Abstract
In order to solve the problem of deformation of the base and the change of static performance due to the deformation of the base caused by various devices on the base of an automatic grinder, the automatic grinder base was modeled in 3D and imported into Workbench for static analysis Based on the static analysis, topology optimization is carried out to optimize the base structure to achieve the lightweight design and performance improvement of the automatic grinder base. Through topology optimization and analysis of cloud map and actual working conditions, two structural optimization schemes are proposed. Finally, through static analysis of the two optimization schemes, the feasibility of the scheme is verified and its advantages and disadvantages are compared, and the automatic grinding machine base is obtained. The optimal structure optimization scheme, the weight of the optimized base is reduced by 11.6%.
