Abstract

In the investigation,a new type of spatial 5- DOF parallel mechanism is constructed by constraining branched chains,and is used to realize the three translational DOF and two rotational DOF of a moving platform.First,the DOFs of the mechanism are analyzed by means of the screw theory,and the constraint and movement sub- matrices of the mechanism are deduced.On this basis,a complete Jacobin matrix of the mechanism is esta- blished. Then,the singular conditions of the mechanism are analyzed on the basis of the Jacobin matrix,and two methods to avoid the singularity configuration of the mechanism are proposed by choosing the working range of the moving platform or by changing the mechanism dimensions.Finally,the correctness and effectiveness of the pro- posed method is verified by a numerical example.
