尚辅网 / 机电技术专业英语 Lesson Eight Text Mechanism Systems While some simple machines consist of only one kind of such mechanisms, in most cases, using only one simple mechanism is not enough to perform the required mechanical actions in a machine. Take the shaping machine as an example. Two working links(or output links) are needed to shape a flat surface. They are the sliding block with the shaping tool (cutter) and the worktable holding the workpiece. Carrying the cutter, the sliding block moves back and forth to perform the cutting motion and the stroke of motion is adjustable to the size of the workpiece. The worktable moves intermittently to provide the feeding action while the sliding block moves back. The amount of feed is also adjustable. Such a working process needs several simple mechanisms working together to fulfill the whole Introduction to Design of Mechanism Systems Lesson Eight function. These mechanisms operate together in a machine and form a mechanism system. Another example of a mechanism system is the wellknown internal combustion engine which consists of a crank and slider mechanism, two cam mechanisms and a gear mechanism. The crank and slider mechanism converts the back and forth movement of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. The gear mechanism and cam mechanisms control the movements of the valves exactly and ensure the synchronized operation of the whole engine. According to system theory, a machine can be seen as a system of a mechanisms and a mechanism is a subsystem of a machine. Hence, the design of a machine is the design of a mechanism system. Lesson Eight Routine Design and Creative Design There are different levels of design. When you design a machine which uses similar models, then you can design by imitation. Take one similar machine as a model, then, by keeping the main structure unchanged but changing some of the dimensions or sizes of the machine or replacing some parts with new ones, y
