Gate location design in injection molding of an automobile junction box with integral hinges

Polymers such as polypropylene or polyethylene offer a unique feature of producing an integral or living hinge for automobiles, which can flex over a million times without causing a failure. However, due to increased fluidity resistance at hinges during molding, several defects such as short shot or premature failure can occur with the improper selection of gate locations. In this paper, a design guideline was induced by investigating resin flow patterns depending on several gate positions obtained by numerical analyses of a simple strip with a hinge. The analyses of the simple strip part showed that the resin at the hinge did not flow until the other side of the strip was filled. Once the resin at the hinge did not flow for a long time enough to be solidified, defects such as short shots or hesitation marks formed. For a practical application of the design guideline determined, four gate systems for an automobile junction box were designed. It was found that the properly determined gate location leads to better resin flow and shorter hesitation time. Finally, injection molding tryouts using a mold that was designed by one of the proposed gate systems were conducted. The experiments showed that hinges without defects could be produced by using the designed gate location to assure the induced design guideline to be reasonable.

为了高效地利用风能和雨能，设计了通过压电传感器组件a将风或雨的能量转换为电能的装置。该装置可为负载和蓄电池供电，它的分辨力高，即使是弱风和小雨产生的微压也能进行电能转换。当压电晶体板d或e受压时，小齿轮顺时针或逆时针旋转；当压电晶体b或c受压时，液压缸伸长或收缩。在液压缸和小齿轮的作用下，压电晶体板a所在平面的法线自动调整到正好与风和雨的方向一致，从而增大了电能转化率。     

A new thermomechanical model of cutting applied to turning operations. Part II. Parametric study

In Part I of this work, Molinari and Moufki [Int. J. Mach. Tools Manufact., this issue], an analytical model of three-dimensional cutting is developed for turning processes. To analyse the influences of cutting edge geometry on the chip formation process, global effects such as the chip flow direction and the cutting forces, and local effects such as the temperature distribution and the surface contact at the rake face have been investigated. In order to accede to local parameters, the engaged part in cutting of the rounded nose is decomposed into a set of cutting edge elements. Thus each elementary chip, produced by a straight cutting edge element, is obtained from an oblique cutting process defined by the corresponding undeformed chip section and the local cutting angles. The present approach takes into account the fact that for each cutting edge element the local chip flow is imposed by the global chip movement. The material characteristics such as strain rate sensitivity, strain hardening and thermal softening, the thermomechanical coupling and the inertia effects are considered in the modelling. A detailed parametric study is provided in this paper in order to analyse the effects of cutting speed, depth of cut, feed, nose radius and cutting angles on cutting forces, global chip flow direction and temperature distribution at the rake face. The influence of friction at the tool–chip interface is also discussed.

Gaze direction based vehicle teleoperation method with omnidirectional image stabilization and automatic body rotation control

In robot teleoperation, a robot works as a physical agent at a remote site for a robot operator. There are mainly two tasks in robot teleoperation using camera images: environment recognition using visual information and robot control according to the recognition. In this paper, we propose a gaze direction based vehicle teleoperation method with an omnidirectional image stabilization and an automatic body rotation control. In the proposed method, we manage above two tasks in the same manner that are usually treated separately. This method is an intuitive vehicle teleoperation method where an operator do not need to have concern about vehicle body orientations and can absorb differences of vehicle driving mechanisms. That is, this method frees an operator from being bothered from controlling a vehicle and the operator can concentrate on where he/she intends to go. This method mainly consists of two technologies: an omnidirectional image stabilization technology and automatic body rotation control. The conducted experiments show effectiveness of the proposed method.
