Abstract:In order to further improve the flexibility and reconfigurability of mountain orchard transporter, a parallel mechanism of cable-driven orchard transporter is proposed in this paper. The low-altitude transportation of orchard is achieved by setting up pile points on the orchard hill and controlling the movement of parallel wire ropes. By analyzing the movement and force of the cable in the working process of the transporter, a three-dimensional spatial route model of the parallel mechanism is established. On the basis of the mathematical model, the kinematics and mechanics of the model are analyzed by numerical simulation, and the variation law of the cable speed and traction in the transportation process is obtained. The simulation results show that the cable-driven orchard conveyor based on parallel structure changes slowly and evenly in the course of transportation under different deviation angles of transportation routes. Parallel mechanism ensures the stability of the system, and its reconfigurable characteristics further expand the scope of application of transport aircraft.
