Mechanical Structure Combination

Force & Mechanics

★Exhibit Content: Gear transmission, linkage mechanism, cam mechanism, etc. ★Interaction: Mechanical interaction ★Operation: 1. Turn the handwheel; 2. Watch the puppet's movements. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of multiple sets of gears, linkages, cams, and other mechanical components forming different transmission combinations, each driving cartoon puppets inside the display box to perform various interesting actions. By turning the handwheel, visitors can observe how the same power source is converted into different motion effects through different transmission methods, thereby intuitively understanding mechanical principles such as gear transmission, linkage mechanisms, and cam mechanisms. ★Scientific Principle: 1. Gear transmission: Through intermeshing gears, the rotational motion of the handwheel is transmitted to the linkage mechanism, while changing the direction and speed of motion. It is the most basic power transmission method in mechanical systems. 2. Linkage transmission: A linkage mechanism composed of connecting rods, cranks, sliders, and other components converts the rotational motion transmitted by the gears into reciprocating swing or linear motion of the puppet's limbs, achieving biomimetic actions such as kicking a ball or lifting water. It is the core structure for realizing complex motions. 3. Combined design logic: The two transmission systems use different gear ratios and linkage layouts, corresponding to different puppet actions, intuitively demonstrating the core idea of mechanical design that "structure determines function"—by adjusting the combination of components, diverse motion outputs can be achieved.
