used to reflect the change of shape. Each factor was set at three levels and encoded as -1, 0 and 1, and the center and level were adjusted by response surface method (RSM). Based on the adjusted level, the best neighborhood was found, and then the optimal solution of the volume under the allowable stress in the best neighborhood was solved by the optimization software. Finally, the determined node vertical coordinate value was returned to the APDL program to verify whether the constraint condition was satisfied. If it was satisfied, the volume was the best solution at this time. The results indicated that the iterations number was only 3 times when using the response surface method, which could quickly locate the optimal solution and reduce the previous design cost. By comparing the experimental design method in literature[9], it was found that the RSM was more efficient in optimizing the shape of the structure. In engineering applications, it is efficient to locate the design test program and find the best matching design under constraint conditions.

    Biomechanical study of human upper limb is one of the most referenced aspects for the optimization of upper limb posture and the design of related products. Firstly, a real-time optical motion capture system was used to capture the real-time position of key points of the human body in the course of executing the specified action. The focus of the work was to calculate and deeply analyze the experimental data of the human upper limb by MATLAB software. Then, the human upper limb was simplified as a club model, and the variation value of each joint angle of the human upper limb during the motion process was calculated by the cosine theorem. The dynamic joint torque was computed by the inverse dynamics and the change of main muscle force was calculated by the optimization analysis. Lastly, the human upper limb motion comfort was evaluated by calculating the real-time load rate of human upper limb muscles, and the motion comfort index evaluation model of human upper limb was established. The experiment result proved that the human upper limb muscles were in the comfort state when the body executed the specified action at a sitting posture. The results provide a theoretical basis for the depth analysis of human upper limb motion.

    As an important spatial force sensing element, the six-dimensional force sensor is widely used in robot force/position control, grasping assembly, contour detection, autonomous obstacle avoidance and human-computer interaction. At present, improving the accuracy is one of the main research directions of six-dimensional force sensors. However, due to the influence of own structure and processing error and other factors, the six-dimensional force sensor will produce the interdimensional coupling phenomenon, and the interdimensional coupling is an important factor affecting its accuracy. In order to reduce the influence of coupling error, the decoupling algorithm of six-dimensional force sensor is studied by combining error analysis, theoretical derivation and experimental verification. Firstly, the coupling analysis of the six-dimensional force sensor was carried out, and its coupling model was obtained. Then, the linear decoupling algorithm of the six-dimensional force sensor was studied, and on this basis, the decoupling algorithm based on polynomial fitting was proposed to reduce the coupling error without changing the structure of the six-dimensional force sensor, so as to improve its accuracy. Finally, the orthogonal parallel six-dimensional force sensor was selected to carry out calibration experiments, and two algorithms were used for decoupling solution. The results showed that the decoupling algorithm based on polynomial fitting could reduce the influence of interdimensional coupling on the accuracy of six-dimensional force sensors. The proposed decoupling algorithm effectively improved the accuracy of the six-dimensional force sensor. Compared with the linear decoupling algorithm, the maximum coupling error was reduced by 8.914 percentage points and the linearity error was reduced by 0.111 percentage points. The research results can provide reference for reducing the coupling error and improving the accuracy of six-dimensional force sensors.

    Under the specific wind load, the stress conditions of different components and parts of overhead transmission lines are very different. In severe cases, it can lead to instability of the transmission tower line system and fracture of insulator string even, which greatly affects the safety of power grid operation. Taking an overhead line in a mountainous area of Yunnan as the research object, the isotropic and anisotropic eigenvalue buckling analysis of composite insulator string mandrels was carried out based on ANSYS finite element simulation software. A new type of quadruple V-shaped insulator string was constructed. The mechanical properties of bigeminy and quadruple V-shaped insulator strings under different wind loads were compared and analyzed by introducing the coefficient of Ph/Gv (horizontal load/vertical load), and the deformation, maximum stress of the windward side and leeward side and horizontal displacement of the lowest point of V-shaped insulator strings were analyzed. The results showed that when Ph/Gv=2.34, the maximum stress on the leeward side of the V-shaped insulator string was minimal; as the Ph/Gv increased, the stress variation curve of the quadruple V-shaped insulator string was smoother than that of the the bigeminy V-shaped insulator string, and the horizontal displacement of its lowest point was smaller.When the angle between the V-shaped insulator string and the vertical plane was 10°-30°, the smaller the angle was, the more stable the overall performance of V-shaped insulator string was. The research provides a strong basis for the design improvement of V-shaped insulator string and has strong engineering practicability.

