Literature Study and Simulation of Screw-type Elevators

Abstract

Innovating and discovering new ideas and implementing new methodology has led engineering to develop new products for convenient and comfortable living. These innovative ideas and methods led to development in mechanical system by replacing the existing mechanism with newly found ideas. Among those developments, a new elevation mechanism created a platform for screw type elevators. This paper gives the working of the screw type elevators along with structural design of the mechanism and superstructure, the designs were simulated using SolidWorks. The simulated structural modules and the operation of screw type elevators along with its advantages over the existing pulley mechanism are detailed in this paper. Thus the objective of the paper is in two folds, (i) Proves that the screw type elevator is best suited for domestic purpose, (ii) Proposed new drive mechanism performs comparatively better than the existing screw type belt coupled elevators.
