3-D Visual Design of Casting Crane Trolley Based on Large Data

Casting cranes are special equipment to lifting the ladle in metal smelting workshop, the design of them are directly related to the safety of production. In the traditional design method, the design of the mechanical components and the choice of the calculation are time-consuming and laborious, and the design efficiency is low. Today, the parts of casting crane have standardized, and they are helpful to automatically design by using computers. In this study, a parametric design system of casting crane trolley is established by using secondary development of SolidWorks based on the large data of the basic parts. The system can realize precise design of casting crane trolley whose institution is complex. And this is helpful for the development of new models and quality improvement of this special equipment.
