Simulation and design optimization of embedded steam baking integrated machine bottom plate structure

Abstract

To address the challenges related to excessive deformation of the bottom plate during the opening and closing of the steam-baking integrated machine door, a comprehensive approach that incorporates finite element simulation and experimental testing was employed to investigate the plate’s deformation characteristics. Various structural parameters influencing the bottom plate were evaluated, and a series of enhancement strategies for the bottom plate structure were proposed. Following the optimization process, subsidence deformation of the bottom plate was reduced by 64%, and warpage deformation was reduced by 13.6%. Thus, a solid groundwork was established for subsequent structural stiffness analysis and optimization endeavors in the realm of embedded steam-baking integrated machines.
