Virtual assembly of automobile rack and pinion steering gear refers to that in the virtual environment, designers can easily establish and modify the model, change the assembly structure of products, reduce the cost of assembled products and shorten the design cycle. The virtual assembly of automobile rack and pinion steering gear is not only a process of repositioning the part model according to the constraint relationship, but also simulates the product assembly process according to the product characteristics, and allows the user to control the virtual assembly process of automobile rack and pinion steering gear, which is used to check whether the product can be assembled in reality. In order to use the virtual assembly technology of automobile rack and pinion steering gear to assemble the required products conveniently and quickly, the following effects in the virtual assembly process of automobile rack and pinion steering gear must be considered:
(1) The factors affecting the virtual assembly of automotive rack and pinion steering gear and the conditions for completing the virtual assembly are considered.
(2) It is considered that the virtual assembly of automobile rack and pinion steering gear is related to the actual assembly conditions.
(3) Further develop the software and hardware required for the virtual assembly of automobile rack and pinion steering gear, make the software and hardware more convenient to simulate the real assembly environment, and make the virtual assembly more practical.
Virtual assembly of automotive rack and pinion steering gear is a comprehensive and complex work, which involves many contents, such as material analysis and selection of products, tolerance analysis of parts, structure and distribution of parts, assembly process planning of parts and so on. The advantages of virtual assembly of automobile rack and pinion steering gear are mainly as follows:
(1) Draw up the structural scheme of automobile rack and pinion steering gear and optimize the assembly structure of the product.
(2) As the basis and foundation of manufacturability of automotive rack and pinion steering gear.
(3) Improve the assembly performance of automobile rack and pinion steering gear and reduce the product assembly cost.
(4) Technical guarantee and support to realize the concurrent design of automotive rack and pinion steering gear.
