碩士 === 中原大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 96 === Due to the rapid development of economy and technology in the recent years, various industries compete day by day intensely. Moreover, the life cycle of 3C electronic products is gradually getting shorter and shorter. Based on the consideration of product design period and the transformation with consumers, the pattern of product design also transform from manufacturing for manufacturing to design for manufacturing. However, the influence in modeling, mechanism, mold and molding design is closely connected. If we are able to considerate the issues of mold design and considerate in the initial mechanism design period, then the time for developing products can be shorten efficiently. It becomes a trend that enterprise knows how to complete a task of high quality design and promote in the fastest and best way in the shortest time. With the development of computer graphic technology, many business companies have used Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to precede the development and design of product modeling. In addition, with the help of ever-expanding internet technology, enterprises has been using the network cross platform to manage, monitor, combine and integrate resources efficiently. Therefore, it can upgrade the competitive ability of enterprise to develop a dedicated system that combines CAD and integrates the designing processes according to the knowledge and experiences of business. This approach will help enterprises train talented person, develop products at better speed, spreads experience of design, and decrease the cost of development to reach the highest quality of standard design. This study uses the two popular software in business, Pro/E and UG, to aim at the fast and systematic mechanism-design of cell phone. We have also integrated the collaboration environment of internet technology and the re-development tools of CAD to construct a navigating mold-design system. The system provides opportunities for designers who come from different environment to be able to proceed their works at the same manner. Furthermore, this research allows access for designers to related knowledge and experience which can provide standard reference material. Through the design structure of top-down design, mechanism design system is able to use the framework of conceptual part to examine the exterior, size, position, and the co-ordination between parts during the first stage of designing. By navigating system, designers proceed the designing procedures to guide the progress of development, and moreover, to lead in the general concept of co partnership designing, and speed up the development of products. In addition, mechanism databases are established, and through the design of parameter, designers can proceed with the development of designing by using commonly used mechanical feature. In conclusion, two cell phones are taken as an example. Comparing the help of designers using Mechanism Design Navigating System with which doesn’t, using Mechanical Design Navigating System can reduce more than thirty percent of time. Moreover, when designers come across difficulties in process, the knowledge-based system can appropriately give suggestions, greatly reducing the chances of errors and mistakes and also speeding up the time.
