CHALLLENGES FACED WITH THE USE OF VARIOUS

LIFTING PLATFORM

HYDRAULIC LIFTING PLATFORM:

➢It is not economical to the common technician or artesian.
➢It requires trained personnel to operate it.
➢Since it make use of oil, it require a temperature range for it proper
storage.
➢It is very difficult to move from place to place due to its complex
design.
CHALLLENGES FACED WITH THE USE OF VARIOUS
LIFTING PLATFORM

ELECTRIC LIFTING PLATFORM

➢It requires other accessories to be operated.
➢Electric lift cannot be used where the electric power is fluctuation.
➢It requires trained personnel to operate it successfully.
➢It requires regular maintenance
IMPROVED IDEA
 WARNING
➢To avoid personal injury, never go under the lift
platform until the load is removed.
➢Maintenance or servicing, electrical component
is essential.

Problem solving:
• Problem solving
• When door handle is lowered the springs compresses bringing
the spring attached to the latch expand which moves the latch
inside the door because force closed link is used in the latch
and lock when we apply force on it. It starts sliding.
• When force from the latch is removed the springs restore their
original position due to nature of flexibility and latch moves
inside again automatically when spring back to its original
position.
• As spring moves back to its position handle moves upward.
Sargent mortise lock set:
Analyze the problem:
• Because part of the door in which mortise locks must be hollowed
out for their installation, the installation process itself is somewhat
more involved and thus more expensive and time consuming. This
can drive up the initial cost of the lock. Furthermore, this installation
process requires a certain door thickness, which means that mortise
locks cannot be installed in every door.
• In the event that your lock becomes damaged or needs to be replaced
entirely, the process is more expensive as the old lock needs to be
removed entirely.
• And also costly their prices start from 8545rs.
Decide whether there should be door handles on
both sides of door or on just one side of the door:
• The door handles should be on both sides of the door because
persons of both sides are able to open the door.
If we have handles on both sides how they
connects:
• If we have handles on both sides of the door they connects through
spindle or connecting rod.
Motion of handle and door and mechanism:
• Motion of handle is reciprocating.
• Motion of latch is sliding
• Lock mechanism is used and convert the motion of handle into the
motion of the latch. A door lock contains a mechanism to operate a
latch or bolt.
Devise a way of automatically raising the handle
from the lowered position when it is released:
• We have to fit the sensor in the door locks and we can control it by
our smart phones and laptops. And named as smart locks.
Best designs:
• For home doors we have to use cylindrical door lock.
Evolution and modification:
• Cylindrical door locks:
• they are easy to install and not costly and available in reasonable
prices.
• It is strong and durable with rust and scratch free lock. It comes with
5 years warranty. and has and has antique and luxurious style.
• I have to improve its security by using smart locks system in it or we
can also used card for this purpose or smart phone and Wi-Fi
passwords for this.
Decide your door lock carefully
Especially when you got 4 children
fighting for 1 bathroom.
Lazy tong lift

• Lazy tong is a combination of linkages to transmit force from one

end to the other. In lazy tong linkages we apply force at the start
of the lazy tong this force is distributed between the no of links
attached in the lazy tong.
• Scissor lifts owe their mechanical capability to the pantograph
mechanism. Presented in a mechanical device that is a series of
connected parallelograms with hinged intersections that permit
the operator to elongate the mechanism whereas maintaining
the integrity of the geometric figure.
As L, the length of the base, increases, the pantograph contracts,
and X° decease while Y° increase
How could a platform be balanced on lazy-
tongs
• As the platform is fixed on the lazy tong linkages. When we apply
force (Input) at the bottom of the lazy tong to lift it. We are
applying force simultaneously at the both starting points of the
lazy tong. In lazy tong all the connected links have equal length or
they are connected the same distance so, lazy tong balance the
platform automatically. These come in a variety of shapes, sizes,
and densities depending on the model. Platforms with rails
typically transport people, while ones without rails typically
transport materials. The platform is also called a “lift table.”
What could be used to make the lazy-tong linkage
move the platform up and down?
• There are many ways to move the platform up and down by applying
specific force at the bottom.
• We can do it: by hydraulic mechanism
By Lead Screw
By Pneumatic Pressure
How could the platform be attached to the lazy
tongs so that the lazy-tongs still work and the
platform is safe to use
• Platform attach to the lazy tong with the type of joint having low or
no movement. Because, if it has more movement there will be a
chance that the platform displaces from its stable position. The
surface area of the joint should also to large to sustain the specific
load.
Choose the mechanism that solves the
problem the most effectively
• Hydraulic system is the most efficient answer because in the case
there is a sliding contact between the shaft and the lazy tong and it
will easily lift it. If we select lead screw method it will difficult to lift a
heavy load with it due to revolutery contact between the lead screw
and moving collar of lazy tong.

SCISSOR LIFT MECHANISM
SAIRA SHOUKAT (IEM-18-25)
Q1: How lazy tongs works?

