1.4 Design of Storage Mechanism
Storage mechanism is one of the important components of the spoon bundling
machine. The spoon bundles of 100–200 spoons will be installed on this storage
mechanism. The base of the storage mechanism is shown in Fig. 3. The storage in
which the spoons will be stored is shown in Fig. 4.
Normally, Storage means simply to store the things or equipment’s or material in
a container or in a store room or at any other safe place that we can call as storage. In
Spoon Bundling Machine, the main aim of this storage system is to store the bundles
of the wooden ice cream spoons in it. There will be a belt drive mechanism which
will guide the spoon from this storage to the slots of the star wheel. Height of the
storage is 400 mm. Length of the storage is 115 mm. Generally, in one bundle of
spoon there are 100–200 spoons in each bundle. These huge bundles of spoon are to
be installed in the storage. So according to the availability of the number of spoons
in each bundle, the height of the storage is decided i.e. 400 mm As this bundle of
spoon will be installed by the man, so as to increase the man’s comfort this height
has been decided. Suppose there is the bundle of spoon in which there are total 100
spoons in it. So, the man will easily put two bundles of the spoon at a time. So as a
result, the man will not have to repeatedly fill the storage again and again. Thickness
of one spoon = 1.5 mm and height of the Storage = 400 mm.
Therefore, it can be said that the man can fill at least (400/1.5 = 266.67) 250
spoons at a time. Now, the length of the spoon is 90 mm. And the length of the
Storage is 115 mm. From this total length, 90 mm length will be occupied by the
