ABSTRACT
The aim of the project is to design and fabrication of the automatic quick
return mechanism .It is a modified form of conventional quick return
mechanism that helps to lift the load using quick return mechanism
frame. Quick return mechanism is a mechanical device used to raise or
otherwise exert a force on an object too heavy to deal with by hand. A
common example is the automobile quick return mechanism, which is
used to elevate the end of a car by a system of ratchets, gears, and screws.
At the point when the gear nears a full revolution, the arm achieves its
farthest position and comes back to its initial position at a faster rate, thus
its name. It has many applications such as Shaper, Power driven saw,
mechanical actuator and many more.

Whitworth Quick Return Mechanism:
The sliding block slides over the Crankpin and slides inside the slot of a
crank plate and The connecting rod connects the pin at one end and ram
at the other end.
The electric motor shaft drives the pinion and rotates the gear. Now the
bull gear is also rotating along with the crankpin and the sliding block
slides on the slot provided on the crank plate.
So this process makes the ram move up and down by the connecting rod.

Crank and Slotted Link Mechanism:
The crank is connected with the slider and fixed link. When the cranks
start rotating the connecting rod pushes forward and backwards the ram.
The crank and slotted link mechanism are widely used in shaping
machines like slotter, shaper Machine for producing flat surfaces on the
workpiece.
The return stroke is much faster then the forward stroke in this
mechanism. Crank and Slotted Link Mechanism Diagram, Learn

Hydraulic Drive:
In the diagram, you can see there are two entries at the end of the
cylinder. And below a control valve is attached which has four passes.
Two entries from cylinder to control valve and the remaining two are
connected through a reservoir.

As you can see in the diagram there are four links and those are Slider,
Crank, Frame, and Slotted Lever. And also it is connected through pair
and those are:
There are three turning Pairs and one sliding pair. It is also known as
the Inversion of the Single slider crank chain mechanism. The connecting
rod is fixed here.
1. The slider is free and it can slide in the slotted lever and the upper
end of the slotted lever is attached to the ram of the shaper
machine through a linkage.
2. The crank and the slotted lever is fitted to frame at point A and B
respectively.
3. Through a slider, the crank and slotted lever are connected to each
other.
Now when the power is supplied, the crank starts rotating and the motion
is transmitted to the slider and it is fitted inside the slotted lever therefore
it starts oscillating.
Now ram moving forward and it makes an angle of beta which is noted
and In the return it makes an angle alpha which is also noted.
8
From the diagram you can see that the beta angle is more than the alpha.
So we can say that cutting strokes takes more time than returning strokes.

