Research on the Multi-Objective Optimal Design of Adjusting Mechanisms Considering Force Transmission Performance

Abstract

For the guide vane adjusting mechanism, precision represents the primary design requirement. Meanwhile, due to the presence of aerodynamic loads under actual operating conditions, stagnation forces emerge that affect the mechanism motion characteristics, including the response speed and precision. This paper establishes kinematic and static analysis models of the guide vane adjusting mechanism through analytical modeling methods, investigates analytical approaches for mechanism adjustment precision and stagnation force, and conducts error and sensitivity analyses of the mechanism parameters based on these analytical models. Building upon this foundation, an optimization design method integrating adjustment precision and force transmission performance is proposed using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. Optimizing the critical design parameters, such as the mechanism dimensions and positions, can enhance both the adjustment precision and force transmission performance. Through case studies, significant reductions in motion precision errors and the peak stagnation force and maximum differences in stagnation force were achieved, validating the feasibility of this optimization design approach.
