Abstract

On the basis of analysis of the working principle and operational features of two-DOF controllable mechanism loader, combined with the controllable mechanism and metamorphic mechanism theory, a kind of active metamorphic method is put forward in this paper. In addition, the paper illustrates the working principle of loading mechanism with active metamorphic characteristics and analyzes the variation law of topological structure and DOF of this type of loading mechanism in different working stages. At last, the feasibility of two degrees of freedom loading mechanism driven by one driving lever is justified, which lays a foundation for further development and application of this type of loading mechanism.
