INNOVATIVE THREAD METHOD THROUGH CYLINDRICAL HOLES

Innovative activity in the field of engineering and technology, based on the use of best practices, contributes to scientific and technological progress in production. The latest projects in the field of technology significantly increase the technical and economic performance of enterprises. Innovative technical solutions of production nature significantly improve the structure and quality of production. Given the level of the proposed technological changes in the manufacture of threads in through holes, these innovations cover the field of combinatorial and partial. Today mechanical engineering is characterized by mechanization and automation of technological processes, a wide range of products of various parts. Among the non-detachable and detachable joints of parts, the threaded connection is the most common. Simplicity, reliability, the ability to adjust the force with which the conjugate surfaces come into contact, the possibility of repeated cycles of disassembly and assembly, etc., make this type of connection the most commonly used in mechanisms and machines of modern engineering. With the simplicity of the contact pair of threaded joints, where one of them contains the outer and the other the inner screw surface, during their manufacture there are problems that significantly inhibit production. The subject of research of this article is the solution of difficulties of manufacturing of an internal cut in through openings of small diameter by means of a tap. According to various sources, up to 80% of marriage is due to breaking taps. Studies by a group of scientists has found that more than 75% of taps break when the reverse (reverse) stroke of the tap, when the torque reaches its maximum value. The reverse scheme of production of a screw profile of a cutting surface by means of the mechanized devices and their alternative analogs, and also machines of drilling group, is offered.

A Kinematic Analysis Method of Double Roller Tripod Joints Based on the Principle of Conjugate Surfaces

To systematically investigate the contact constraint relationships and the influences of fit clearances on the kinematic performances of a double roller tripod joint (DRTJ), a method for the kinematic analysis of DRTJs is proposed based on the principle of conjugate surfaces. In the proposed method, the constraint relations between rollers and tracks as well as between rollers and trunnions are firstly derived based on the principle of conjugate surfaces. Then, according to the constructed constraint relationships, the kinematic analysis model of a DRTJ considering the influences of fit clearances is established. Next, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by measuring the relative displacements and angles between rollers and tracks via experiment. Finally, kinematic analyses are carried out and the main results show that the relative pitch angle between rollers and tracks are always kept as zeroes under any working condition by designing the shapes of rollers' outer surfaces to be semi-toroid. The fit clearances have little influence on the kinematic performances of the DRTJ, thus proper fit clearances between rollers and tracks as well as between rollers and trunnions can be designed to improve the lubricating conditions of the DRTJ.

Simulation of axicon processing area on technological equipment

Annotation. An analytical expression is obtained for engineering calculation of the regularities of removing the allowance from the flat surface of the part (a rectangle in the form of a flat glass plate of considerable thickness with holes for axicon blanks), which participates in relative and portable movement on the surface of a rotating tool (faceplate) and is in a power circuit with it, which provides automatic self-installation of lapping surfaces. A scheme is proposed for dividing the lapping surfaces of a flat tool and part into ring zones and sectors, resulting in the formation of elementary platforms with reference (calculated) points in their center. Analytical expressions are obtained for calculating the coordinates of these points. The kinematics of the relative movement of the tool and the straightener without oscillation of the upper link is considered, while the sliding of the conjugate surfaces takes place due to rotation of the tool and the straightener installed with a certain eccentricity. An expression is obtained for determining the sliding speed at any point of contact of the conjugate surfaces. Modeling when dealing with relative and portable movement of the upper unit, which allowed obtaining a formula for the slip velocity of the straightener relative to the tool that allows calculation the path of friction in a particular zone in different modes of operation of technological equipment. Modeling can be used as the basis for creating a method for controlling the process of forming conical optical parts (axicons) on serial lever grinding and polishing machines with a flat tool under free lapping conditions, which provide the possibility of obtaining axicons with a deviation of the forming cone from the straightness of no more than ±0.00012 mm.

