INTRODUCTION

 There has been a serious demand for intermittent movement of packages in the industries right from
the start.
 The objective of our project is to produce a mechanism that delivers this stop and move motion using
mechanical linkages.
 The advantage of our system over the conveyor system is that the system has a time delay between
moving packages.
 And this delay can be used to introduce any alterations in the package or move the package for any
other purpose and likewise.
 The system is expected to move as heavy packages as 5- 10 kg approximately

1 SMITH ET 2018 Focuses on developing an efficient mechanism for transferring boxes. The study
explores the design parameters, such as link lengths and joint locations, to optimize
the transfer process. used computer simulations and mathematical models to
analyze the performance of the mechanism. They considered factors like speed,
accuracy, and energy efficiency. The study also discusses the influence of different
variables, such as box weight and friction, on the mechanism's performance . The
researchers proposed several design modifications to enhance the mechanism's
capabilities. They evaluated the impact of these modifications through simulations
and experiments. The results showed improved performance in terms of speed and
accuracy.

2 JOHNSON AND LEE 2019 Focuses on optimizing the four-bar linkage mechanism to enhance the efficiency of box transfer. The
study explores various parameters, such as link lengths, joint angles, and input torque, to improve the
mechanism's performance . Johnson and Lee used computer simulations and mathematical modeling
techniques to analyze the behavior of the mechanism. By optimizing the four-bar linkage mechanism,
Johnson and Lee's study offers valuable insights for achieving efficient box transfer in various
applications. It provides a framework for designers to improve the performance of such mechanisms
while considering different design constraints.

3 R .POOJARI 2017 The box moving or shifting set up has a simple mechanism, operated with crank and links
arrangement. The rotary motion is converted in to linear motion by the crank and mechanical
linkages arrangement. This is mainly used for transporting (moving/shifting) boxes automatically.
The principle of box moving is to change circulatory motion or cycling motion of the DC motor into
translator motion with the help of levers and linkages through metal connecting rods. Can use this
mechanism in medical production fields. It also can be used in bottle filling process

 Reverse-motion linkage: Fig. 1(a) can make objects or force move in opposite directions;
this can be done by using the input link as a lever.

 If the fixed pivot is equidistant from the moving pivots, output link movement will equal
input link movement, but it will act in the opposite direction

 Push-pull linkage: Fig. 1(b) can make the objects or force move in the same direction; the
output link moves in the same direction as the input link.

 Technically classed as a four-bar linkage, it can be rotated through 360° without changing
its function.

 Parallel-motion linkage: Fig. 1(c), can make objects or forces move in

the same direction, but at a set distance apart.

 The moving and fixed pivots on the opposing links in the parallelogram
must be equidistant for this linkage to work correctly.

 Bell-crank linkage: Fig. 1(d) can change the direction of objects or

force by 90°. This linkage rang doorbells before electric clappers were
invented.

 More recently this mechanism has been adapted for bicycle brakes.

2D MODEL
 A 2D geometric model is a geometric model of
an object as a two-dimensional figure, usually
on the Euclidean or Cartesian plane
 a 2D geometri model is often adequate for
certain flat objects, such as paper cut-outs and
machine parts made of sheet metal.
 For the 2D and 3D model we are use the solid
edge v19 software.

3D MODEL
 3D modeling is the process of developing a
mathematical coordinate
 Based representation of any surface of an object
(inanimate or living) in three dimensions via
specialized software by manipulating edges,
vertices, and polygons in a simulated 3D space.
 Three-dimensional (3D) models represent a
physical body using a collection of points in 3D
space, connected by various geometric entities
such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc.

CONCLUSION
 The box shifting mechanism plays a major role in industries, the process of transporting or shifting products
from one place to another was to be maintained by conveyors only.
 The project aims in successfully altering this with a box shifting mechanism using the kinematics links and a
motor.
 The box transport mechanism is used in small scale industries like soap manufacturing unit, biscuit packaging
etc. We were handle the size of the box is normally 2 to 3 kg of packaging boxes.
 There is a much to the scope in development of an accurate mathematical model and simulation for the
kinematics, dynamics, and motion analysis of the machine for the precise application.
