【 摘 要 】

The paper proposes a modified kinematics for the crank-slider mechanism of a nails machine. The variable rotational motion of the driven gear allows to slow down the velocity of the slider in the head forming phase and increases the period for the forming forces to be applied, improving the quality of the final product. The noncircular gears are designed based on a hybrid function for the gear transmission ratio whose parameters enable multiple variations of the noncircular driven gears and crack-slider mechanism kinematics, respectively. The AutoCAD graphical and programming facilities are used (i) to analyse and optimize the slider-crank mechanism output functions, in correlation with the predefined noncircular gears transmission ratio, (ii) to generate the noncircular centrodes using the kinematics hypothesis, (iii) to generate the variable geometry of the gear teeth profiles, based on the rolling method, and (iv) to produce the gears solid virtual models. The study highlights the benefits/limits that the noncircular gears transmission ratio defining hybrid functions have on both crank-slider mechanism kinematics and gears geometry.
