Mechanical analysis about the gas spring support structure of the display and control console

  Objectives  The gas spring support structure of the military display and control console can effectively guarantee the automatic turning of the control unit under the action of the gas spring and slide rail. In order to enable the gas spring to provide effective support force, provide a basis for the assembly workers to adjust the support force of the gas spring, and reduce the scrap rate of the gas spring,

  Methods  the two-dimensional statics equation of the gas spring support structure was established based on the structure of the military console and the two-dimensional mechanical model of the gas spring support structure. By solving the equations in different states, the method of the support force of the gas spring support structure was proposed. Through practical application, the calculation method of the support force of the gas spring support structure was verified.

  Results  The verification results show that the results obtained by the calculation method of the support force of the gas spring support structure are consistent with those from practical experience.

  Conclusions  The calculation method of the support force of the gas spring support structure can be used as a basis for assembly workers to adjust the support force of the gas spring.
