Rollerblade Braking System Design Team #11
Design Team #11 • Team Members • Jeffery Aucoin • Dima Eshtaya • Sean Milley • Jamie Zwicker • Team Supervisor • Dr. Robert Bauer
Introduction Existing Design Proposed Design http://www.jacqdesign.com/img/blog/photos/RollerbladeCrossfire4D.jpg
Existing Design Rubber Stop Pad
Existing Design • Rubber Pad attached to the heel of one rollerblade • To stop user must push the pad against the ground to create a braking force http://www.skatescool.com/inline-skating/learn-how-to-t-stop-on-inline-skates/
Areas of Improvement • Balance and Stability • Difficulty/Technique • Pad Wear and Lifetime • Stopping Distance http://www.skatescool.com/inline-skating/learn-how-to-t-stop-on-inline-skates/
Stability Existing Design Proposed Design
Testing • Maximum speed: 30km/h • Average stopping distance from 20km/h: 13m
Design Requirements Requirements of Proposed Design
Design Requirements • Removable • Support a 225lb user • Improved braking distance • Maintain mobility/stability • Controlled stop • Increased lifetime • Serviceable
Design Selection Foot Support Wheel Frame and Assembly Brake Actuator and Application Power Supply Control Unit
Foot Support • Ability to attach over existing footwear • Modify existing snowboard binding • Add third strap • Adjust mobility of back support http://5150snowboarding.com/product/ff1500
Wheel Frame • Housing for all components of the skate • ⅛” Square Channel Iron • Dimensioned to incorporate range of shoe sizes
Braking Application Electric Drum Disk
Electric/Magnetic Brakes • Good for high speed braking • Provides energy feedback • Brake force diminishes as speed decreases • Cannot lock up http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/runway-girl/Gear%20shot%201.JPG
Drum Brakes • Least actuating force • Complex setup • Not easily serviceable • Poor heat dissipation • Prone to brake fade http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/brakes/brake-types/disc-brake1.htm
Disk Brakes • High actuating forces • High rate of heat dissipation • Less susceptible to brake fade • Easily serviceable • Require little maintenance http://mtobikes.com/wp-content/magura-louise-mountain-bike-disc-brake.jpg
Wheel Assembly • All rotating pieces • Axles • Bearings • Wheels • Brake rotors
Brake Actuators Hydraulic Pump Solenoid / Piston Setup Electric Motor with Power Screw and Piston Setup
Hydraulic Pump • Provides adequate pressure • Too Large in size / weight • High cost http://www.mesltd.co.uk/images/ZSIM21118476.jpg
Solenoid / Piston Setup • Provides adequate force • Forces diminishes with displacement • Large power requirement • High current draw http://www.fwmurphy.co.uk/images/RP23xx_solenoid_medres.jpg
Electric Motor with Power Screw and Piston • High torque motor • High forces generated • High pressure output • Low power consumption • Low cost, weight and size http://www.robotshop.ca/rbban07-banebots-planetary-gearmotor.html
Power Screw Calculations Power Screw Specs Output Force http://www.roton.com/application_engineering.aspx Required Actuating Force = 78.5N
Power Supply Solar Alternator Battery
Power Supply • Solar • Alternator • Battery Power http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?language=en- CA&catalog=Online&category=RC+Toy+Batteries& product=2300322
Remote Control Hydraulic Lines Wireless
Hydraulic Lines • Simplest Control • Connects user’s hands to feet • Mobility compromised http://media.rei.com/media/dd/84f36172-d484-4224-a6cc-00a2fa3e0ec6.jpg
Wireless • Additional Requirements • Eliminates physical connection • Mobility maintained http://www.robotshop.ca/pololu-high-power-motor-controller-1.html http://www.robotshop.ca/dfrobot-usb-microcontroller-atmega168.html http://www.robotshop.ca/sfe-xbee-explorer-regulated.html
Budget $1,330.74
