Description

This paper presents the methods of structural-parametric synthesis and kinematic analysis of a parallel manipulator with three degrees of freedom working in a cylindrical coordinate system. This parallel manipulator belongs to a RoboMech class because it works under the set laws of motions of the end-effector and actuators, which simplifies the control system and improves its dynamics. Parallel manipulators of a RoboMech class work with certain structural schemes and geometrical parameters of their links. The considered parallel manipulator is formed by connecting the output point to a base using one passive and two active closing kinematic chains (CKC). Passive CKC have zero degree of freedom and it does not impose a geometrical constraint on the movement of the output point, so the geometrical parameters of the links of the passive CKC are freely varied. Active CKCs have active kinematic pairs and they impose geometrical constraints on the movement of the output point. The geometrical parameters of the links of the active CKCs are determined on the basis of the approximation problems of the Chebyshev and least-square approximations. For this, the equations of geometrical constraints are derived in the forms of functions of weighted differences, which are presented in the forms of generalized (Chebyshev) polynomials. This leads to linear iterative problems.

The direct and inverse problems of the kinematics of the investigated parallel manipulator are solved. In the direct kinematics problem, the coordinates of the output point are determined by the given position of the input links. In the inverse kinematics problem, the positions of the input links are determined by the coordinates of the output point. The direct and inverse problems of the kinematics of the investigated parallel manipulator are reduced to solving problems on the positions of Sylvester dyads. Numerical results of structural-parametric synthesis and kinematic analysis of the considered parallel manipulator are presented. The numerical results of the kinematic analysis show that the maximum deviation of the movement of the output point from the orthogonal trajectories is 1.65 %
