Abstract

The loading of mobile heat source and boundary conditions setting are difficult problems in the analysis of thermal characteristics of machine tools. Taking the machine tool feed system as an example, a novel method for loading of mobile heat source was proposed by establishing a function which was constructed by the heat source and time. The convective heat transfer coefficient is the key parameter of boundary conditions, and it varies with the temperature. In this paper, a model of "variable convection heat transfer coefficient" was proposed, and the setting of boundary conditions of thermal analysis was closer to the real situation. Finally, comparing results of above method and experimental data, the accuracy and validity of this method was proved, meanwhile, the simulation calculation and simulation time was reducing greatly.
