    The document discusses toggle positions in a crank rocker mechanism. It defines two toggle positions: 1) when the crank and coupler links are collinear and 2) when this occurs at either the extended or overlapping positions. It also notes that at these positions, the mechanism cannot be back driven from the rocker link. The document then discusses finding the maximum and minimum input angles for a non-Grashof triple rocker mechanism using trigonometry and differentiation. Finally, it provides some examples of applications that use toggle mechanisms, such as stone crushers, punch presses, and truck tailgates.

    Consider a Crank Rocker mechanism

    Toggle positions
    Toggle positions
    • O2C2D2 Link 2 & Link 3
    become collinear
    • C1O2D1

    • The toggle positions are determined by the collinearity of two of the moving
    links.
    • when the crank O2C (link 2) is collinear with the coupler CD (link 3), either extended
    collinear or overlapping collinear . It cannot be back driven from the rocker (link 4)
    through these collinear positions, but when the crank (link 2) is driven, it will carry
    through both toggles because it is Grashof.

    • These toggle positions also define the limits of motion of the driven rocker
    Crank angles corresponding to the toggle positions ?

    Consider non-Grashof triple-rocker

    Line h is shared by two triangles and hence using


    trigonometry, we could write

    To find the maximum and minimum values of input angle θ, above expression can be
    differentiated w.r.t to θ and setting to 0
    −2𝑎𝑑 −𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃𝑑𝜃 = −2𝑏𝑐(−sinμ𝑑𝜇) 2

    𝑑𝜃 𝑏𝑐𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜇 This expression can only be zero when


    = = 0 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜇 = 0, 𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝜇 = 0° 𝑜𝑟 180°
    𝑑𝜇 𝑎𝑑𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
    Since links a,b,c & d can not be zero.
    If μ = 0° 𝑜𝑟 180° then cos𝜇 = ±1, Substituting these two values for cos𝜇 in Eq. 1. give a
    Solution for 𝜃
    Applications
    The toggle mechanism has many applications where overcome a large
    resistance with a small driving force is necessary, for example, clutches, rock
    crushers, truck tailgates, punching machines, forging machines, injection
    moulding machines

    Input

    Output

    Stone crusher
