Quick return mechanism--- a wheel is driven by a slider

Hi!

 

In my previous topic

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/return-mechanism-how-to-make-a-slider-move/m-p/1003716... 

we discussed a quick return mechanism where the slider was moved by the wheel's rotation.

In my next project  the task is the opposite.

 

I need a wheel to be driven by a slider.

 

I have tried to use the above mentioned  mechanism,

 

this is what I get

https://autode.sk/3ptGMDp 

 

Could someone give me a clue?

Thank you!

The assembly is attached.

Forget about it. It will never drive continuously.

What should I change so it could work the right way?

I believe that the solution exists,

I am not the only one who needs this mechanism.

 

Thanks

 Are you saying that this is a unique design that has never been done before but the solution will benefit many people?

What is the closest resemblance that you have been able to find?

 I am saying that this mechanism is not unique.

When I say "people need" I mean that lots of people needed and used this mechanism,

so I am not a pioneer.

 

and of course I hope the the solution will benefit other people 

 

Sorry for my English,))
What do you mean by saying "What is the closest resemblance that you have been able to find?"

 

My question is what should be changed in my previous mechanism, so it will work the way I need now

 

Thanks!

Do you want the Cogwheel to rotate a full 360° DRIVEN by the motion of the slider?

I can't envisage how this would work. The slider needs to change from pulling the pin in the wheel down to pushing the wheel up. I can't see how you would get more that 1/2 a revolution.

Yes, I want it rotate full 360 degrees

My logic says that  when the slider is driven by the cogwheel it rotates 360 degrees,
so, when  the cogwheel is driven by the slider it should also rotates 360 degrees.

Is it wrong?

It is going to need a helper force - a spring or something that I haven't thought of yet.

Do you want to limit the direction to either CW or CCW?

I prefer  an option to have a choice.

So a lever to flip the spring force.

Not sure when I would be able to get around to trying a solution.

One thing for sure, with my "solution" (if I find one) you will need an understanding of Dynamic Simulation.

Best start working your way through these...

This mechanism is a part of my big project.

 

I have made tons of animations of small parts of the device and this is  one of the last pieces of my lego.

I have been doing this in animation studio.

 

Is it possible to implement your solution (if you find one) in animation studio?

I have never heard of animation studio.

Do you mean that you are doing animations in Environments >Inventor Studio?

 

If so, then yes.  In Environments >Dynamic Simulation you click Publish to Studio.

Is there way to incorporate and attach the mechanism from dynamic simulation  into existing device in Inventor Studio?

This mechanism is 5%  of the device

Maybe.

But I’m going to suggest that you Attach your assembly here to avoid waiting time.
