Project Presentation

In this activity I tried two software, Rhinoceros and the Inventor, the first is not suited to my project and it does not handle mechanical assemblies, it serves more to surfaces and shapes of great difficulty. The inventor manages libraries of bolts, pipes, nuts, valves, etc.., Plus, you can assemble easily.

I started my work with the construction of the bottle; so, first I generated the 2D Figure and then I used the 'revolution to generate solid' command, the process is similar for all parts or machine components.

On the solid generated I performed some more operations such as 'filleting', 'threading' and 'drain', getting the following figure.

Similarly, the other components of the machine are modeled easily.

Then we proceed to the assembly with all the components created. In this step, restrictions for mounting between parts must be taken into account, these restrictions may be the faces, edges, vertices, etc.

Here, the final assembly of the bottles machine is shown , it should be noticed that I have not found the valves, sensors and servo, I am looking for them.

Below is a sample mounting animation:
