ABSTRACT

In this paper, the switch latch mechanism is the research object. The virtual prototype model of the mechanism is established by software ADAMS and ANSYS. The curve of the spring force of the latch spring in the switch latch mechanism is simulated and analyzed, aiming to provide data support for the optimal design of the latch spring. By comparing and analyzing the results of multi-rigid dynamics and rigid-flexible coupled dynamics, this paper has obtained the research focus of two dynamic analysis methods. The research show that the results of the rigid-flexible coupled dynamics simulation analysis are more in line with the actual working conditions, and have more practical reference value.
