Ss2 Technical Drawing Lesson Plan Week 5
2022]
TIME TABLE FIT: In the previous lesson, the learners had learnt about the concept of link
mechanism and the plotting of loci of a simple link mechnism
MAIN AIM: The learners will be able to plot the loci of a link mechanism which has two loci
that is symmetrical and mark out the loci of a link mechanism that has two cranks of different
sizes
SUBSIDIARY AIMS: By the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to
1. Plot the loci of a link mechanism which has two loci that is symmetrical
2. Mark out the loci of a link mechanism that has two cranks of different sizes
PERSONAL AIM: To ensure that the learners fully understand the process involved in
plotting the loci of a link mechanism which has two loci that is symmetrical and marking out
the loci of a link mechanism that has two cranks of different sizes
ASSUMPTION: The leaners may have seen or heard about plotting the loci of a link
mechanism which has two loci that is symmetrical and marking out the loci of a link
mechanism that has two cranks of different sizes from their textbook or online.
ANTICIPATED PROBLEM: The learner may find it difficult to understand the process
involved in plotting the loci of a link mechanism which has two loci that is symmetrical and
marking out the loci of a link mechanism that has two cranks of different sizes
TEACHING MATERIAL: Drawing materials and equipment, Posters, Charts, Video clips
etc.
LEAD IN: Every mechanism must be visualized as moving, where the different parts produce
different loci for their different parts. When plotting the locus of a mechanism we divide the
motion in temporal spaces and then plot the required loci.
PROCEDURE
STEP 1: PLOTTING THE LOCI OF A LINK MECHANISM WHICH HAS TWO LOCI
THAT IS SYMMETRICAL
Example 1: In the figure, the crank AB rotates clock wise about A and the crank CD rotates
anticlockwise about C. The crank are joined by the link BDF. Plot the locus of points E and F
for one revolution of AB. AB and DC are 45mm, BD is 120mm, and BE and DF are 30mm.
Solution
Solution
STUDENTS’ EVALUATION:
1. The arrangement in the figure below, shows crank AB, which rotates about A and DC also
rotates about D. Rod BC are pin jointed at B and C respectively
a) Draw the arrangement as shown below
b) Plot the locus of point E for on revolution of CD in clockwise direction see data below for
solution
ASSIGNMENT:
1. The arrangement in the figure below, shows crank AB, which rotates about A and DC also
rotates about D. Rod BC are pin jointed at B and C respectively
a) Draw the arrangement as shown below
b) Plot the locus of point E for on revolution of CD in clockwise direction see data below for
solution
2. The figure below shows a crank mechanism. The crank OJ rotates uniformly anticlockwise
about O and the lever KL is pivoted at L. Using the given dimensions, construct the locus of
point P for a complete revolution of OJ
CONCLUSION: In tracing the locus made by a link mechanism, the function of the crank,
piston, connecting rod, or even engine block must be understood. Engineers, in fact mechanical
engineers cannot uperate successfully without the knowledge of each component parts of an
engine.
