Switching Lever Length · 模型 276941
Original project made with Autodesk Inventor 2014 as a Dynamic Simulation. The animation and renderings were made by using the Inventor Studio module. Besides the gravity force, the action is due to a imposed rotation of the cam (240 deg/s = 6 rot/min). As you can see in the Video, a mechanism with cam and levers produces a vertical movement of the follower due to the sloping of the horizontal lever. The action starts with the alignment of all mobile parts due to the gravitation force: the roller take contact with the cam, the two segments of the horizontal lever are aligned when the spur of the short segment takes contact with the lower side of the long segment, and the protrusion of the L arm sustaining the golden ball take also contact with the upper face of the follower's cylindrical guide. After two complete rotations, the cam stops and allows the adjustment of the L arm through a certain rotation of the screw. The cam resumes its rotation and the action changes. The horizontal lever starts the same sloping movement as before but the short segment of it is stopped by the L arm and the result is the shortening of the lever. The longer segment of lever gains a greater slope angle so the follower's stroke is also greater, making the opposite L arm to move also longer. The evident effect is the unexpected movement of the golden ball. The main movements are presented as graphs in the „Output Grapher.jpg” picture. Colors make associations. If you use Inventor, you have to download all the files in a single directory, then open the .iam file with Inventor 2014, 2015..., enter Environments/Dynamic Simulation and click on Play button. Instead of 5000 images you can apply 1000 images if you don't want to wait for the simulation. I choose a large number of images to have a greater resolution of the living clip. Enjoy!
