Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 電子工程系碩士班 === 106 === At present, Taiwan is in a situation of decreasing its working population and increasing production costs year by year. Various industries have begun to develop "industrial automation" in order to solve these problems. Many traditional industries place their workpiece on a table for various kinds of processing. Therefore, in this thesis, we observe and decompose various action patterns of hands, and classify several kinds of single actions and complex actions. By using 3D mechanical drawing and simulation software, we design the mechanisms that produce the same results as some actions of hands, and use software to verify the feasibility of the actions. And then the required action mechanisms are connected to each other in series to form a desktop automated mechanical equipment whose volume and weight allow for use on a table. The single actions of this desktop automated mechanical equipment are designed with simple designs of mechanism, while the more complex compound action is designed with cams and connecting rods that can stably drive the movement. We also use motors and solenoids as actuators and control the action through the microcontroller module and various sensors, allowing all the mechanisms to work together to complete a series of actions. In addition, without constraining the workpiece, we use the sensors to allow the machine to detect the geometry of the workpiece, and to retain space to handle the expansion and contraction of different materials. We also use human-machine interface module to control mechanical equipment speed, process space and other process control parameters to reduce the proportion of processing defects caused by uncertainty of geometry and material of workpiece.
