Research on Design and Simulation of Four-Bar Linkage Mechanism of Hydraulic Support Based on Virtual Prototype Technology

Yue Kan Zhang, Lin Xiao

Abstract

Four-bar linkage mechanism of the hydraulic support is designed by means of analytical and graphical method. A 3D kinematics model with Pro/E software is set up for the hydraulic support. The simulation analysis and interference of the hydraulic support is carried out and the motion path of the four-bar linkage mechanism under the real project condition is shown. The simulation result shows that the design of the four-bar linkage mechanism is reasonable and the designed hydraulic support meets its actual work requirements.
