Cam Profile

The formation of parallel indexing cam profile was described in detail with the calculation of the cam profile data. With VB as the software platform, the parallel indexing cam contour was calculated, the contour mapping was also displayed, and the data was saved as required format. Then a three-dimensional entity of the parallel indexing cam mechanism is drawn up directly in SolidWorks in order to perform the 3D parameterization design and motion emulation of the parallel indexing cam mechanism. This can help designers to find the problems, such as the rotation difficulties caused by excessive pressure angle, the motion distortion caused by small radius of curvature. So the designer can make modification in time to improve design quality and shorten the product development cycles. The software platform can select type of the interval splitter by calculating and selecting the power motor according to the input drive shaft angle and the output shaft such shares. The system could perform the transmission of information and share the information between subsystems, enhancing the degree of integration and automation of parallel indexing cam design and manufacture. A good software platform was developed for parallel indexing cam mechanism’s design, manufacturing and performance studying. Finally, the example of interval paper-feed mechanism in an automatic die-cutting machine was verified the usability and effectiveness of the software platform.

Abstract This paper presents a method for the analytical design of cams, based upon independent position equations. From these equations, one can obtain general expressions for cam parameters such as the cam contour, pressure angle, radius of curvature, etc. This procedure is applicable for cam systems with any type of follower motion. The mathematical directness of this method makes it possible to investigate thoroughly even the most complicated cam situations, e.g., three-dimensional cams. Also, it is shown how design charts and procedures may be developed to facilitate the solution of particular cam design problems.

<p>To determine the frequency of apical and cervical curvatures in human molars using the radius method and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Four hundred images of mandibular and maxillary first and second molars were selected from a database of CBCT exams. The radius of curvature of curved root canals was measured using a circumcenter based on three mathematical points. Radii were classified according to the following scores: 0 - straight line; 1 - large radius (r>8 mm, mild curvature); 2 - intermediate radius (r>4 and r<8 mm, moderate curvature); and 3 - small radius (r≤4 mm, severe curvature). The frequency of curved root canals was analyzed according to root canal, root thirds, and coronal and sagittal planes, and assessed using the chi-square test (significance at α=0.05). Of the 1,200 evaluated root canals, 92.75% presented curved root canals in the apical third and 73.25% in the cervical third on coronal plane images; sagittal plane analysis yielded 89.75% of curved canals in the apical third and 77% in the cervical third. Root canals with a large radius were significantly more frequent when compared with the other categories, regardless of root third or plane. Most root canals of maxillary and mandibular first and second molars showed some degree of curvature in the apical and cervical thirds, regardless of the analyzed plane (coronal or sagittal).</p>

The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of gear geometry on the discharge of gear pumps. We have used gears of circular-arc tooth profile as gear pumps and have compared between these types of gearing and spur, helical gear pumps according to discharge. The chosen module change from 2 to 16 mm, number of teeth change from 8 to 20 teeth, pressure angle change from 10 to 30 deg, face width change from 20 to 120 mm, correction factor change from −1 to 1, helix angle change from 5 to 30 deg, and radii of curvature equal 1.4, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.75, and 3m are considered. The authors deduced that the tooth rack profile with radius of curvature equal 2.5, 2.75, 3m for all addendum circular arc tooth and convex-concave tooth profile, and derived equations representing the tooth profile, and calculated the points of intersections between curves of tooth profile. We drive the formulas for the volume of oil between adjacent teeth. Computer program has been prepared to calculate the discharge from the derived formulae with all variables for different types of gear pumps. Curves showing the change of discharge with module, number of teeth, pressure angle, face width, correction factor, helix angle, and radius of curvature are presented. The results show that: 1) The discharge increases with increasing module, number of teeth, positive correction factor, face width and radius of curvature of the tooth. 2) The discharge increases with increasing pressure angle to a certain value and then decreases with increasing pressure angle. 3) The discharge decreases with increasing helix angle. 4) The convex-concave circular-arc gears gives discharge higher than that of alla ddendum circular arc, spur, and helical gear pumps respectively. 5) A curve fitting of the results are done and the following formulae derived for the discharge of involute and circular arc gear pumps respectively: Q=A1bm2z0.895e0.065xe0.0033αe−0.0079βQ=A2bm2z0.91ρ10.669e−0.0047β

Abstract A method for the integrated design and manufacture of radial plate cams is discussed. Currently, a cam-follower system is designed by specifying constraints on the motion of the follower. The physical cam contour or cam pitch curve are not mathematically defined. The cam is manufactured from the discretized follower motion program. A new method for cam design is proposed which will produce a smooth, mathematically defined cam pitch curve while maintaining the proper constraints on the follower motion. Piecewise polynomial functions in the form of rational and/or non-rational splines may be used. Cams will be manufactured using smoothed profiles and tested for improved dynamic performance. The results of initial investigations of cam profile design for this research are presented.

ABSTRACTContinued advances in digital design software and 3D printing methods enable innovative approaches in the development of new educational tools for laboratory-based STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning. The decreasing cost of 3D printing equipment and greater access provided by university fabrication centers afford unique opportunities for educators to transcend the limitations of conventional modes of student engagement with analytical instrumentation. This work shares successful efforts at Wabash College to integrate user-friendly and inexpensive 3D printed instruments kits into introductory STEM coursework. The laboratory kits and activities described provide new tools for engaging students in the exploration of instrument design and performance. These experiences provide effective ways to assist active-learners in discovering the technology and fundamental principles of analysis and deliberately confront the “black box” perception of instrumentation.

With the continuous development of west of China, a new kind of tunnel, namely spiral tunnel, has appeared in the expressway. Due to the special linear pattern, the resistance of airflow in spiral tunnel has been found to change, but there are few relevant researches at present. Therefore, numerical calculation method is used to study the variation of flow resistance in spiral pipe with different curvature. The results show that when the fluid flows in the spiral pipe, the wind speed is not uniformly distributed. The highest speed is not in the center of the pipe, but on the outside of the pipe, and the offset distance decreases with the increase of the radius of curvature. In addition, the change of flow resistance in spiral pipe is studied, and it is found that the change rate of flow resistance decreases with the increase of curvature radius. It shows that the radius of curvature is negatively correlated with the flow resistance.
