Abstract

To make the driving force of a zoom cam cylinder stable and easy to control, the correlation between the cam curves of the zoom group and the compensation group is established effectively by reasonably selecting and arranging the coordinate system. Two optimization methods of cam curve are proposed. First, the original data are processed directly by the function of the target cam curve, and then the dynamic parameter such as the pressure angle is verified again to obtain the expected cam curve. This optimization method is simple and convenient, and a variety of optimization results can be constructed. Second, a physical model of multiple cam curves and the driving force with only one variable is constructed. The step search optimization method is used to process the original data point by point, and the best cam curve matching the model is obtained. Through dynamic simulation, it is determined that the cam curves designed by this optimization method can drive the zoom group and compensation group to complete the whole continuous zoom movement with a stable torque.
