The wire sawing machine is a large-scale concrete structure cutting equipment and mining quarrying machine used in the wild, in order to reduce costs and reduce energy consumption during manufacturing, transportation and use, on the premise of ensuring its performance, it is of great significance to explore its lightweight design method. This paper uses a multidisciplinary approach to construct a research method model for product lightweight design, comprehensively considering the aesthetic principles and usability principles of products, combining structural optimization theory and Kansei engineering theory, referencing three points of modeling structure, material selection and usage, through to the two aspects of physical and visual lightweight quantitative evaluation standard to determine the optimal solution for lightweight design. First, use Solidworks to build a three-dimensional model of the wire sawing machine; then, use ANSYS Workbench to perform finite element analysis on the mechanical properties of the frame to confirm it has optimization space of the frame strength; finally, through topology optimization of the frame structure and the design of the machine casing, the weight of the mainframe was reduced by 23%. The physical and visual lightweight results verifies the feasibility of the lightweight design model applied in the product design process and provides a useful reference for the sustainable development of industrial products.
