The invention discloses a lightweight design method for large-size die-
casting machine tail boards. The lightweight design method includes building three-dimensional models through computer-aided
cartography (CAC), building a virtual prototype (VPT) through multibody
dynamic simulation software to perform
simulation and to draw curves of acting force, subjecting existing
tail boards, in reference types, of die clamping mechanisms to numerical
simulation of
static performance and dynamic performance through
computer aided engineering (CAE), calculating to obtain the stress, the rigidity and the
modal frequency threshold, defining the
design space and the non-
design space of the
tail boards, searching the optimum load transmission path meeting requirements of
critical threshold and large-sized tail board lightweight structure meeting requirements of
processing technique, and finally building lightweight models by digitizing means, and performing analysis
verification so as to realize the lightweight design on the large-sized die-
casting machine tail boards. By comprehensive application of multiple digitizing design techniques and variable-
density method based
topological optimization design techniques, work efficiency of design staff can be improved, weight of the large-sized die-
casting machine tail boards can be reduced, and
processing feasibility is guaranteed.
