Abstract

To meet the requirements of bearing capacity, cargo space, rotation axis location, and so on for large-scale burden motion simulation, this paper synthesized a class of swaying platform architectures with a virtual rotation axis, based on the principle of equivalent substituting of kinematic chain and rotation condition of parallel mechanism. On the base of restraining-screw group, this paper analysed the structure characters and degree of freedom of the swaying platform architectures, discussed the reasonable of selecting actuating, and obtained forward and reverse position solution of one kind architecture. The architecture not only has large cargo space, but also can reach static-load balancing, which can apply to large-scale burden motion simulation platform.
