INTRODUCTION
PROJECT TITLE : ELBOW MECHANISM
INTRODUCTION
The word ‘TRANSMISSION’ on which the project is based upon means the w
mechanism that transmits the power from the engine crankshaft to the rear
However the ‘transmission’ is also being used very commonly in the literatu
mechanism, which provides us with suitable variation of the engine torque
wheels, whenever required. This may be a
gearbox (also called manual transmission) or an automatic transmission.
FUNCTIONS OF TRANSMISSION
The main functions that are performed by the transmission are:
1)The torque or the tractive effort produced by the engine varies with speed
narrow limits. But the practical consideration for the running of automobile
conditions demands a large variation of torque available at the wheels. The
of the transmission is to provide means to vary the leverage or the torque ra
the engine and the road wheels as required.
2)The transmission also provides a neutral position so that the engine and
wheels are disconnected even with the clutch in the engaged position.
3)A mean to back the car by reversing the direction of rotation of the drive i
also provided by the transmission.
TYPES OF TRANSMISSION
The transmissions may be classified into the manual and the automatic typ
manual transmissions are conventionally called gearboxes. Their mechanic
direct drive is about 98%, whereas in reduction gears, it is slightly greater th
most of the time the driving is done in direct drive, friction losses in manual
are very small. That coupled with simplicity and lower initial cost, is the reas
still popular particularly in fuel-efficient automobiles. On the other hand the
engaging and disengaging the clutch along with changing gears while drivin
crowded highway means a lot of fatigue to the driver. Therefore, in luxury v
automatic transmissions are employed which simplify the driving operation
considerably.
NEED FOR PROJECT:
The conventional transmission system used in auto rickshaw is as shown in
The transmission train comprises of the engine as the power plant , and the
box and differential arrangement as the traction device. The power is availa

The double hooke’s joint has certain disadvantages that, it does not transmi
angular velocity, so also the efficiency of transmission is low(65%).More ov
efficiency further drops with the increase in angular velocity ie speed outpu
engine. The drive is subjected to inherent vibrations and considerable axial
forces are encountered during power transmission.
Actually the situation is simple that the power from the differential has to b
at right angles to the wheels, and even if the wheels move
over a bump on the road this right angle is not disturbed.
SOLUTION
ELBOW MECHANISM (ORBITAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.)
The orbital transmission system is an adaptation of the original mechanism
mechanism developed by LEO -NARDO-DA- VINCI. This Elbow mechanism
transmitting heavy torque at high speeds between two shafts at right angle
mechanism comprises of two shafts drilled with three holes each on the sa
diameter on each shaft and a set of three bent pins that are made of steel a
exactly 900.
This mechanism is capable of transmitting high speeds (12000 rpm).
The drive is compact and can be made into hermetically sealed units filled
oil in order to increase the life of the drive. This drive has an efficiency as h
In the project we are getting the two inputs to the transmission system from
through simple gear train . gears used over here are of same diameter and
number of teeth on its periphery. One variable speed motor drives the main
through belt and pully. Pully is fitted rigidly on it. The single shaft can be dri
manually as well as using motor drive.
This transmission system is extremely compact and will improve the efficie
transmission of the vehicle and thereby the mileage of the
vehicle.

CONSTRUCTION
1. ELECTRIC MOTOR:-
Electric motor of following specifications is used Single phase Ac Mo
230 volt,0.5 AMP.
50 Hz
Power = 100 watt Speed = 0 to 6000 rpm
TEFC CONSTRUCTION
COMMUTATOR MOTOR
2. PULLEY:-
pulley is v-belt pulley of 40 degree groove angle and 6mm ‘A’ se
reduction pulley gives an speed reduction ratio of 4.68
.This reduction pulley is mounted at the bearing end of the propeller
shaft.
4. BENT PINS:-
Pins are made form high carbon steel; in three sets of 90 ,120,140 d
respectively pins are bent to the desired angle in a special fixtur
bend is not sharp but slightly filleted to avoid stress concentration.

7. PROPELLER SHAFT
Pulley is mounted on propeller shaft. Pulley is driven by motor shaft a
drives propeller shaft. Propeller shaft is also manually driven by h
which is located at other end of shaft, which is
fixed.
8. GEARS
4 Gears are used for power transmission from propeller shaft to
wheels through Input and output shaft mechanism.
9. WHEELS
The wheels are of nylon that are fitted at the output shaft ends
ELBOW MECHANISM
WORKING:
Electric motors supply power to the Propeller shafts of the orbital transmiss
means of belt and pulley arrangement. Then, drive is given to the two input
simple gear train mechanism. Gear used over here are spur type and of sam
Therefore, there will be no variation in speed of two wheels. The input sha
move the pins about the central axis, this motion causes the pins to slide to
the output shaft holes which in turn results into rotary motion of the output
Thus the rotary input from the motors is transferred to the output wheel
shafts that cause the wheels to rotate.
DISADVANTAGES :
1. Slightly high cost of manufacture.
2. Special machines like jig boring is required for manufacture
3. Conventional Transmission system needs to be modified to
the above system/.

tolerances on work are specified .The process charts are prepared and pass
manufacturing stage.
The parts to be purchased directly are selected from various catalogues an
so as to have case of procurement .
In mechanical design at the first stage selection of appropriate material for

This selection is based on standard catalogues or data books; eg:- (PSG DE

Some successful mechanical devices function smoothly however poor fly they
