Abstract

The exhaust hood on the welding torch can effectively capture the welding fume, but it may affect the worker’s vision. Take the commonly used gas protect welding torch as the tool model, and take the height and weight percent of 95 China male workers as the digital model of welder in this study. The static strength of welding with squatting posture was stimulated by the Static Strength Prediction tool in Jack software, and the best arm bending position in the squat welding was obtained. The influence of three different sizes of the exhaust hood on the welder’s field of vision was analyzed by the Vision Analysis tool in Jack software based on the result of the arm bending position, and the suitable size of the exhaust hood was determined from the visual angle. The results of the research and application were also discussed.
