1.3. DESIGN of CRUSHING MECHANISM

We may apply the following calculation to determine the safety factor for the connecting rode:

Yield Stress / (Force / (D * W * Kt)) = Factor of Safety

Yield Stress is given as 620 MPa.

1400 N of force
W = 0.8 Kt = 2.01 D = 5 mm

The thickness must first be converted from millimetres to meters:

D = 5 mm = 0.005 m

We can now determine the safety factor:

Factor of Safety = 620 MPa/1400 N/(0.005 m*0.8*2.01)

Safety Factor: 5.47

As a result, the safety factor is around 5.47.

For the rode that connect the piston with the first rode:

As follows: Force (F) = 1400 N

The rod's thickness (W) is 15 mm, or 0.015 m.
The material's yield stress (_yield) is 620 MPa, or 620 106 N/m2, and its D/W is 4.2/15, or 0.28 Kt, or
2.4.

Let's first determine the real tension on the rod:

Real stress (_actual) is equal to (F Kt) / (D W).

The following values are substituted: _actual = (1400 N 2.4) / (0.28 0.015 m)

We can now determine the safety factor:

Factor of Safety (FS) is calculated as yield / actual.

Values are substituted as follows: FS = (620 106 N/m2) / _actual

Calculate _actual and FS as follows:

57142857.14 N/m2 (1400 N 2.4) / (0.28 0.015 m)

FS = 57142857.14 N/m2 / (620 106 N/m2) = 10.84

2. PROJECT OUTCOMES

2.1. FINAL DESIGN

The Can Crusher Machine's final design consists of numerous essential parts, including a
mechanism with a piston, crank, and slider and a gearbox with two compound stage gears arranged
inverted. A motor that powers the machine powers the mechanism's motion.

MECH 330 Final Report, SPRING 2023 Page 12

Operation:

The motor begins to rotate as soon as the machine is turned on.

The gearbox receives the motor's rotation and converts it into more rotational speed and torque.
The crankshaft, which transforms the rotary motion into reciprocating action, receives the rotating motion
from the gearbox.
The slider transmits the crankshaft's reciprocating action to the piston.
The can is pushed against by the piston as it oscillates back and forth in the crushing chamber.
The can is reduced in volume when the piston's thrust pushes it up against a hard surface.
After being crushed, the can falls into a collecting container where it can be recycled or disposed of later.
As long as cans are introduced into the machine and it is running, the procedure continues.

The engineering goals were effectively attained by the design:

1400 N of crushing force is provided by the mechanism, providing effective can crushing.
Cost: The machine's total cost falls within the $100 limit that was set.
The machine runs at a speed of 0.152 m/s, which makes crushing continuous and effective.
The design uses a maximum of 15 pieces, which simplifies assembly and lowers complexity.
Sound Level: The machine operates quietly thanks to its 10 dB sound level.
Lifespan: The design has a 2 year predicted lifespan, which satisfies the required level of durability.

The design produces the necessary mechanical advantage to provide the requisite crushing force
by utilizing the piston, crank, and slider mechanism and the gearbox with compound stage gears. For
effective functioning, the motor supplies both the power and rotating motion. The design is a suitable option
for crushing cans in restaurants in Qatar since it effectively satisfies the predetermined criteria in terms of
force, cost, speed, part count, sound level, and longevity.

Comprehensive testing and analysis, including performance tests, stress analyses of crucial
components, and durability evaluations, were done to confirm that the goals had been met. The design's
dependability and functionality were ensured by making any necessary alterations and modifications. The
final layout not only satisfies the project's goals but also offers a practical way to recycle cans and lessen
restaurant pollution.

The Can Crusher Machine project made sure that the finished product matched customer needs
and industry standards by including these limitations and criteria into the design. The chosen crushing
power, speed, cost, sound level, and longevity goals were met by the design solution. The appropriate
engineering study, including material selection, testing, and compliance checks, played a significant role in
finalizing the final design and guaranteeing its performance.

2.2. INTEGRATION of CONSTRAINTS and STANDARDS

For the Can Crusher Machine project to be successful and fulfil client needs, the limitations and
criteria mentioned in section 1.2 were included into the final design. Here is how each restriction and
requirement was met:

Cost Restrictions: The project's budget was $100. The design team carefully considered materials
and components that were cost-effective without sacrificing the machine's usefulness and longevity in order
to adhere to this requirement. For instance, using alumina as the foundation material rather than alloy steel
allowed for cost savings while maintaining the required level of strength and stability.

To ensure performance, durability, and safety, the can crusher machine had to fulfil industry quality
requirements. To assure robustness and dependability, the design team used sturdy materials, such alloy
steel for crucial components. To ensure that the equipment fulfilled the necessary quality requirements,
extensive testing and quality control procedures were put in place.

Compliance with Regulations: The project had to abide by all applicable laws and rules, particularly
those pertaining to safety and the environment. In order to prevent accidents and guarantee user safety,
the design team thoroughly examined the relevant rules and included in the required safety measures, such
as safety guards and emergency stop buttons, into the machine.

Due to resource limitations, the project needed to use its resources wisely in order to succeed. The
design team reduced the number of pieces in the machine to a maximum of 15, making assembly easier
and lowering the cost of production. Alternative materials were also included as fall back choices in the
event of resource limitations.

