Abstract

The design and actual implementation of the four-bar parallel link was studied in the paper. The parallel four-section link is widely used as a basic kinematic mechanism for transmitting the rotation of one axis to the rotational motion of the other axis. However, the parallel 4 link has a problem that phase reversal occurs at the turning point during the movement. In order to prevent the link reversal, it is known that a double parallelogram-type link is formed by attaching an additional phase reversal suppression link with an offset. However, as a result of the actual fabrication experiment, the movement is not smooth at the transition point. In order to solve this problem, in this study, a link for smooth movement is added in addition to a link that provides an offset to prevent phase reversal, so that the phase reversal does not occur at a specific point when the driven shaft rotates along the drive shaft. The test result confirms the validity of our suggestion.

본 연구에서는 4절 평행 링크의 설계와 실제 구현에 대한 것으로 평행 4절 링크는 한축의 회전을 다른 축의 회전 운동으로 전달하기 위한 기본적인 기구학적 메카니즘으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 그런데 평행 4절 링크는 운동 도중에 전환점에서 위상 역전이 발생하는 문제가 발생하여 실제 구현에서는 이를 고려하여 설계하여야 한다. 링크 역전을 방지하기 위해서는 추가적인 위상 역전 억제용 링크를 옵셋을 두어 붙이는 2중 평행 사변형 형태의 링크를 제작하면 되는 것으로 일부 알려져 있으나 실제 제작하여 실험한 결과 전환점에서 운동이 부드럽지 않은 현상이 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 위상 역전 방지를 위한 옵셋을 주는 링크외에 보조적으로 평활한 운동을 위한 링크를 추가시켜 피동축이 구동축을 따라 회전할 때에 특정지점에서 위상 역전이 발생하지 않고 평활한 운동을 수행하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
