Lego "Simple Mechanisms" and "WeDo Primal Robot". Lesson on Lego design "Simple mechanisms

LEGO Simple Machines 9689 and WeDo Primal Robot 9580 sets.
The price of these sets in Biglion is much lower compared to other stores (simple mechanisms 2190 against prices on the Internet from 4000, the first robot 3492 rubles against prices from 8000, often higher)

There are pickup points in almost all cities (postamats), many have courier delivery.
I ordered by courier, I can’t say anything about delivery to Postamaty ... I never used it at all.
Who doubted to take or not to take - ask what interests - I'll see.
We do not plan to open it yet, we will leave Gleba for Legocomp next year.

Simple mechanisms go! with instructions- it’s true that there is practically nothing to collect there, but for a start, this will be enough, and then come up with your own)
And here for Pervorobot, the purchase of software is required !!

Instructions for simple mechanisms:
If needed, I can take a larger picture with spreads. Everything is there as in standard kits - step-by-step assembly instructions. Nothing new. What can be collected can be seen on the covers:

Composition of simple mechanisms. Of course, the details are sooooo small for such a cost, even at a big discount in biglion ...

    Organizational part

slide 2

Look closely at the screen

    Main part (there are sets in front of the childrenLego)

Please tell us, do we have such a detail in the sets? Find her and show me. What shape is this item? (round)

In fact, this part is called a wheel. But it is not simple, how is this wheel different from a regular wheel? (teeth). Therefore, we will call this wheel a “gear wheel” or the second name is a gear.

This cogwheel has friends who are very similar to him. Look in the box and find other gears there.

Show them to me.

Here are the gears we have. And how do they differ?

They have a different number of teeth. There are straight teeth and in the form of a crown, they are called: spur gears and ring gear.

Guys, do you know how cogwheels greet each other? How do people greet each other when they meet? (list options)

And gears don't have hands, they have teeth. And if the gears are side by side, so that their teeth are in contact, this means that they greet. The teeth of the wheel prevent slipping.

All gears must engage securely with each other so that the transmission (gear pair) can work effectively. If one of the gears starts moving in the gear train, then the second one will also start moving, and the faster one moves, the faster the second gear moves. Here are some friendly details.

Drive gear - it is a wheel turned by an outside force, in this case your hand. Any gear turned by another gear is calleddriven wheel.

    change the direction of rotation

Turn the knob one full turn, count how many times the position marker turns.

One turn of the handle rotates the position marker one turn (grey axis). The speed of rotation of the driving and driven gears is the same, since they have the same number of teeth (40): ratio 1:1.

The driving and driven gears rotate in opposite directions.

The small wheel isintermediate gear. It does not change the speed of rotation of the large wheel, it only changes the direction of its rotation.

With one turn of the handle, the gray shaft turns one turn. The speed of rotation of the driving and driven wheels is the same, since they have the same number of teeth. The gear ratio of the gearing is 1:1.

The driving and driven wheels rotate in the same direction. The intermediate wheel rotates in the opposite direction.

Gear transmission is:

    Boosting

    lowering

    conical

    90 degree gear

    With gears, you can increase or decrease rotation speed

Increasing the rotation speed (overdrive gear)

Turn the lever one full turn and count how many times the position marker turns.

With one turn of the crank (large drive wheel), the smaller wheel turns five times. So in this mechanism the gear ratio is 1:5. This is an overdrive. With an increase in the gear ratio, the speed of rotation of the driven wheel increases, but the force produced by it decreases, that is, the ability to turn something.

Decrease rotation speed (reducing gear)

If you turn the crank (small drive wheel) five times, the large driven wheel will turn once. So in this mechanism the gear ratio is 5:1. This is a downshift. With a decrease in the gear ratio, the speed of rotation of the driven wheel decreases, but the force produced by it increases, that is, the ability to turn something.

    With gears, you can change the plane of rotation

Exampleconical gear transmission.

Two meshed bevel gears transmit modified speed and force at a 90 degree angle.

Rotation at an angle of 90.

An 8-tooth spur gear drive drives a 24-tooth driven gear.

Count how many times you need to turn the handle to make the position marker turn once.

Turning the crank three times (small drive wheel) rotates the ring gear once. The gear ratio of this mechanism is 3:1.

The plane of rotational motion changes by an angle of 90 degrees. The crown gear can change the plane of rotational motion because it has special curved teeth that allow it to engage at an angle to the drive wheel.

So, using a system of gears (gears), you can achieve a change in speed, direction or force. But here is howadvantages , andflaws . For example, you can't get both a strength increase and a speed increase at the same time.

    Consolidation of new knowledge in practice

    With the help of gears, you can make a wonderful toy that spins due to the gear, and is called the CAROUSEL.

    Physical education minute

Now we are ready to work with you. Let's start designing.

    Carousel Construction

    Do you like carousels?

    What do you like the most about them?

    What simple mechanism do you think makes the carousel spin?

    What parts do we need to assemble the carousel?

Let's build a carousel!

Assemble the A6 carousel model and make it rotate (the students and the teacher assemble the carousel model).

(This model uses two gears: 8-tooth spur gear and 24-tooth crown gear)

Slide 17

Assemble the A7 carousel model and make it rotate (the students and the teacher assemble the carousel model).

Determine the type of gears and count the number of teeth on each of them.

(This model uses four gears: two small 8-tooth spur gears, a 24-tooth crown gear, and a large 40-tooth spur gear)

Compare carousel models A6 and A7.

    Explain how the models differ.

    Which carousel do you think will spin faster? Why?

Conclusion:

The A7 carousel model spins faster because it uses a speed-up configuration with a 40-tooth drive gear and a 24-tooth driven gear.

    Practical work. Assembly of the model "Carousel".

Students assemble the structure according to the suggested assembly order.

Before starting the assembly, together with the teacher, determine the type of gears.

(This model uses four gears: two 24-tooth crown gears, one small 8-tooth gear, and one 12-tooth spur gear.)

    Reflection

What detail did we meet today?

How to make one gear spin another?

When will the carousel spin faster and when slower?

Did everything work out for you in class today? What didn't work? What were the difficulties?
