Abstract: To solve the problems of tape tearing, wrinkling and gap control in the winding process of heat insulation, this paper proposes an optimization method of winding path based on multi-factor improved ant colony algorithm. The optimization strategy includes: Constructing the ant decision space, changing the heuristic function, and introducing gap scaling coefficients. Then, using the ACIS geometric modeling library to build the mandrel and tape three-dimensional models, a tape strain calculation method is proposed to evaluate the degree of tape tearing and wrinkling. The winding simulation and experimental verification results show that this method can effectively optimize the winding path of heat insulation, solve the problem of tape tearing and wrinkling, and meet the requirements of winding tape gap, thus improving the quality of heat insulation winding forming. It provides a new path optimization method for heat insulation winding forming process.
