The Novel Adjustable Mechanisms for Exact Multi-Path Generation

Abstract:

A design method of the novel adjustable mechanisms is presented for exact multi-path generation. A novel adjustable mechanism with minimal structure error corresponding to required exact paths and with a rotational input link and a linear input link is proposed also. The derivations of instantaneous displacement of the linear input link corresponding to angular displacement of the rotational input link are proposed as well. The required exact paths can be generated by varying the instantaneous displacement of linear input link while rotational input link rotates with a constant angular speed in a cycle. The design procedure of this proposed method is presented either. The examples are provided to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this proposed method.
