Description

2/27/2022: This project was made for a freshman engineering design course. I am not a mechanical engineer and cannot confirm the accuracy of this model.

In this project, an inline-four internal combustion engine is modeled. The design includes four pistons as well as a flywheel and timed camshafts to allow for proper intake and exhaust cycles. The final design includes a cutaway of the engine to show the function of the pistons. A hand crank was added to allow the model to be used for educational demonstration purposes. The hand crank rotates the crankshaft moving both the pistons and valves. The design is meant to allow instructors to show the cycles of a four-stroke piston system to their students in a more hands-on manner.

The final assembly references multiple subassemblies and parts outside of the assembly file. Therefore, the .f3d does not work correctly for manipulation.

PARTS:

1. Base block

2. Crankshaft

3. Belt

4. Hand crank

5. Small crankshaft belt gear

6. Large camshaft belt gear

7. camshaft gears

8. Piston head

9. Piston pin

10. Piston arm

11. Piston arm bottom (secures piston to crankshaft)

12. Camshafts

13. Camshaft cams

14. Valves

15. Flywheel

16. Springs

17. Miscellaneous retaining rings
