Optimization of garbage dumping mechanism of intelligent sanitation vehicle based on particle swarm algorithm

Abstract

Aiming at the requirements of low power consumption and light weight of the intelligent garbage collection and transportation equipment of sanitation vehicles, this paper proposes an optimization method based on the particle swarm algorithm. In this paper, the kinematic equation and dynamic equation of the mechanical claw in the dumping action are derived by using the complex interpolation approach. The optimization objectives are the minimum maximum power, the minimum average power, the minimum maximum mutation of the instantaneous driving force and the minimum time-consuming of the dumping action. The garbage dumping angle is selected as constraints, and the arc radius of the dumping track, the centre distance of the mechanical claw’s groove wheels and the time-consuming of the dumping action are optimized. The optimization results show that the optimization objectives have been well optimized except for the increased time-consuming dumping action. And the driving force should act on the axis of the lower groove wheels.
