Tiivistelmä
This study simulates the 3D design and modelling of the cat litter box on the software called Solidworks. The 3D design, 3D modelling, and 2D drawing demonstrated this design plan and concept in all aspects. Further study is required to investigate background and demands to determine the usefulness of the litter box and find the design direction. Then find a design improvement method according to the advantages and disadvantages of the existing Litter-Robot.
At the beginning of modelling, Litter-Robot guided the design idea to achieve the demands of a full manual cat litter box. The heavyweight of the cat litter box and contained litter cause the cleaning process became tiring. To develop a force-saving model, the improved edition design added two force-saving devices- gear system and lever device.
Comparing with the precision components or other mechanical experiments, this research seems to lack academic knowledge. However, it is indispensable to consider the material selection, the strength of the material, the yield strength, and etcetera that all belong to the mechanical field. The purpose of our research is to show people how to deal with problems in reality in mechanical way.
