In this paper, a novel single-DOF six-bar mechanical press mechanism is proposed. In order to realize the static and dynamic analysis of this six-bar mechanism, a kinematic model was established by complex number vector method. The kinetostatic equation and kinetic equation of the mechanism were established by D’Alembert Principle and Lagrange Method respectively. Finally, theoretical computation and simulation were carried out by using MATLAB and ADAMS virtual prototype respectively to obtain the curves ofthe position, velocity andacceleration of the slider, and the changing curves of the balance moment and driving torque of the articulate. The research can not only provide theoretical basis for kinematic analysis, the solution and physical design of balance moment and driving torque of the six-bar mechanism, but it can also provide an effective method for the static and kinematic analyses of other multi-link mechanisms.

As a new type of forging equipment,multi-link mechanical press has the advantages of high working accuracy, good operation, excellent dynamic performance and high production efficiency[1-3]. Nowmulti-link mechanical press has been applied in many important fields[4-5], such as automotive, military, aerospace, etc.

Static and dynamic analyses of multi-link mechanical press mechanism, which is the foundation of study on stiffness and control system design, can also provide an important theoretical basis for structure design of the mechanism. Up to now, domestic and overseas scholars have done a large number of researches on multi-link mechanism and achieved a series of research results in these areas[6-10]. Du et al.[11]designed a new type of hybrid driven seven bar press mechanism, which realized the journey and velocity control of the working table of the press. Guo et al.[12]studied on the trajectory planning and optimization of the variable velocity servo motor drive crank, using hybrid servo presses of feedback control, to achieve different stamping movement. Li et al.[13]put forward the idea of hybrid driven press, and introduced the characteristics of the hybrid drive machine, and the feasibility of the research of hybrid drive machine is prospected. Zhou et al.[14]studied the optimization of main driving mechanism for servo-punch press. However, there have been few efforts made oriented to analytical modeling which contains kinematic model, kinetostatics model and dynamic model at the same time. Then the static and dynamic analyses have not been sufficiently considered.

This paper takes a six-bar mechanism as an example, the analytical models of the mechanism are established, and kinematics and force analysis of the mechanism are carried out. Based on the kinematic analysis, the displacement, velocity and acceleration equations of the press are derived by using the complex vector method.Considering the gravity and inertia force of each component, the dynamic and statics analysis of the six-bar mechanical press is carried out.And the dynamic model of the press is established by using Lagrange method. Finally, by numerical computation and virtual prototype simulation, the correctness of the analytical models is verified. According to this, the structure model of the six-bar mechanical press is designed, as shown in Fig.1.

As shown in Fig.1, this novel six-bar mechanism which is proposed in this paper includes Frame 1, Crank 2, Linkage 3, Quarter Panel 4, Linkage 5 and Slider 6.

The degree of freedom of the mechanism is one, and the motion of the mechanism can be driven by Crank 2. The structure chart of six-link mechanical press is shown in Fig.2.
