  • In this episode of Dirty Elbows Garage I'm breaking down the process of designing your own 4 bar mechanism. 4 bar mechanisms are used in hoods, trunks, doors, suspension, industrial equipment and more!

    This video is amazing! I have always wondered how people design different hinges for cabinets and stuff. Now I can create my own for a 3D-printing project I am working on!
    Thanks a lot! 👍

    What?! I’ve always been curious about the complexities of engineering similar mechanisms... I had no idea it could be this simple. Very succinct explanation and example. This video coupled with the 3D printer I got for Christmas, whew, I’ve got some stuff to make! Thanks!

      What is lacking with Mechanical Engineers today, is the knowledge of how to design mechanisms correctly. Did know that there's a mathematical formula that can be used for all mechanism designs? It's called Gruebler's Count. I found a way to make it practical for all 3D mechanisms. Here's the link if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/KFB8gMjxDPk/w-d-xo.html

    Very nice video. You can also do a simpler approach: make a circle using the 3-point circle method through all three points A. Do the same with points B. The center of the circles is the chassis pivot.

    Thanks for the video. It helped me tremendously. I just wanted to add my alternative to your method. Instead of drawing lines between the points, then bisecting them with perpendicular lines, you can just draw at 3-point circle using A1, A2, A3 as the points. The center of the circle is the exact same place your intersecting lines meet. Do the same for the B points and bam, done.

    Elegant! I wish I had thought of this. I feel dumb, but armed with this nalej, I can pretend to be smart XD

    • @allyourcode
      @allyourcode 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I figured out another solution. If your CAD software has 3 point arc or circle tool (I'm not familiar with Solid Works), you can find the location of each joint in bar 1 by drawing an arc (or circle) containing A1, A2, and A3 (and B1, B2, and B3). Perpendicular bisectors is probably what that tool uses "under the hood" to find the center of the circle. One nice thing about this method is that it does not clutter up your sketch as much (2 arcs instead of 6 lines). Another advantage is that it is self-explanatory why it works: bars 2 and 4 trace out the two guide arcs. Now, I can feel smart XD

    • @DirtyElbowsGarage
      @DirtyElbowsGarage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! As far as your hinge setup goes, the pulling actuator should work as long as the force and travel needs are met and the actuator doesn't run into anything. Also, you could look into a pushing setup if you move pivot joints outside of the pit sides (if I'm picturing it right).

    Hi, Super cool :-)
    A question, - could you show a mechanisme in ex. solid works, just simple "strokes" - of an object "A" traveling in a straight vertical line movement (more or less ) -> that "translates" into a movemte of object "B" in a horisontal straight line movemnet, in the ratio app. 4:1 or 5:1? - Ex. object "A" vertical movement = 4 or 5 inches - results in object "B" moving 1 inch. ? :-)
    The challenge is - it all, do have to happen in a vertical retungular container mesuring 5.2 x 1.2 inches... so theres little fee space at the ends...
    Kind regards

      I would have to research it more, but I believe that there are techniques that you can use four positions with. However it takes a step away from graphical development towards analytical development.
