Project. Designing a belt drive system for a solar powered wheelchair.
problem statement:
Design a belt drive system for a solar powered wheelchair that will efficiently transfer power from the electric motor to the wheels. The system must be reliable, durable, and capable of handling various terrains and load conditions.
Design constraints:
power output of the motor. Specify the motor's power rating
wheel diameter. Specify the diameter of the wheels.
desired top speed. Specify the desired top speed of the wheelchair
terrain. Specify the types of terrain the wheelchair will encounter, for example, flat surfaces, inclines, grass.
Design requirements:
1.belt selection
- choose a suitable belt material based on the power requirements and environmental conditions
- calculate the required belt length
2. pulley design
- determine the optimal pulley diameters to achieve the desired gear ratio
- select appropriate materials, For example, aluminum, steel, for the pulleys
3. bearing selection.
- choose suitable bearings. For example, ball bearings. Roller bearings, to minimize friction and ensure smooth operation
- consider the bearing load capacity and operating speed.
4. Belt tensioning mechanism
-design a mechanism to maintain proper belt tension, preventing slippage and excessive wear
5. Belt Alignment.
- Develop a method to ensure accurate belt alignment to optimize power transmission and reduce wear.
Design Considerations:
1.Gear Ratio. Calculate the required gear ratio to achieve the desired speed and torque.
2. Belt Tension. Ensure proper belt tension to prevent slippage and excessive wear.
3. belt alignment. Maintain accurate belt alignment to minimize friction and power loss.
4. environmental factors. Consider the effects of environmental factors. For example, temperature, humidity, on the belt drive system.
Deliverables:
1.detailed design calculations and diagrams
2. 3D model of the belt drive system
3. a written report explaining the design choices and analysis
4. a presentation summarizing the design and its performance predictions
