Design Ideas

After entering the mechanical design industry, you need to determine the design ideas of integrated projects within a certain period of time. This helps you stay on top of the entire project to view your design products. Totally consider the smooth implementation of the entire project and have a better level of design. Here are some design points:

1. Clarify the project function and overall function parameters. This is something that must be known.

2. Know the form of transmission method (power transmission, pneumatic transmission and hydraulic transmission), which compare the advantages and disadvantages of transmission in order to apply it in the appropriate application scenario. Comparing the reasonable transmission method and the transmission route, the transmission process is from the original motivation to the executing agency.

3. Push the original motivational power through executive agency requirements and the known transmission process (knowing the effectiveness of various transmission pathways). The power should be reserved, then the transmission ratio is reasonably allocated, and the final output should be calculated first. That’s the premise.

4. To determine the parameters of each foreign purchase through performing calculations, choose the manufacturer for parameters and price comparison, and finally determine the reasonable configuration of foreign purchase parts and shape size.

5. Consider the layout of each component through the size of outsourced parts and the structure of the whole machine, and fully consider the installation, maintenance requirements and special requirements of each component.

6. Preliminary calculation of the strength of the main structure, choose a reasonable section size.

7. Detailed design of mechanism for mechanical equipment.

Throughout the design process, it is also necessary to master the following skills and certain design principles.

Skills learning

Learning skills can improve the speed of this mechanical design process and save the transfer time of the whole project. These are also issues that need to be paid attention to in design.

1. Learn to check the manual and information. Many designers around you don’t like to check the manual, or you don’t know what can be checked. If you have time to look at the manual directory, you know what you need to ask, you can find it in the manual. After all, many seniors’ experience is textbook.

2. Try to understand the brand of commonly used outsourcing parts, which help you choose the right supplier, as much as possible to understand the types of foreign purchases and standard parts, deepen the principles and application scenarios, expand your knowledge noodles The best solution in mechanical design process.

3. Master standard diagramming skills, make sure the diagram is beautiful and the marking is reasonable. Drawing is a language communicated in the project.

4. Master a variety of scientific calculation methods and formulas, and generally have confidence in the product transfer route of the product.

5. Understand the performance (mechanical and processing) and selection principles of commonly used materials.

6. Learn to learn from the structure and design ideas of existing products and learn to take fewer detours in the design process.

7. You don’t have to be limited to structural design. Get to understand all the knowledge required by the implementation process of the entire project.

8. Joint force analysis must know the methods and formulas, and the equipment you designed to be designed must be available.

9. Certain data conceived must be known in the heart.

10. Make sure you have a sense of cost.

11. The introduction of related materials and solutions to enable others to understand.

12. Regarding computer learning form to make calculation forms to save time.

Design principles

In the mechanical design process, certain principles must be considered.

1. Check your own calculations and drawing. First of all, you have no problem looking at your own eyes and inspection.

2. Being a structural design should consider the most economical solution, and the cost should be controlled first at the design stage.

3. Pay attention to the design of the device. The internal banks so called look at the lens, and the layman seems alive. The equipment is often seen by the layman.

4. The design should be based on the basis, or theoretical calculation, or analogy determination. In another point of view, it also shows that you haven’t thought about the depth of this project.

5. By moving the brain, mechanical design requires strong logical thinking, the brain does not rotate and thinking will stop.

6. Pay attention to learning basic knowledge. After a few years, I don’t know if the equations, welded symbols, theoretical correct size, thick teeth, thin teeth, 8.8 levels, variable gear positions, yield strength, strength , stiffness, anti-balance section coefficient, displacement, flow rate, quality adjustment processing, etc. Common sense, these people are everywhere, and it will be repaid that it will be repaid sooner or later without accumulation.

7. Other Internet Design Principles. Verifying the learning of the data will be very useful.

Fewer detours

In the design years, in addition to learning, think about things consciously and eliminate some thought ideas.

1. Don’t always talk about the future of mechanical design. Exit, because your accumulation of knowledge has not reached this point. If you have a level, you must explain that your unit has a problem.

2. It is necessary to know that the knowledge system of mechanical design is huge, and it takes more time to learn.

3. Don’t pay too much attention to practice. Mechanical design does not have the theory that the theory is not good.

4. To cultivate your management talents consciously, you have the technical level and you may not be able to lead the team.

5. Talk about the problem of less software, which is not called design, two-dimensional and three-dimensional learning is similar learning. Pay attention to two-dimensional bases, don’t be obsessed with excessive three-dimensional excess, one day you will find a messy two-dimensional base.

6. If you don’t start with mechanical design, the reason is that there is too much knowledge that you lack, and you will be consciously supplemented according to the system ideas.

7. Yet do the mechanical design, you have to pay back sooner or later.

8. If you feel that you really have no interest or understanding, you can choose to leave this line.

9. You have to learn to do it yourself.

Ultimately, mechanical design requires a lonely heart. To do the design or other things, please recognize what you need.

This finishing option with the shortest turnaround time. Parts have visible tool marks and potentially sharp edges and burrs, which can be removed upon request.
Sand blasting uses pressurized sand or other media to clean and texture the surface, creating a uniform, matte finish.
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatmen
A brushed finish creates a unidirectional satin texture, reducing the visibility of marks and scratches on the surface.
Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear properties, while allowing for color dyeing, ideal for aluminum parts.
Black oxide is a conversion coating that is used on steels to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
Electroplating bonds a thin metal layer onto parts, improving wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface conductivity.
