This tutorial will direct you through creating a simple hinge You will make two sides of the hinge and a hinge pin and finally you will assemble the hinge You will use a number
of Pro/D drawing tools including lines, circles, arcs and others You will also utilize features such as extrude, extrude profile and insert holes It will be necessary to construct lines and constrain them to accurate dimensions as well as delete line
segments and use construction lines In order to successfully execute this tutorial, you should already have some experience and skill using basic Pro/D design construction techniques for creating a solid
Left Hinge Section Follow the directions in order:
1 Open Pro/D and create a new design file Edit the browser and change the initial sketch to Hinge Profile Press Shift +W to see the workplane in orthographic Your screen should look like figure 1

4 Use the circle tool to place a 0.438” diameter circle on the drawing field Using the same center, place a 0.246” diameter circle in the drawing field You should have two concentric circles such as shown in figure 4
Figure 4 Concentric Circles
5 In the following steps you will construct temporary lines in order to locate the starting point for a rectangle that will be part of the profile Remember to press the shift key while dragging a line to constrain it to horizontal or vertical placement
6 Start at the axis center and draw a line (#1) downward beyond the intersection of the inner circle From this intersection, draw a line to the left (#2) beyond an intersection with the outer circle Select each line and make it a construction line Use the delete line segment tool to remove the over run so that your image looks like figure 5

Figure 5 Temporary construction for start of rectangle
7 Using the Line tool, create a 1.583” line from the left end of the last construction line (outer circle) to the left Create a 0.089” line vertical from the end of the last line Lastly, draw a line from the end of the last line to the right past an intersection with the inner circle of the barrel such as shown in figure 6
Figure 6 Dimensions for the profile rectangle
8 Zoom in on the intersection of the rectangle and circles Place a line, left to right across the two circles slightly above the intersection By drawing left to right you will see the angle in the running distance box Place the line when you read 7 degrees and the line overlaps both circle edges The excess will be deleted Figure 7 shows this detail

14 The resulting extruded profile should now look like figure 13 Use the mouse wheel
to rotate it and view it from various angles Your color may be different since Pro/D assigns colors on a random basis
Figure 13 Completed Extrusion of the Left Section of the Hinge rotated for this view
15 We will now need to remove material from this extrusion in order to create the
“fingers” of the hinge, in this case two fingers First you will need to create a new sketch
14 The face will turn red Right click to see the drop down menu and select New Sketch The New Sketch window will open Edit the boxes to name the sketch Fingers and create in a new workplane named Fingers as shown in figure 14 Press OK to create the new sketch

19 Zoom in on the upper left part of the “barrel” Draw a line from the right edge of the barrel a distance of 0.063” to the right Make this a construction line This should look like figure 16 You will need to constrain and edit this dimension for accuracy
Figure 16 First line of profile for creating a finger
20 Starting at the right end of this line, construct a rectangle such as shown in figure
17 Use the dimensions (0.55” wide x 0.575” high) The rectangle must cover the barrel geometry since it will be used to remove material from the barrel The
rectangle should fill with color since it is now a closed loop or profile
Figure 17 Rectangular Profile that will be used to remove material
Trang 11© Harry Hawkins 2005 Page 11
21 Zoom in on the middle of the barrel but keep the recently drawn rectangle in view Construct a line from the lower right corner of the rectangle downward a distance of 0.810” Make this line into a construction line since it will not be used as part of the profile but only to get the starting point of the middle opening Figure 18 shows what this should look like
Figure 18 Construction line to the start of the next rectangle profile
22 Starting at the lower end of this line, construct another rectangle (0.55” x 0.725”) Note this is a different height size than the other rectangles It should look like figure 19 when completed
Figure 19 Rectangle dimensions for middle finger cut-out
Trang 12© Harry Hawkins 2005 Page 12
23 In a similar fashion, draw a line from the lower right corner of the just-completed rectangle a distance of 0.810” in a downward direction Make it a construction line From the lower end of this line, construct the last finger rectangle (0.55” x 0.575”) profile as shown in figure 20
Figure 20 Last finger removal profile
24 Use the mouse wheel and drag to show the profile in 3D It should look like figure
21 The dimensions and construction lines have been removed for clarity Notice that you have three profiles located in the center plane of the barrel When you Project this profile, you will need to do it above and below the workplane or
symmetric to the workplane
Figure 21 Profiles ready to be projected

to execute

26 The profile will remove material from the 3D object and the result will be as shown in figure 23 Notice the lines and colored boxes These boxes can be used as handles
to alter various dimensions Since we do not want to alter any dimensions, simply click on an empty place on the field and they will disappear

create a circle of 0.2” diameter (this is a temporary circle that will be replaced with a given hole size later) This should look like figure 26 Be sure to make the lines you used to place the circle into construction lines or delete them after the circle is drawn
Figure 26 Locating the first screw hole
30 Using the line tool, construct a line from the center (use the center point marker) of the right vertical side to the left a distance of 0.346” and place a 0.2” diameter circle at the end of this line Figure 27 shows how this should look If the first circle
is selected, placing the second will be at the same diameter if you hold down the shift key when you place it
Figure 27 Placement of middle screw hole

36 The next step will be in creating the Hinge Pin This is a relatively simple
construction using Revolve Profile and will provide you with an interesting
procedure
37 Create a new design and rename initial to Pin Profile Click the Display Ortho Workplane icon to start the drawing Figure 33 shows what your screen should look like

39 Create a Profile such as shown in figure 35 This can be done using the line tool or
a combination of rectangles and the arc tool This profile will be revolved around
an axis which is the center line of the construction Details around the head of the pin are shown in figure 36 Refer to figure 34 for accurate input values The
shoulder lines (a triangle is located in each) may need to be fixed in order to pull the arc for the dome Do this by selecting the Constraints drop down menu then select Toggle Fixed or CTRL-F when the line is selected This will fix the line so it won’t move when you complete the arc on the dome of the head Note the construction

41 For the revolve function to work correctly, you must have a profile on one sketch and an axis on another sketch The profile already completed is on the base
sketch
42 Select and highlight the word Pin Profile in the browser This will produce an
orthographic view of the plane – essentially a green rectangle Select the plane and its edge will turn red Right Click and select New Sketch Figure 38 shows the sketch creation box Edit the name to Axis and be sure the Add to workplane (base) is checked Click OK to create the new sketch

be the Axis line Figure 39 shows what this should look like It is the red line

The Revolve Profile window will open Edit the window according to figure 40 You should see a visual of the revolution If not, click the Axis selection button and highlight Lines: Now pick the Axis line in the profile The profile will present a
simulated view of the revolution as you see in figure 40 Once you have the
simulated view, click OK to execute the revolution