The can crusher device has to be ergonomically sound, user-friendly, and visually appealing. The
design team includes components like a lever or button for ease of use after carefully considering user
requirements, such as operating simplicity. To design a visually pleasing machine, aesthetics were also
taken into consideration.

Implementing DFM&A principles can lead to significant cost savings by eliminating or reducing the
need for complex manufacturing processes, streamlining assembly operations, and reducing material
waste. It also improves product quality and reliability, as designs are optimized for manufacturability and
assembly.
By eliminating or lowering the need for complicated manufacturing processes, optimizing assembly
procedures, and minimizing material waste, the use of DFM&A principles can result in considerable cost
savings. As designs are optimized for manufacture and assembly, it also enhances product quality and
dependability.

The cost analysis, which includes material costs, manufacturing costs, and hidden costs, offers a
thorough description of the expenses incurred in the creation of the can crusher machine. DFM&A concepts
may be used to further optimize the manufacturing and assembly processes, leading to cost reductions and
higher-quality products.

2.4. ITERATION to IMPROVE DESIGN

The Design was improved in two ways,

Worm Gears were first chosen as the kind of gear for the can-crushing machine. However, it was found
that a Spur Gear design would be more appropriate after more assessment and investigation. Spur Gears
were chosen as a replacement due to factors including cost, effectiveness, and manufacturability.

Spur gears were chosen because of their efficiency, simplicity, and ease of production and installation.
Spur gears are used to transmit power between parallel shafts. Because their teeth line up with the gear axis,
they operate smoothly and consistently. The following equation provided evidence in favour of the change in
gear type:
Spur gear efficiency () = (100 - (K R)) / 100
(Where R is the gear ratio and K is the coefficient of friction.)

We wanted to reduce the total cost and complexity of Worm Gears while maximizing the efficiency of
power transfer by using Spur Gears.

MECH 330 Final Report, SPRING 2023 Page 17

 Foundation Material Optimization: The original design concept used four chunks of alumina weighing
a combined 2970 grams as the engine's foundation material. A thorough cost study, however, showed that
this strategy was not cost-effective.

A redesigned design was used, replacing the four pieces of Alumina with a single piece that complied
with the necessary criteria in order to reduce the cost of the base material. The price of this substitute basic
material was much lower—less than one dollar. The following equation helped justify choosing the substitute
base material:
Cost of the original design minus the cost of the revised design equals total cost savings.

We reduced costs while keeping the can crusher machine's structural integrity and functioning by
improving the base material. The updated design simplified the manufacturing process and decreased
material waste.
The Can Crusher Machine project involves switching from worm gears to spur gears as a result of cost,
efficiency, and manufacturability issues. A more affordable substitute for four pieces of Alumina was used as
part of the basic material's optimization. These choices intended to improve the machine's performance and
cost-efficiency and were backed by mathematics.
We effectively increased the can crusher machine's overall functionality and cost-effectiveness by analysing
and improving these design elements. This helped us meet the project's goals and highlighted the value of
in-depth study and optimization in product development.

3. PROJECT CLOSURE
3.1. REFLECTION

The finished product matches the original project's description. The developed can crusher machine
has a sturdy frame, a crushing mechanism, and a container for collecting crushed cans. It has elements
that make it easy to use, such a lever or button. The machine is portable, appropriate for both residential
and commercial usage, and it accomplishes the goals of can recycling and pollution reduction.

A structural analysis to ensure the strength and stability of the frame and components, a motion
analysis to optimize the movement of the piston and crank-slider mechanism, and a material selection
analysis to assess the suitability and cost-effectiveness of various materials for various parts are additional
engineering analyses that could have aided in the design.

By performing research and consulting industry standards for safety, product design, and
environmental laws, the most pertinent rules and standards were found. The machine had to adhere to the
necessary safety regulations, performance requirements, and environmental concerns, which was made
possible by these codes and standards, which had an impact on the design modification. For the purpose
of ensuring a trustworthy and safe product, the design was altered and improved to meet these
requirements.

In retrospect, the concept creation stage of the design process may have benefited from more time.
A broader variety of design options and thorough analyses may have produced more creative and efficient
solutions. Furthermore, additional effort might have been spent on comprehensive testing and prototyping
to confirm the design's performance and usefulness. On the other side, the preliminary research stage
could have taken less time because it concentrated on already-existing solutions and widely accepted
criteria.

If given the chance to repeat the course with the same project some areas for improvement, would
be:

Doing more thorough market research to better comprehend consumer preferences and wants.
To improve the final design, consider a wider range of design ideas and do careful analyses.
Giving testing and prototyping additional time will help to confirm the performance of the design and
spot any possible problems early in the process.
Enhancing communication with stakeholders or possible consumers to get their input and make
sure the design satisfies their needs.

Overall, the project improved my design abilities in a number of ways. It gave students hands-on
experience using engineering concepts to create a useful product. The project boosted problem-solving
and critical thinking abilities because it required taking into account a variety of elements, including
mechanical problems, safety difficulties, and user-friendliness. Design optimization abilities were improved
by the requirement to adhere to precise goals and restrictions, such as force, cost, speed, and the amount
of pieces. Additionally, the initiative promoted a knowledge of the significance of completing engineering
studies, abiding by applicable regulations and standards, and taking market demands into account. Overall,
the project helped students develop and hone their design talents in a practical setting.
