Optimization of transmission system design based on genetic algorithm

Transmission system is a crucial precision mechanism for twin-screw chemi-mechanical pulping equipment. The structure of the system designed by traditional method is not optimal because the structure designed by the traditional methods is easy to fall into the local optimum. To achieve the global optimum, this article applies the genetic algorithm which has grown in recent years in the field of structure optimization. The article uses the volume of transmission system as the objective function to optimize the structure designed by traditional method. Compared to the simulation results, the original structure is not optimal, and the optimized structure is tighter and more reasonable. Based on the optimized results, the transmission shafts in the transmission system are designed and checked, and the parameters of the twin screw are selected and calculated. The article provided an effective method to design the structure of transmission system.
