Output Equation

Four angular displacement equations are derived for the spatial 5R-C hexagon from which an input-output equation of 16th degree in the tan-half-angle of the output angular displacement for each of the RCRRRR, RRCRRR mechanisms and the yet unsolved RRRRRC2 mechanism can be obtained by the elimination of two unwanted variables in a single operation. This novel problem formulation is a general solution for all 5R-C mechanisms. Results are verified by a numerical example.

Abstract This paper presents closed-form polynomial solutions to the displacement analysis problem of planar 10-link mechanisms with 1 degree-of-freedom (DOF). Using the successive elimination procedure presented herein, the input-output (I/O) polynomials as well as the number of assembly configurations for five mechanisms resulting from two 10-link kinematic chains are presented. It is shown that the displacement analysis problems for all five mechanisms can be reduced to a univariate polynomial devoid of any extraneous roots. This univariate polynomial corresponds to the I/O polynomial of the mechanism. In addition, one of the examples also illustrates how trigonometric manipulations in conjunction with tangent half-angle substitutions can lead to non-trivial extraneous roots in the solution process. Theoretical conditions for identifying and eliminating these extraneous roots are also presented.

Output Equation

Based on the displacement equations for the general n-bar, single-loop spatial linkage, obtained elsewhere, the displacement analysis for a special case of the 7R spatial mechanism is carried out. In this mechanism the successive rotation axes are perpendicular to each other, the distances between axes 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, are equal and the offsets along axes 4 and 5 are zero, when input axis is labeled axis 1. In this fashion, there still remain nine free linkage parameters. Input-output equation is of the eighth-degree in the tangent of half the output angle. A particular case of this one, where all the distances between axes are equal and all the offsets along axes are zero, leads to an input-output equation of the fourth-degree in the same quantity, with a maximum of four closures. This mechanism resulted to be a double-rocker.

This paper presents an analytical method on the investigation of the motion characteristics of a class of spatial mechanical components involving the ball-and-trunnion type of joint, namely, the multiple-pode joint. Algebraic derivations of the input-output equation and explicit relations for motion parameters are presented for these joints as well as their shaft couplings. From this general displacement analysis, some insights into the basic nature and behavior of the multiple-pode joint are observed and interpreted. The creation of shaft couplings using these joints and their functional analysis are also illustrated in several cases.

Output Equation

An input-output equation of degree 24 is derived for a spatial 7R mechanism with consecutive pair axes intersecting. This mechanism is essentially the mathematical model for the kinematic analysis of a lobster’s arm which is an open 6R chain with mutually perpendicular consecutive pair axes, the geometry of which was first described by Willis [4] in 1841. The analysis of this special 7R mechanism constitutes a major step towards the solution of the general 7R mechanism with seven axes arbitrarily oriented in space.

Displacement Equation

The input-output displacement equation is expressed as a degree eight polynomial in the half-tangent of the output angular displacement. A procedure for determining uniquely all the linkage variables verifies the closures and in addition explains the physical significance of the closures of equivalent five-link R5 spherical mechanisms. The equation can be used to generate input-output functions of spatial five-link RCCRR and RCRCR mechanisms. The results are illustrated by numerical examples.

In this paper a new computational technique for the inverse position problem of a 7R robot is presented. Instead of reducing the problem to one highly complicated input-output equation, we work with a system of 10 very simple polynomial equations. We show the total degree of the system is 16, in agreement with previous works. Moreover we present a numerical example confirms the technique. The whole process is simple and easy to program.
