Short summary
To obtain all mechanical schemes, scholars in this field have proposed an innovative design method using kinematic chain configuration synthesis. However, the existing innovative design method easily produces redundant design schemes. We analyze the similar component discrimination method for mechanisms from the perspective of graph theory and apply it to the specialization of topological graphs to solve the problem of redundant design schemes.
