Here you can find application examples in the form of videos from the field of Caravan and Camping, with topics such as pop-up roofs, foldable step-ladders and retractable door handles.
Kinematics of a pop-up roof of a mobile home
In the following you will see an example of the kinematics for a pop-up roof, generated with the kinematics design software ASOMv7, which is often found in the caravan industry for camping vans and caravans.
Table kinematics, linkage for lifting a table top
Basic kinematics example of a folding dining table. The middle plate in the table shown here is automatically lifted into the center position by four-bar systems on each of the two sides. The two partial systems are kinematically independent of each other.
Rear Spoiler Kinematics with Joint Friction
Basic example for the kinematics of a rear spoiler with masses, forces and bearing friction.
Foldable Car Seat
Kinematic design for a two-part foldable car seat with consideration of forces (example from the seating industry).
Retractable Door Handle
Example for the design of a kinematic mechanism for a flush-mounted retractable door handle with kinematic synthesis of two kinematic systems (serial connection of two synthesis methods). Forces and torques are considered in various alternative cases simultaneously, also taking into account further restrictions such as mounting conditions and collision conditions.
Height Adjustment for Car Seats
Creation of an interactive four bar linkage mechanism synthesis for the height adjustment of a car seat in ASOM v7.
