Research on key joint and test platform of high-payload transporter for tokamak
Source abstract
Abstract
The high-payload transporter is a key part of the multipurpose deployer, which is important for realizing the remote handling of tokamaks. This paper presents an analysis of the key joint between the high-payload transporter and the design of the test platform. The kinematic, structural, and load characteristics of the main joints of a heavy-duty manipulator were analyzed according to the peculiarity of high precision, large length, and heavy load of the high-payload transporter. Joint No. 4 (J4) was determined to be the key joint of the high-payload transporter. The peak torque, bending moment, and shear force of J4 under working conditions and seismic conditions were determined via numerical simulations. The functions and key technical parameters of the test platform for J4 were determined according to the test analysis results and numerical simulation. The structure of the test platform was designed, and its working principle was described.
