Abstract

A hydraulic breaker is an attachment installed at the end of excavator arm and is used for breaking. As per the authors' knowledge, there have been no research results on reducing the weight of the hydraulic breaker even though this weight reduction is very important for improving the performance of the excavator. In this study, we minimize the weight of the housing of the hydraulic breaker under normal operating conditions, while the maximum stress of the housing is lower than the allowable stress. A meta-model, which is generated by using the CAE results for the sampling design points determined by an orthogonal array, is used to solve the minimization problem. The weight of the housing according to the optimal design is found to be lower than the original weight by 4.8% while satisfying the constraint on the maximum stress.

유압 브레이커는 굴착기의 암 끝에 장착되어 파쇄작업을 하는 부착작업기이다. 그러나 굴착기의 성능에 치명적인 영향을 미치는 유압 브레이커의 중량에 대한 연구는 아직 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유압 브레이커에서 대부분의 중량을 차지하고 있는 하우징에 대한 최적설계를 수행하였다. 유압 브레이커 하우징의 설계 요구사항은 정상 운전상태에서 파손없이 중량을 최소화하는 것이다. 직교배열표를 이용하여 실험점을 선정하였고, 실험점에서의 결과를 바탕으로 근사모델을 생성하여 최적 설계안을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 모든 구속조건을 만족하면서 유압 브레이커 하우징의 중량을 4.8% 감소시켰다.
