| description | The paper presents the type and dimensional synthesis of intermittent mechanisms for use in a thermoforming machine high-capacity stacking apparatus. The aim of this paper is to realize the intermittent motion of the working part of the stacker – conveyor, with a completely mechanical system that should enable the adjustment of the operating parameters of the stacker at a constant motor speed. Mechanical control ensures high positioning accuracy of the product ejection panel, as well as high repeatability of the motion cycle of the conveyor, which is key. Based on the set requirements, the concept of a planar mechanism of simple structure was chosen, which enables oscillatory movement of the output link for continuous motion of the input link, in combination with a one-way clutch (OWC). Four types of intermittent mechanisms have been proposed. However, multiple configurations of the same mechanism type can achieve the same output link motion interval, which is why 3 configurations for each mechanism type are considered, with a total of 4 output link motion intervals, which is 12 potential solutions for only one mechanism type. Afterwards, dimensional synthesis was performed for each type of mechanism by using the optimization method. Based on the analysis of the results, all of the mechanism types are potentially usable. After additional analyses, the optimal solution was chosen. |
