5.5 Plate Cam with Translating Flat-faced Follower This follower is used often in high-speed cam mechanisms. 5.5.1 Graphical Synthesis Similar to the roller follower, the intersection(交点) B of the centreline of the follower stem(芉) and the face of the follower is treated as the knife-edge of a virtual(虚拟) knife-edge follower which is fixed to the flat-faced follower. In this way, the motion curve of the flat-faced follower applies also to the knife-edge of the virtual(虚拟) knife-edge follower. Locus of the knife-edge of the virtual knife-edge follower relative to the cam be designed. A line is drawn at each of these points B perpendicular to the centreline of the follower to represent the position line of the flat face of the follower during inversion(反转) The cam contour may be drawn as a smooth curve tangent to the family of the position lines of the flat face. As can be seen, the cam contour is the locus of tangent point T relative to the cam. process 5.5.2 Analytical Synthesis A Cartesian co-ordinate system is fixed with the cam. Its origin(原点) is located at the centre of the camshaft and its Y axis coincides(重叠) with the centreline A0B0 of the follower when ? =0. Since the pitch curve of the plate cam is the same as that of the plate cam with translating in- line roller (or knife- edge) follower, Eq.5-12 can be used to calculate the co-ordinates of the pitch curve. XB=M*( rP +S)*sin(?) YB=( rP +S)*cos(?) ------------(5-12) The intersection D of the common normal passing through the tangent point T and the line P13P23 is the instant centre P12 of the cam 1 and the follower 2. Therefore, ?B0OB OB=rP+S. XT=OF+ET To consider all situations, XT=M*[( rP +S)*sin(?)+S *cos(?)] YT=( rP +S)*cos(?) - S *sin(?) ------(5-26) If the cam rotates counter-clockwise, M=+1; otherwise M=-1. In the sections of outer or inner dwell, LBT=LOD=S=0. In the sections of the rise and
