The invention discloses a ground truss model-based planar
rigid body guide mechanism automatic generation method, which comprises the following steps of: planning a motion track of an end
effector, and dividing a
design domain to initialize a ground truss model; determining a motion form of a driving rod in the model, adding a load to an end
effector, and initializing iteration parameters of a moving asymptote; calculating
strain energy in the model, performing
kinematics analysis, and calculating a target function value; inputting the target function and the design variable into an optimizer to construct a Lagrange duality problem, and analyzing and calculating the Lagrange duality problem to obtain an updated parameter of the optimization variable; when the iteration
step number is greater than a set value or the objective function is satisfied, forcibly stopping the
iteration process; otherwise, continuously calculating the
strain energy in the model and carrying out
kinematics analysis, and repeating iteration until the convergence condition is met; and after the
iterative design is finished, the configuration is judged through
motion simulation, mechanism simplification is realized, and the design is completed. According to the method, mechanism
model selection, size generation and trajectory tracking in the
topological optimization process are reliably realized.
