Abstract

The link truss was defined by analyzing the kinematics of the basic unit of the crank group mechanism, and summarized the structure unity in the crank group mechanisms with different topological structure. The calculation method was given for the number of the public constraints, that of the redundant constraints, and the DOF of the crank group mechanism with any number of crank by screw theory. The results show that the method reduces the number of the mechanism members, avoids the tedious calculations and achieves the unified description of DOF of the crank group mechanism with any number of the cranks based the link truss and the screw theory.
