8. MOTOR SIZING AND BATTERY SIZING - O-Division-2020-2021-Even/Repo-16 GitHub Wiki
Motor sizing:-
DC motor:
Approximate Weight of drawer, rack and pinion= 0.5 kg
Number of DC motors = 1
The radius of the pinion =0.05m
Weight acting on DC motor = M = 0.5 kg
Co-efficient of friction = 0.45
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Force = F = Co-efficient of friction x M x g = 0.450.59.8=2.205N
Torque = T = F x R = 2.205*0.05= 0.11025 N-m = 1.1025 kg-cm
Total Torque = T x Factor of safety (FOS) = T x 1.5 = 1.1025= 1.65375 kg-cm
Therefore, we require 1 20 rpm DC motor for the opening of the drawer.
Servo motor:
Approximate Weight of hook= 0.1 kg
Number of servo motor = 1
The radius of the angular hook =0.03m
Weight acting on servo motor = M = 0.1 kg
Co-efficient of friction = 0.45
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Force = F = Co-efficient of friction x M x g = 0.450.19.8=0.441N
Torque = T = F x R = 0.441*0.05= 0.02205N-m = 0.2205 kg-cm
Total Torque = T x Factor of safety (FOS) = T x 1.5 = 0.2205 *1.5= 0.33075 kg-cm
Battery Sizing:
Sr No | Components | Quantity | Voltage Required | Current Drawn |
---|---|---|---|---|
1. | DC motor | 1 | 12V | |
2. | SG 90 Servo motor | 1 | 5V | 100mA |
3. | Aurdino UNO R3 | 1 | 5V | 100mA |
- So, for 12V current drawn (C1) = 600 mA
- For 5V currents drawn (C2) = 100+100=200mA
Now considering the factor of safety FOS = 1.2
C1= 600*1.2 C1= 720 mA = 0.720 A
C2= 200*1.2 C2= 240 mA = 0.24 A
For time(T)=3 hrs
For 12 V
Battery required = 0.720*3 = 2.16 Ah
For 5V
Battery required = 0.24*3 = 0.72 Ah
