Abstract

The kinematics and force analysis of the lifting mechanism of the detachable container garbage truck is performed in this article. First of all, the structural features and working mechanism of detachable container garbage truck are introduced. Then, for each working condition of the DCG truck, kinematic models are established, and the force analysis of the lifting mechanism is performed. Finally, the movement of a 20 ton DCG truck is calculated and analyzed as an example. This study provides a theoretical basis for the optimized design of DCGgarbage truck.

Keywords: Detachable container garbage truck, lifting mechanism, kinematic analysis, force analysis.
