Structural design and kinematics simulation of double-cam connecting rod slag

Abstract

To solve the problems of difficult slag picking, danger, and low efficiency of manual slagging in the casting process, a double-cam connecting rod slagging structure is designed for the zinc ingot production line. First, a set of linkage mechanisms for slagging action is designed using geometric formulas, which are applied to the design of the overall contour of the cam through Excel and SolidWorks' Cosmos/Motion plug-ins, and then the kinematics simulation is carried out using Adams software. Finally, the simulation results show that the double cam connecting rod slag structure has stable work, reliable structure, no obvious vibration shock, and the mechanical structure meets the requirements in the process of simulating the removal of zinc slag.
