Synthesis  of  a  seven-link  statically  determined  spatial  hinge mechanism  with  an  additional movable crank link without redundant (passive) connection of the tumbling machine with a complex spatial movement of the working vessel with subsequent analytical study of its design and geometric parameters.  Methodology. The analytical method of research is used on the basis of geometric and structural synthesis of a spatial seven-link hinge mechanism with an additional movable crank link without redundant connection of the tumbling machine with a complex spatial movement of the working vessel. The machine was simulated in the SolidWorks-2016 computer-aided design system.  Tumbling  types  of  equipment  with  containers,  which  perform  a  different  character  of movement, are analyzed. On the basis of structural synthesis, the design of a seven-link statically defined spatial  mechanism  with  an  additional  movable  link,  a  tumbling  machine  crank,  in  which  the  working capacity performs a complex spatial movement, is proposed. Carried out 3D modeling of the machine in the CAD  system  SolidWorks  2016.  Analytical  studies  of  the  main  geometric  parameters  of  the  developed tumbling machine were carried out.  Scientific novelty. A relationship has been established between various geometric parameters of the synthesized seven-link statically determined spatial hinge mechanism, in particular, between the center-to-center length of the intermediate connecting rod (working capacity) and the length of the crank, which makes it  possible  to  calculate  the  necessary  ratios  of  the  lengths  of  the  links  of  the  mechanism  to  ensure  the functioning of the machine without jamming its spatial mechanism. Practical significance. A new design of a machine for processing parts has been developed, based on  a  seven-link  statically  determined  spatial  hinge  mechanism  with  an  additional  movable  crank  link. Mathematical dependences are obtained for calculating its basic design and geometric parameters. These dependencies can be used in the corresponding design bureaus of machine-building enterprises at the design stage of tumbling equipment with a complex spatial movement of working containers.

Kinetostatic  study  of  a  statically  determined  hinged  spatial  mechanism  without  redundant (passive) connection with an additional movable link – a rocker arm of a machine for processing parts, in which the working container performs complex spatial movement.  Methodology.  The  essence  of  the  kinetostatic  research  was  to  determine  the  radial  and  axial components of the reactions in all rotational kinematic pairs of the hinged statically defined spatial mechanism of  the  machine  for  processing  parts,  when  it  is  idling.  The  kinetostatic  study  was  implemented  using  the SolidWorks 2016 computer-aided design system with preliminary 3D modeling of this machine design with an additional moving link – a rocker.  Results. In the course of the kinetostatic study, 3D modeling of a machine with an additional movable link – a rocker arm in the SolidWorks 2016 computer-aided design system was carried out, the maximum values of the radial and axial components of reactions in all rotational kinematic pairs of the machine for processing parts were determined, the effect of changing the center distance of the intermediate connecting rod (working capacity ) on the increase in the maximum values of the reactions in all rotational kinematic pairs.  Scientific novelty. The relationship between the center distance of the intermediate connecting rod (working capacity) and the change in the maximum values of the reactions in all rotational kinematic pairs of the machine for processing parts is determined. As a result, it becomes possible to determine the maximum permissible center distance of the intermediate connecting rod to ensure the durable operation of the machine.  Practical significance. It is determined that the nature of the change in the maximum values of the radial  and  axial  components  of the  reactions  in  each  rotational  kinematic  pair  of  the  spatial  mechanism depends  on  the  value  of  the  coefficient  characterizing  the  ratio  of  the  center-to-center  length  of  the intermediate  connecting  rod  (working  capacity)  to  the  center-to-center  length  of  the  driving  or  driven connecting rods of the machine. The range of variation of this coefficient has been determined, within which it is rational to design this machine design. The results obtained can be used in the corresponding design bureaus of machine-building enterprises at the stage of designing tumbling equipment with a complex spatial movement of working containers.
