Final Project phase 02

state: week02

This week we start to use 3D modeling and CAD in order to model our final project. since I know the tools before this week for me was to try new tools and see the potential of other available choices. During this experiment I start to think about the mechanism that I need to implement for my final project. The level of understanding that I got through this study pushed my project further. Below I shared some reference and my interpretation for my project.


reference

-Automatic-parking

-Bevel gear


prototype model

For my first prototype I have planed to build the bottom part of the vending machine which is the mechanism of giving and receiving the products. It will have a button interaction and a display to show the chosen products.


here is the small animation of the structure

The mechanism that I want to use will be a replication of Automatic parking that is referenced above. This system consist of 3 axes movement. Two of them are liner and the other is rotation in a axe. Since each movement allonge axes happening individually, I hoped to use Bevel gear with the clutch to handle the actuation.

schedule

First part for fabrication will the shelves and foundation for motors and related equipment. The next step is assembling the structure. After that a code should be developed to relate the user input to a g-code for machine to go to an specific shelf.
