Wheel Loader Design By Philipp Klaschka Zeyad AlMukhaizeem University Of the Pacific
Project overview • Background • Assumptions • Calculations • Materials and Manufacturing Methods • Discussion • Conclusions • List of references • Acknowledgments
Background • History of the wheel loader • Purpose and usage • Market Size and consumptions • Patent Claims • Competitive options • BBB and Consumer reports
Assumptions • Assumed lifting weight 500Kg • Dimensions and Angles
Pictures of the Actual design New Holland Design Caterpillar Design
Calculation (New Holland) • New Holland’s wheel loader. • Schematic design of the product:
New Holland’s FBDs • Free Body Diagrams of the New Holland Design Shovel A
New Holland’s FBDs (cont.) Member B (2 Force Member) Member D: (2 Force Member)
New Holland’s FBDs (cont.) Member E Member F
New Holland’s FBDs (cont.) Member G Member C
Calculations (Caterpillar) • Caterpillar wheel loader • Schematic design of the product:
Caterpillar’s FBDs Arms analysis
Caterpillar’s FBDs (cont.) Linkage analysis Shovel Analysis
Materials and Manufacturing Methods • Metal, Oil, Rubber • Welding of the metal into beams
Discussion • Product Comparison • Mechanical Advantage • Price • Quality of the product • How to choose a good wheel loader
Conclusion • New Holland’s Design can lift higher. • Caterpillar is better if you want to minimize the power consumption. • Other sizes and models available too.
