Geneva mechanism is used as a mechanism for transforming rotary motion into intermittent motion and is able to achieve a precise movement and its lock, which makes it usable in many areas, particularly in timer devices, measurement devices, feed mechanisms, positioning mechanisms, pick-up and transport machinery, textile machinery etc. The studied literature showed that, although it has long been known, this mechanism is still interesting for contemporary researchers. The present paper proposes a method of synthesis and a computer-aided kinematic and dynamic analysis for this mechanism. Based on input data, it was developed a computer program that computes the dimensions of components of Geneva mechanism and determines velocity acceleration and displacement of Geneva wheel. The dimensional calculated data were also used to obtain 3D model of the mechanism. |