LITERATURE VIEW
Sir Joseph Whitworth is best known in connection with his development of a
rationalised system of screw threads and for the screw threads that bear his name;
British Standard Whitworth (BSW). He proposed this thread system in 1841 and the
relevant British Standard is BS 84: 1956. However, the principal contribution of this
exceptionally talented engineer was his introduction of new standards of accuracy in
manufacturing to a degree previously unknown.[6]
By 1830 a skilled mechanic could be expected to work to an accuracy of only one
sixteenth of an inch but by 1840, thanks to Joseph Whitworth, an accuracy of one ten-
thousandth of an inch was a practical proposition. Subsequently,[7]
Whitworth devised an instrument (a bench micrometer) that could measure to one
millionth of an inch. He also introduced a standard for the flatness of plane surfaces,
which was essential for fine engineering work and for the manufacture of surface
plates used for marking out purposes.[8
] Joseph Whitworth was born in Stockport, Cheshire,
[9]on the 21 December 1803 and he was the son of Charles Whitworth, a
schoolmaster (another source says that he was a Congregational minister), and Sarah.
He was christened on the 8 February 1804 at Church gate Independent on Orchard
Street, Stockport. It is possible that the maiden name of Charles Whitworth's wife was
Sarah Pullan, the couple marrying at Pateley Bridge, Yorkshire, on the 2 August
1795.[16] Joseph Whitworth married twice.
[11]His first wife was Frances Anker and they were married on the 25 February 1825
at Ilkeston, Derbyshire. His second wife, 25 years his younger, was Mary Louisa
Orrell and they were married in 1871 at Westminster, London.[17-20] Joseph
Whitworth only received an elementary education and during this period of his life he
did not distinguish himself. On leaving school he became an indentured apprentice to
an uncle who was a cotton spinner in Derbyshire. This was only a four-year
13
apprenticeship and on completion of this he worked for another four years as a
mechanic in [15]a factory in Manchester.
He then found employment working for Henry Maudsley (1771-1831), inventor of
the screwcutting lathe.[21-25] Maudsley's factory was on Westminster Bridge Road
in[13] London and here he worked alongside other men who were also destined to
become famous engineers, such as James Nasmyth (1808-1890), inventor of the
steam hammer, and Richard Roberts (1789-1864), inventor of a self-acting spinning
mule.[26]
History
The earliest evidence, anywhere in the world, for the crank combined with a
connecting rod in a machine appears in the late Roman[19] Hierapolis sawmill from
the 3rd century AD and two Roman stone sawmills at gerasa, Roman Syria, and
Ephesus,[20] Asia Minor (both 6th century AD).[27] On the pediment of the
Hierapolis mill, a waterwheel fed by a mill race is shown powering via a gear train
two frame saws which cut rectangular blocks by the way of some kind of connecting
rods and, through mechanical necessity, cranks. The accompanying inscription is in
Greek[28]. The crank and connecting rod mechanisms of the other two
archaeologically attested sawmills worked without a gear train. In ancient literature,
there is a reference to the workings of water-powered marble saws close to Trier, now
Germany, by the late 4th century poet Ausonius; about the same time, these mill
types seem also to be indicated by the[29] Christian saint Gregory of Nyssa from
Anatolia, demonstrating a diversified use of waterpower in many parts of the Roman
Empire The three finds push back the date of the invention of the crank and
connecting rod mechanism by a full millennium; for the first time, all essential
components of the much later steam engine were assembled by one technological
culture.[23]

COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION
15
spur gear
Spur gear or straight-cut gears are the simplest types of gear. They
consist of a cylinder or disk with teeth projecting radially. Although the
teeth are not straight, usually having a special shape to achieve a constant
drive ratio that is mainly involute but less often cycloidal, the edge of
each tooth is straight and parallel to the axis of rotation.
16
Spur gears are the most easily visualized common gears that transmit
motion between two parallel and coplanar and teeth that are straight and
parallel to the shafts. Spur gears are one of the most popular types of
precision cylinders.
In many variants, the gear is machined with a hub that thickens the gear
body around the bore without changing the gear surface. The central hole
can also be drilled so that the spur gear fits onto a spline or a keyed shaft.
Because of their shape, they are classified as cylindrical gears. Since the
tooth surfaces of the gears are parallel to the axes of the mounted shafts,
no thrust is generated in the axial direction.
The involute shape means that spur gears only generate radial forces and
not axial forces, but the method of tooth combing causes a high load on
the gear teeth and a high level of noise. The gear with more teeth is called
“gear” and the gear with fewer teeth is called “pinion”. For this reason,
17
spur gears are typically used for lower speed applications, although they
can be used at almost any speed.
1. External gears are gears with teeth cut outside the cylinder. Two
external gears mesh and rotate in opposite directions.
2. Internal gears are gears with teeth cut on the inside of the cylinder.
An external gear sits in the internal gear and the gears rotate in the
same direction. Because the shafts are closer together, internal gear
assemblies are more compact than external gear assemblies.
Internal gears are mainly used for planetary gears.