    The screw motor is the power assembly of the screw drilling tool, and its cross-sectional shape directly affects its working performance. Good working performance is the design goal of screw motors. In order to obtain a screw motor with good working performance, the evaluation criteria of efficiency, sealing cavity reliability and stability were proposed according to the working principle and structural characteristics of the screw motor. Then, a three-dimensional finite element model of fluid-structure coupling of the screw motor was established, and the contact force change of the sealing cavity contact strip of the short-amplitude endocycloid screw motor under different load conditions was analyzed based on the explicit nonlinear transient dynamics method. Finally, based on the evaluation criteria for the efficiency of screw motors, a new screw motor with quasi circular-arc contour-pattern was designed to address the key factors affecting the efficiency of short-amplitude endocycloid screw motors, and the good working performance of this screw motor was proved by numerical simulation and experiment. The results showed that under the same load conditions, the sealing cavity of the screw motor with quasi circular-arc contour-pattern was more stable and reliable than that of the short-amplitude endocycloid screw motor, and it had better working performance under higher load conditions. The research results lay a foundation for the contour-pattern design of high-performance screw motors in the future.

    In order to solve the problems of inconvenience in experimental operation, difficulty in monitoring equipment operation status and poor interactivity caused by concealed installation position and difficulty in installing auxiliary devices on the self-built laser parallel processing experimental platform, taking a single optical displacement stage in the experimental platform as an example, an interactive control system based on digital twin technology was designed by using Unity engine. This interactive control system used MQTT(message queuing telemetry transport) communication protocol protocol to complete the cross-software information interaction by using the server to transfer data. The Kinesis control software of optical displacement stage and the virtual control panel in Unity engine served as clients in MQTT communication, acting as subscribers and publishers. The digital twin model of the optical displacement stage performed real-time mapping of the motion state of its physical entity based on data information. Users completed synchronous interactive control of the physical entity and the digital twin model through the Kinesis control software or virtual control panel. The secondary development of Kinesis control software was carried out by referencing.dll file, and the motion control class of Kinesis control software was called to complete the motion control of the optical displacement stage. The motion data variables were set to high-precision float type and decimal type to ensure that the data precision was not lost. Ten groups of actual processing data were selected to test the operation latency and synchronization of the interactive control system. The results showed that the data publishing time on the Kinesis control software and the data subscription time on the Unity engine were controlled within 20 ms and 10 ms, respectively. The designed system can better ensure the consistency of synchronous control and real-time action mapping between the digital twin model and the physical entity, which achieves the visual monitoring function of the motion state of the optical displacement stage. In addition, the motion data type can meet the micron level information transmission, ensuring the accuracy requirements of the optical displacement stage. At the same time, the functions of virtual control panel run normally, which improves the convenience of the optical displacement stage control.

    Brake-by-wire technology is a development direction of the future automotive brake technology which has aroused extensive concern of domestic and foreign car manufacturers. Since the existing automotive electromechanical brake (EMB) was lack of wear compensation device which was specified in the national standard, GB12676-2014, an innovative EMB with gap automatic adjustment function was designed. The mathematical models of drive motor, motor friction, worm and gear, ball screw and loading were established by MATLAB/Simulink. By building the EMB bench, the braking performance differences between simulation and experiment were tested and analyzed under the signal of step, triangle wave, square wave and sinusoidal wave. The braking performances of EMB with the gap automatic adjustment function or nor were also tested and analyzed. The experimental results showed that the start-current of the EMB system had a "peak" characteristic and the clamping force was sensitive, which could meet the braking requirements. According to the experimental data, the parameter relations were concluded:the clamping force was linearly related to the locked-rotor current, and the characteristics of cubic polynomial were met by the relationship between clamping force and screw displacement. The correctness of the mathematical model was verified by the simulation and experimental results. A theoretical basis for reducing the force sensor and other devices could be provided by the conclusion of parameters relational characteristics. The experimental outcome indicates that the gap automatic adjustment function of the new EMB can guarantee that the brake gap and the response time are consistent at each time, which can further improve the safety of brakes.

    In order to improve the speed control accuracy and adaptability of mobile robots under the complex environment, a speed control method of the mobile robot based on the multi-sensor fusion information is proposed. Firstly, according to the multi-sensor nonlinear optimization fusion theory, an optimized estimation model of mobile robot motion states was constructed by minimizing the residual errors of the motion observation. Then, the observation methods of the mobile robot motion by the monocular camera, the wheel odometer and the inertial measurement unit (IMU) were introduced, and the residual errors and their Jacobian matrices of the mobile robot motion observed by different sensors were calculated. Finally, the speed control system of the mobile robot was designed by combining the estimated motion state information with the incremental PID (proportion integration differentiation)control strategy, and the performance of this control system was verified through a number of tests.The test results showed that the proposed speed control method of the mobile robot effectively reduced the speed estimation error, and had a greater improvement in accuracy and robustness than the speed control method based on the wheel odometer information. The research result has significant significance for improving the performance of mobile robots in complex environments.

