DESIGN OF MACHINERY SOLUTION MANUAL 3-20-1 2S PROBLEM 3.20 Statement: Figure P3-6 shows a "V-link" off-loading mechanism for a paper roll conveyor. Design a pin- Jointed linkage co replace the air cylinder driver that will rotate the racker arm and V-link through the 90 deg motion shown. Keep the fixed pivots as close to the existing frame as possible, Your fourbar linkage should be Grashof and be in toggle at each extreme position of the rocker arm, Given: Dimensions scaled from Figure P3-6. Rocker arm (link 4) distance between pin centers: Ly:= 320-mm Solution: See Figure P3-6 and Mathcad file P0320, Design choices: 1. Use the same rocker arm that was used with the air eylinder driver. 2. Place the pivot Oy 80 mm tothe right ofthe right leg and on a horizontal line with the center of the pin on the rocker arm, 3. Design for ewo-position, 90 deg of output rocker motion with no quick return, similar to Example 32, 1, Draw the rocker arm (link 4) O,B in both extreme positions, 8; and B, in any convenient location such that the desired angle of motion 0; is subtended. In this solution, link 4 is drawn such that the two extreme positions ‘each make an angle of 45 deg to the vertical Draw the chord 48, and extend it in any convenient direction, In this solution it was extended horizontally to the left 3, Mark the center 3 on the extended line such that it is 80 mm to the right ofthe right leg. This will allow sufficient space for a supporting pillow block bearing. 4, Biseet the line segment B By and draw a circle ofthat radius about O2, 55. Label the two intersections of the circle and extended fine By B, Ay and Ap. 6, Measure the length of the coupler (link 3) as 4,2, or A, i. From the graphical solution, £3 045mm 7. Measure the length ofthe erank (link 2) as 0,4, or OA. From the graphical solution, £2:= 226.274mm 8, Measure the length of the ground link (link 1) as 0,0,. From the graphical solution, £ = 1069.217mm Ff 1045 000 4 a =| = a0.000 1060217 20.000 L. 1085 000 bh psz-|DESIGN OF MACHINERY SOLUTION MANUAL 3-20-2 9.
