74872 - Modular Design and Simulation Optimization of Indoor Assembled Heavy-Duty Installation Transportation Equipment 

Modular product series can be realized based on this modular platform, with wide versatility and

scalability, which can reduce production costs and make products highly competitive. The modular

and lightweight design of large-scale machinery and equipment has always been the focus of

attention. Indoor heavy-duty installation and transportation devices have many application

scenarios, such as nuclear power stations, hydropower stations, aircraft assembly workshops and

other places where heavy equipment is handled and installed.

However, the indoor space is becoming more and more compact, and traditional installation

equipment such as cranes and cranes cannot be used. There is an urgent need for indoor heavy-duty

installation devices with the characteristics of modular assembly, high versatility, light weight, and

low environmental conditions. In this application scenario, through the analysis of several commonly

used lifting methods, combined with the design characteristics of its structure, in the conceptual

design stage, with the support of innovative design methods, relevant research is carried out:

1) Modular design framework to carry out the modular research of the product, and initially

designed a new modular assembled hydraulic gantry crane structure. With the lightweight design

concept, the lightweight features of indoor heavy-duty installation and transportation products are

realized.

2) Using artificial intelligence algorithms to realize the decision-making and optimization of modular

design schemes in the conceptual design stage.

3) Using finite element analysis technology, using ANSYS software to analyze the structural strength,

stiffness and force characteristics of the modular design from static and dynamic aspects. At the

same time, under the premise of meeting the structural rigidity, strength requirements and the

overall structure unchanged, the shape of the structure is optimized to make the door crane

lightweight.

The design ideas and methods of the conceptual design scheme have guiding significance for

the modular design of the same type of large-scale mechanical products, but the realization

and decision-making of the modular scheme is not perfect, and further research is needed for this.