    Metallurgical industrial robots play an increasingly irreplaceable role in modern industrial production.Due to the great improvement of industrial automation, people constantly put forward new requirements for the performance of metallurgical industrial robots, especially for the stability of them control system.In view of the problems of low trajectory tracking accuracy and lack of adaptive dynamic adjustment characteristics of metallurgical industrial robots, a fuzzy iterative Q-learning control algorithm was proposed.Taking 6-DOF(six-degree-of-freedom)dual-arm robot as the research object, the fuzzy control rules were compiled by using the Fuzzy toolbox and the position error and its change rate generated by the robot were taken as the input of the fuzzy controller, and then the quantization factor and scale factor in the fuzzy controller and the PD(proportional derivative)parameter in the iterative learning control was adjusted by introducing the Q-learning strategy, so as to complete the design of fuzzy iterative Q-learning controller.Then, combined with ADAMS(automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems)and MATLAB software, a 6-DOF dual-arm robot simulation platform was built to carry out the simulation of shaft hole assembly task with high-precision trajectory tracking.The simulation results showed that the 6-DOF dual-arm robot had high trajectory tracking accuracy in joint space, and could complete the coordinated assembly task of dual arm shaft holes, which verified the effectiveness and advancement of the proposed control algorithm.The research results can provide reference for the shaft hole assembly of dual-arm cooperative robot with high-precision trajectory tracking, and have certain practical application value.

    Multi-motor driving plays a crucial role in the way of high-speed, long-distance and large-capacity for conveying equipment. Because of the advantages of no friction, no rotating drive components, arbitrary arrangement along the conveyor length direction and the reduction of the characteristics of belt tension, the linear motor becomes an ideal middle drive form in the high performance special belt conveyor. The merits and demerits of linear motor were compared with rotary motor based on its fundamental principle. The type of secondary structure was determined by comparative analysis for linear motor used in belt conveyor. And the secondary structure of belt was designed. According to the closed bulk handing material testing system, the test rig of static and dynamic characteristics were established. The thrust (tension difference of belt) of the linear motor was obtained using the Euler formula and the point by point tension method. Meanwhile, the proportional relationship between voltage and thrust was verified by experimental as well as air-gap and thrust. And the dynamic test (mechanical properties test) was carried out indirectly. Then the mathematical relationship between the thrust and belt speed was obtained. Moreover, the pulling force of stable running and starting process of belt were simulated based on Belt Analyst software and they also were compared with the experimental results. The experimental results showed that the thrust was proportional to the square of the voltage and the square of the reciprocal of air-gap respectively. It was also concluded that the theoretical curve between voltage and thrust (as well as air-gap and thrust) was consistent with experiment value. The ratio of thrust and input power on the linear motor was large, and the smaller the air-gap, the greater the ratio. In addition, compared with rotary motor, the linear motor had no critical speed, and it represented very soft for its mechanical properties. Ultimately, the simulation value of pulling force of stable running was basically consistent with the test value and all relative error within 2%. But the error was larger in starting-up process, which indirectly indicated the importance of ensuring the uniform of air-gap. This work can be applicable to the practical application and improvements for multi-motor coordination driving the ultra-long distance belt conveyor.

What's more, it combined a kind of bidirectional traction from the top and bottom and a revolving motion from the top, which ensured manned workbasket could be delivered to all the overhauling spots quickly and accurately. The manned workbasket, central supporting column and both of the top and bottom revolving supporting arms formed a four-bar mechanism to ensure the manned workbasket remained horizontal throughout the travelling process. In order to verify the reasonability of this workbench, simulation analysis of dynamics and statics was done by MATLAB and ADAMS.

A new hybrid single cone bit was designed by connecting the teeth palm with conical tooth and the cone with PDC teeth. The hybrid single cone bit was added with the PDC teeth based on general single cone bit, which broke rock by shocking and shearing. The big end of hybrid single cone passed through the center of bottom hole, and all teeth rings contacted with wall of hole which could achieve gauge protection during rock breaking. A finite element model of interaction between hybrid single cone bit and rock was established, and the bottom hole model, the main cutting force and rock breaking volume were simulated and analyzed. Bench test was carried out to verify the drilling pressure and the drilling depth which were obtained by the numerical simulation. Research results showed that the drilling pressure and the drilling depth obtained by numerical simulation conformed to bench test results, and the regulation of rock breaking load was consistent with the design characteristics of the cone bit structure. Comparing with the spherical single cone bit, the side force of hybrid single cone bit was reduced by 39.6%, and the rock breaking efficiency increased by 33%. The stability was higher when drilling using the hybrid single cone bit, and it could reduce the probability of well deviation as well. According to the results, the numerical simulation is effective to study the rock breaking law of the hybrid single cone bit, which provides a basis for further design and performance evaluation of the drill bit.
