Abstract

In order to improve the design efficiency and realize the teaching demonstration of large caliber gun recoil mechanism, the three-dimensional motion simulation module of large caliber gun recoil mechanism was developed. The module is composed of parametric design and motion simulation. Based on the structure analysis and motion law of recoil mechanism, the structure template and motion mathematic model of recoil mechanism are established, and the man-machine interactive interface is designed. After the design parameters are input into the interface, the design parameters are calculated by the integrated calculation program, and the recuperator-recoil motion law curve is obtained. The curve is optimized by changing the design parameters, and the 3D solid model is generated by using parameter driven template. With the help of Unity3D software, the movement simulation visualization of gun recoil mechanisim is realized by combining the recuperator-recoil motion curve and 3D solid model.The feasibility and validity of the module are verified by an example of a gun recoil mechanisim. The mathematical calculation model and the motion simulation module design method of gun recoil mechanism can provide a reference for gun designers and teaching staff.
