Simulation design and analysis of sliver guide mechanism of gilling machine with MAPLE

The motion design and simulation analysis are carried out by applying the calculative and graphic function of MAPLE to the ellipse gear-sine mechanism that is used usually in sliver guide mechanism of wool spinning gilling machine,so as to meet requirements of uniform motion of silver guiding. The design results indicated that the change rule that satisfies the mechanism simulation and reflects the output speed and acceleration is obtained. At the same time,a more ideal motional state is realized by modifying the eccentricity of an ellipse gear,so that the requirement of sliver transport on the sliver guide mechmism is met. It can be seen that this method which aviods the complicated graphic representation or explanatory method,and is fast,simple and effective. This analytical method has good applicability to motion analysis of other mechanisms.
