Abstract:A new parallel mechanism with three degrees of freedom (3DOF) was put forward, screw theory was applied to analyse the mechanism principle of the parallel mechanism and to calculate the degree of freedom (DOF) of the mechanism. The multibody system dynamics model of the parallel mechanism was established based on the multirigidbody system dynamics theory, and kinematics, inverse kinematics and dynamics simulation analysis was carried out. The results show that in the designed model and dimensions, there is a nonlinear relation between the input and output of the mechanism. Under control the output of the Z axis direction in certain circumstances, the maximum angle of output in X direction is -15 degrees, and the maximum angle of output in Y direction is -17 degrees. The motion curve of velocity and acceleration of the mechanism is gentle, without obvious rigid impact in the mechanism.
