A novel plastic injection mold design for a product with a deep arc-hole based on the kinematic analysis is proposed. To move the wide angle arc-core, a hybrid mechanism combining a slider-crank and a swing cam is designed. The force transmission coefficient of the slider-crank and the pressure angle of the swing cam are used to evaluate the dimensions of the mechanism. The motion of the designed mechanism was confirmed by using a prototype made with a 3D printer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