5. Base circle: A theoretical circle used to generate the involute curve
when creating tooth profiles.
6. Center distance: The distance between two gears, measured from
the center on the shaft of one gear to the center shaft of the mating
gear. This can be roughly determined by taking the radius of each
spur gear of the spur gears and adding them up.
7. Circular pitch: Measurement of the pitch circle arc length from one
point on a tooth to the same point on the adjacent tooth.
8. Circular thickness: The thickness of the tooth at the pitch circle.
9. Clearance: The space between one gear minor diameter and the
mating gears major diameter.
10.Dedendum: Depth of the tooth between the pitch circle and the
minor diameter. Generally greater than the addendum of the
mating gear to provide clearance.
11.Diametral pitch: Ratio of the number of teeth to the pitch diameter.
12.Fillet: The small radius that connects the tooth profile to the root
circle.
13.Module: The ratio of the reference diameter of the gear divided by
the number of teeth. The module is the metric equivalent to
diametral pitch.
14.Outside diameter: The diameter of the addendum circle of the
circle along with the outermost points of the teeth of a spur gear.
This measurement is the major diameter of the gear.
15.Pinion: The smaller-sized gear in any meshed pair.
16.Pitch circle: The circle is derived from a series of teeth and a
certain diametrical division. The circle in which tooth spacing or
20
profiles are set from which tooth proportions are created. The
speed of the gear is measured here.
17.Pitch diameter: Is the diameter of the pitch circle. The angular
speed of spur gear is measured here. This is also a critical
component in determining the center distances between mating
spur gears.
18.Pitch point: The point of tangency of the pitch circles of a pair of
mating gears.
19.Pressure angle: The angle at a division point between the pressure
line, which is the line of action, and a line perpendicular to the
centerline. And the plane is tangent to the division surface.
20.Root Diameter: The diameter at the base of the tooth space.
21.Ratio: Ratio of the numbers of teeth on mating gears.
22.Root Circle: The circle that passes through the bottom of the tooth
spaces.
23.Velocity ratio: Ratio of input gear revolutions to output gear
revolutions within a specified amount of time.
24.Whole depth: The height of the tooth from major diameter to the
minor diameter of a gear.
25.Working Depth: The depth to which a tooth extends into the space
between teeth on the mating gear.
Spur Gear Design
Since the teeth are parallel to the shaft axis, spur gears are only used
when the shafts are parallel. The profile of the gear tooth is in the form of
21
an involute curve and remains identical over the entire width of the gear.
Spur gears exert radial loads on the shafts.
The design and construction of a spur gear unit significantly affect its
performance. To do their job effectively and efficiently, they must be
made from high-quality materials and with precise dimensions. The
dimensions of each feature are an integral part of how a particular gear
works.

One type of coil spring is a torsion spring: the material of the
spring acts in torsion when the spring is compressed or extended. The
quality of spring is judged from the energy it can absorb.

Parts of Crank And Slotted Lever Mechanism:
The parts of the crank and slotted lever mechanism are limited. Its
construction is simple and plays an important role too. The crank and
slotted lever mechanism do consists of four links and pairs because it is a
single slider crank chain. Three of the four pairs are turning pairs, and the
remaining one is a sliding pair. A typical crank and slotted mechanism do
consists of the following parts.

Working Of The Crank And Slotted Lever Mechanism:
The working of the crank and slotted lever mechanism looks the same as
the Whitworth mechanism. The crank and slotted mechanism do work
with the help of a motor. The gear is connected to the Motor; as the
motor rotates, the gear will rotate. The slotted bar is connected to the gear
with the help of a slot. The slotted bar will move in to and fro motion due
to the rotation of the gear. The slotted bar movement will make an angle
of alpha as shown below.
30
As the slotted bar turns, the crank will rotate and helps the ram to achieve
the sliding movement.
31
The shaper consists a tool that fixed to a Ram (which is a slider link); we
can say that the ram is the part that will machine the workpiece. But the
internal mechanism that allows the ram to move is the Crank and Slotted
Lever Quick Return Mechanism. A gear is connected to the motor; the
connecting rod and crank will turn in a way to achieve the sliding motion
of the ram.