• The mechanism to achieve this is to use of links, folding supports is X

pattern. The upper motion is achieved by application of pressure to
the outside of the lowest set of the supports, elongating the crossing
pattern and propelling the work platform vertically upward.
• when hydraulic fluid is forced into or out of the hydraulic cylinders.As
hydraulic fluid is forced into a cylinder, the cylinder strokes outward
forcing the scissor legs apart
Q2: how workplatform is balanced?

Holes and openings can be situated symmetrically in relation to the

frame/platform centre, typically at the four corners
Q3: what could be used to make the lazy tongs
linkage move the platform up and down?

One of the 2 mechanism can be used to lift the platform up and down
through lazy tongs linkages.
• Four bar mechanism
• Slider crank mechanism
But here we considered one DC motor as the driving
mechanism. It is located at the base and connected with the slider
crank
Q4: how could a platform be attached to lazy
tong so that they still work and the platform is
safe to use?

• The platform is attached in such a way that in size should be

according to the size of the links or levers attached in lazy tongs
linkage.
• It should attached with rigid links using nuts and bolts
ANALYZE THE PROBLEM

The design described in the case study is developed keeping in mind

that the lift can be operated by mechanical means by using pantograph
so that the overall cost of the scissor lift is reduced. In our case our lift
was needed to be designed a portable and also work without
consuming any electric power so we decided to to use a hydraulic hand
pump to power the cylinder
 List of mechanism use to lift platform up and
down

These are:
• By mechanical means
• Hydraulic mechanism
• Pneumatic lifts
Mechanical means:
A scissor lift, or commonly called as a table lift, is mainly used to lift
people upwards with its criss-crossing foundation supporting beneath
the platform
 Hydrualic means

In the hydraulic type, the load screw is replaced by a hydraulic

ram powered by a pump and on electric motor and generator
The hydraulic lift consist of a ram sliding in a
cylinder. A platform or a cage is fitted to the top
end of ram on which goods may be placed or the
persons may stand. As the liquid under pressure is
admitted to the cylinder, the ram moves up and
the cage is lifted. The lift of the cage is equal to
the stroke of the ram. The cage moves in the
downward direction when the liquid from the
fixed cylinder is removed.
DOOR LATCH MEHCANISM
Problem analysis

Most door lock parts loosen up with time and after extended periods of use.
This is especially true for locks that are used on exterior doors that serve as
primary ingress and egress points.
Door handle on one side or both?

Door handle on both sides or on one side depend upon the condition
where it required.
 Connected or not

They should be connected. If the door is locked from inside/outside

then it should be unlocked from the other side.
But in some cases like draws there is no need of handles on both side
because there is no possibility to unlock the door from other side
Motion of the handle

The motion of the

door handle is
reciprocating motion
or oscillatory motion
 Motion of the latch

Motion of the latch is linear motion

mechanism
Question 1
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
Idea:
keyless smart lock 2nd generation.
Question 2
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
The problem is door nobs and handles may be damage due to excess
use with time.
Another problem is door lock may stuck due to poor mechanism.
Question 3
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
The door handles must be on both sides for rooms but for main
door/gate it must be on inner side.
Question 4
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
The doors handle must be on both sides and they are must be
connected. As if someone open door from outside the person who is
inside must know that the door is unlocked from outside.
Question 5
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
The motion of handle is either clockwise or Anti-clock wise.
Question 6
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
The motion of latch is reciprocating.
When nob moves anti-clock wise latch drawn into door.
When nob moves clock wise latch moves outward from door.
Question 7
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
The mechanism must be Crank and slider that will produce
reciprocating motion of latch from rotary motion of nob.
Question 8
Arifa Akbar IEM-18-35
The mechanism of nob when it moves anti-clockwise the latch drawn
into the door and door is unlocked. When nob moves clockwise the
latch moves outward and door is locked.
Evaluation of design
This design of door lock solve the problem of damage of lever or nob as
it is connected with mobile and sensor when it sense the mobile signals
it can open or close.

• By using lock on it
• Put driver in the spindle. When rotates the lock the driver rotates in it
• On the other hand the piece is fixed called fixed cam(rotates with
spindle) and second cam is on the other direction called sliding cam
• When door lock rotating cam the push sliding cam
• When unlocked spring will pushed it back in original position
How do lazy-tongs work?
• combination of linkages to transmit force from one end to the
other
• In lazy tong linkages we apply force at the start of the lazy tong this
force is distributed between the number of links attached in the
lazy tong.
Scissor lift
• Scissor lift is process is performed by the pantograph mechanism and
it uses apparatus to perform either up or down.
How could a platform be balanced on lazy-tongs?

• Platform is fixed on lazy tong

• The lazy tongue is balanced in such a way that its right and left sides
are symmetrical and equal from each other and their movement is
synchronized.
• In this case, we apply small amount of force and get more and either
change the direction of motion.
What could be used to make the lazy-tong linkage

platform is safe to use
• Surface area of joints must b large to bear heavy loads
• Platform must be attached with fixed joint so platform will be fixed
Best mechanism
• The power source is turned on and begins to fill the cylinder (s) with
hydraulic fluid or compressed air.
• Hydraulic fluid or compressed air is pushed from one area to another.
• The cylinder is pushed outwards and causes the legs to push apart.
• The platform is raised.
