Motion and Fundamental Frequency Doubling Planar and Spatial Linkage Mechanisms and Applications therefore

摘要

A method for doubling an input motion of a first mechanism including: providing the first mechanism having a first link, a second link rotatably connected to the first link; a first output which undergoes a motion resulting from a motion of the first link, the first output being operatively connected to the first link through at least the second link; driving the first link from a first position to a second position, wherein a singular position of the first and second links occurs between the first and second positions; cascading the first mechanism with a second mechanism; and inputting the second mechanism with the output to double the output and quadruple the input.