Photo-Cleavable Peptide-Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Conjugate Surfaces for Light-Guided Control of Cell Adhesion

Photo-responsive cell attachment surfaces can simplify patterning and recovery of cells in microdevices for medicinal and pharmaceutical research. We developed a photo-responsive surface for controlling the attachment and release of adherent cells on a substrate under light-guidance. The surface comprises a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based photocleavable material that can conjugate with cell-adhesive peptides. Surface-bound peptides were released by photocleavage in the light-exposed region, where the cell attachment was subsequently suppressed by the exposed PEG. Simultaneously, cells selectively adhered to the peptide surface at the unexposed microscale region. After culture, the adhered and spread cells were released by exposure to a light with nontoxic dose level. Thus, the present surface can easily create both cell-adhesive and non-cell-adhesive regions on the substrate by single irradiation of the light pattern, and the adhered cells were selectively released from the light-exposed region on the cell micropattern without damage. This study shows that the photo-responsive surface can serve as a facile platform for the remote-control of patterning and recovery of adherent cells in microdevices.

PECULIARITIES IN ROUGHNESS FORMATION OF CONJUGATE CYLINDRICAL AND END SURFACES OF PARTS AT GRINDING WITH ONE TOOL

The paper reports the study of peculiarities in the roughness formation of conjugate cylindrical and end surfaces of machinery at their simultaneous grind-ing with the disk periphery and the end. The analytical dependences for the computation of altitude and step parameters of surface roughness at simultaneous grinding with disk periphery and butt are obtained the authenticity of which is confirmed in the course of experimental investigations. It is defined that altitude and step roughness parameters of cylindrical surfaces and end surfaces conjugate with them after their simultaneous grinding may differ up to 2-3 times. Lesser roughness is formed on end surfaces which is explained by the large number of disk grain tips contacting with given surfaces of a blank. The roughness step parameters of ground surfaces are influenced considerably by a rounding radius of abrasive grain tips at that the average step of unevenness along a middle line Sm is threefour times greater than the average step S on tips. It is shown that a considerable impact of abrasive tool characteristics and time of surface processing with a grinding disk upon parameters of roughness in conjugate surfaces of parts. Recommendations scientifically substantiated are formulated on the technological support of surface roughness parameter aggregate at simultaneous grind-ing with the disk periphery and the end.

Finally, the functional capability of the device is investigated by means of finite element analysis (FEA) simulations and experimental testing at the macroscale.

Study on the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear based on screw theory

The compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is a new type of gear transmission based on the cam mechanism and the curve-face gear pair. It combines the transmission characteristics of the cam mechanism and noncircular bevel gear. When the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is engaged in the meshing transmission, the rotating center of the cylindrical gear is fixed and used as the driving wheel, and the curve-face gear can generate the helical motion around the axis. In this paper, the meshing characteristics and motion laws of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear are studied based on the theory of screw. Based on the meshing theory of gears, the coordinate system of conjugate surfaces is established, the basic meshing theory and equation are obtained. On this basis, combined with the principle of the cam, the transmission principle is analyzed by the screw theory. The tooth surface equation of the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is deduced based on the meshing theory and the related knowledge of geometry. The motion law of the curve-face gear and the change of the motion law with the change of the basic parameters of the gear pair with different design parameters are calculated and analyzed. An experimental platform is built to verify the law of motion, and the experimental results are compared with the theoretical values. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified, which provides a new way for the research of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear.

Impact of local technological concentrators of stresses upon operation properties of parts worked

It is defined that during the machining of complex surfaces in parts operating under large fluctuating loads, in critical transition areas of profile conjugate surfaces there are formed local technological concentrators of stresses contributing to formation, development of fatigue cracks and to further destruction of parts in the course of operation. Such phenomena are discovered, for instance, at high-loaded gear teeth machining, at turbine blade profile surface machining, at manufacturing large-modular tapered threads and other parts having complex profile surfaces. There are developed and introduced methods for value decrease of such stress concentrators on the basis of the application of different methods for local surface plastic deformation of a surface layer in transition areas of profiles. As a result the probability of fatigue crack formation decreased considerably and fatigue strength in parts machined increased essentially.
