Abstract: Aiming at realizing the optimization of clamping mechanism of the climb pipe robot, using three dimensional modeling software SolidWorks climb pipe robot virtual prototype was established, the robot motion simulation of clamping mechanism was conducted by using dynamic analysis software ADAMS,through the ADAMS virtual prototype technology, the contact between the wheel and the pipe was tested, the size of each structure was optimized, the optimal design of clamping mechanism was completed,the action of the simulation curve and optimizing the path curve of the clamping mechanism was given, the optimal results of the data was gained.The results indicate that when thrust of rod 7 is 65.041 N, the robot can be moved stability, so it is able to accurately select motor parameters and it is set the stage for the actual product to verify in the future.
