Methodology for Conceptual Design of Mechanism System

The steps of conceptual design for mechanism system are:(1) the conception of technology movement process, the main constitutes of which are the improvement based on existing examples, synthesis based on every basic motion, and analysis of personification; (2) the decomposition of technology movement process. The gained independent movements are called executive motion;(3) choosing or innovating executive mechanisms to achieve each motion; (4) introducing morphological matrix, this method can help us forming some mechanism system; (5) by synthetical evaluation, the most excellent mechanism system can be found. This function resolution method is called the method of technology movement mechanism. This method made conceptual design for machines and design for mechanism system unified. This paper illuminated its application with an example.
