The Principle Of Block-based Design In The Structure Of Product Modeling

"The modular design" was formally put forward in1850s.The modular design is suitablefor product structure design as the characteristic of the short production cycle, the economicprice, free assembly and disassembly structure. Be relative to the traditional design, the modulardesign is a kind of innovation. The idea of modular design has been widely accepted, especiallywidely used in machine tools, machinery and equipment design. Meanwhile, the modular designalso is widely used in household appliances, computers and other fields.In the product design, first of all we should focus on the reliability and stability of theproduct function and structure, and also pay attention to the shape of the products. The shape ofthe product is with structural changes; we will design products as modular form, break thetraditional structure design and give the modular structure design principle. First of all, weshould get the structure parts standardization and generalization to reach part exchange and unitwhole interchange, then it will realizes the concept of multiple functions with one machine.Structure is a kind of technology, but also art. Product designer should pay attention to therelationship of the structure and modeling in the design process, and complete the final productdesign. Structure is the important factor of product modeling and it is a kind of support intechnically; because of the closely relation with modeling, it becomes an indispensable part ofthe product form. In the design process, modeling and structure should be organically combinedtogether, and structure design using the modular, the modeling should also change; the modelingis unified between the each exchange unit and mechanical equipment. The structure is base ofmodeling design, and we should take it into the modeling beauty. The relationship of structureand modeling is also the relationship of strength and beautyAs the principle of Block-based design, the thesis studies structure design of the cartonclapboard automatic inserting machine. According to the function of inserting machine, wedisengage the mechanical structure, and adding to the modular design principle in theframework design; we should design the inserting machine feeding bin and a inserting bin as thewhole disassembly of the unit components, and the components can be individually assembled;according to user needs, the unit components of inserting bin could be exchanged into otherunits to achieve other functions. This design is convenient to install, repair and transportation.The overall design attached to the structure in a straight line style design, and the overall shape is on the basis of repair, commissioning and observation, etc; the body of machine use sheetmetal enclosure forming.
