Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 機電整合研究所 === 99 === This study is about the research and development of a lifting mechanism for toilets. Its purpose is to design a lifting mechanism of single-operation, sitting comfort, and saving space, which is suitable for disable users. This research collected, classified, and analyzed all patents about the lifting devices for toilets. A design direction was found from patent analysis. A four-bar kinematic chain satisfying the design conditions was obtained from mechanism synthesis. CAD software was used to construct computer model and to verify interference conditions. CAE software was employed to analyze stress distribution in different operation positions to ensure sufficient strength of the lifting device. Finally, a prototype was built to verify its functions and practicability.
