摘要：The multi-body dynamics model of windlass was established by RecurDyn and Pro/E in this paper, and the multi-body dynamics simulation was also conducted. According to the results of the multi-body dynamics simulation, structural static analysis on sprocket wheel in dangerous conditions were executed by ANSYS Workbench. The results showed that there are three bearing situations in the meshing transmission process of sprocket wheel and chain: Single tooth bearing, two tooth bearing and carrying equal contact force and two tooth bearing but one tooth contact force reaches the maximum value. The equivalent stress value at the contact position of sprocket wheel and chain exceeds the yield stress of the chain wheel material, but it does not cause damage to chain wheel. In addition to the contact location, the equivalent stress value of the remaining parts of sprocket wheel are in the allowable stress range of sprocket wheel material, comply with the requirement of strength design.
