Valve Cam Mechanism 1 ME-430 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN Valve Cam Mechanism Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 Dr. Herli Surjanhata There are 6 parts that will be used in this mechanism analysis: • shaft_mount.prt — the ground body. • camshaft.prt (rotating body) • rocker.prt (oscillating body) 2 • valve_guide.prt (ground body) • valve.prt (sliding body) • rocker_shaft.prt (rotating body) PART: SHAFT_MOUNT.PRT 3 PART: CAMSHAFT.PRT 4 PART: ROCKER.PRT PART: ROCKER_SHAFT.PRT 5 PART: VALVE.PRT 6 PART: VALVE_GUIDE.PRT 7 CREATE AN ASSEMBLY – rocker_arm.asm Create a new assembly called rocker_arm. Uncheck Use default template. The New File Options dialog box appears. 8 Select System of Units of mmns_asm_design. Under Parameters, fill DESCRIPTION and MODEL BY with Rocker Arm Assembly and your name. OK. The assembly should have default datum planes – ASM_FRONT, ASM_RIGHT, and ASM_TOP. 9 Click to open rocker_shaft.prt Select to assemble the rocker_shaft.prt at default location. Click to finish the assembly operation. Click and open rocker.prt, Keep default setup for assembly. Apply the following constraints between rocker_shaft and rocker – see below. • Align the axis of the rocker.prt with the axis of the of rocker_shaft.prt Align constraint. • Align OFFSET the FRONT datum plane of the rocker.prt with the ASM_FRONT datum plane of the rocker_arm.asm assembly Align constraint. The offset distance is 25 mm. [...]...
