Abstract

This article presents the mechanism combination's modes, fundamentals, reasoning rules, and realization methods in the automated conceptual design of mechanism systems. According to the combination form between two function units, with the aid of morphology matrix, applying a recursive mode of mechanism combination and the reasoning system based on set theory, the function units' solutions in the form of combination mechanisms can conveniently be generated. The theory and method presented in this article can simplify the process of mechanism combination and the reasoning rules and are suitable for the combination between not only single-degree-of-freedom mechanisms, but also many-degree-of-freedom mechanisms. They have successfully been applied to the software development of automated conceptual design of mechanism systems.
