In this paper, the virtual prototype technology is used for the analyzing and optimizing high voltage breaker actuator’s cam machine. While the high voltage breaker closing, the moving contactor can have the perfect dynamic property by the optimal data. The contactor’s dynamic property curve should be in line with perfect dynamic property curve. The velocity curve can be gotten by analyzing virtual prototype. According to the theory of high voltage breaker’s dynamic property, a smooth voltage curve can be fitted. This fitting curve as the perfect voltage curve can be used for optimizing the cam machine. Supposing other work condition is invariable, the key points on cam profile which decide the dynamic property of the cam machine are analyzed. The coordinates of the key points are optimized and the cam profile is amended. Analyzing the dynamic property of the breaker’s virtual prototype with the amended cam machine, the contactor’s dynamic property curve is perfect. In this paper, the optimal coordinates of the key points are used on the cam profile, and the high voltage breaker actuator’s cam machine is optimal.

Purpose This paper aims to summarize design rules based on the process characteristics of selective laser melting (SLM) and structural optimization and apply the design rules in the lightweight design of an aluminum alloy antenna bracket. The design goal is to reduce 30 per cent of the weight while maintaining the stress levels in the original part. Design/methodology/approach To reduce weight as much as possible, the titanium alloy with higher specific strength was selected during the process of optimization. The material distribution of the bracket was improved by the topology optimization design. The redesign for SLM was used to obtain an optimization model, which was more suitable for SLM. The component performance was improved by shape optimization. The modal analysis data of the structural optimization model were compared with those of the stochastic lightweight model to verify the structural optimization model. The scanning data were compared with those of the original model to verify whether the model was suitable for SLM. Findings Structural optimization design for antenna bracket realized the mass decrease of 30.43 per cent and the fundamental frequency increase of 50.18 per cent. The modal analysis data of the stochastic lightweight model and the structural optimization model indicated that the optimization performance of structural optimization method was better than that of the stochastic lightweight method. The comparison results between the scanning data of the forming part and the original data confirmed that the structural optimization design for SLM lightweight component could achieve the desired forming accuracy. Originality/value This paper summarizes geometric constraints in SLM and derives design rules of structural optimization based on the process characteristics of SLM. SLM design rules make structural optimization design more reasonable. The combination of structural optimization design and SLM can improve the performance of lightweight antenna bracket significantly.
