Embodiment Design - Coggle Diagram

- - - - 1.Create a schematic diagram
        
        List all components involved
        
        Connect elements to indicate flow of force or energy (thin line) and signals (dashed line)
      - 2.Cluster the elements of the schematic
        
        Divide into groups of elements
      - 3.Create a rough geometric layout
        
        Arrange components positions regarding its size and space availability
        
        Consider any thermal and electrical interferences
        
        Do some sketches until get the final components layout
      - 4.Identify the interactions between modules
        
        Water in at the top and water out located at the bottom.
        Use gravity for water filtering and assist pump to flush water
        
        Motor, drum pulley and pump are near to each other.
        Easier to transfer rotation to drum pulley and pump using belt
        
        Put electrical supply and control panel at the top.
        Prevent short-circuit in case the drum and piping leaked unexpectedly
    - - Fully Automatic Washing Machine
  - - - Material selection – Do the material able to withstand the forces?
      - Manufacture method – How to manufacture the component? Time required? Cost?
      - Function – Are the shapes able to execute the function properly?
    - - Machined from a solid block
      - Bracket welded from three pieces
      - Cast bracket
      - Bent from a flat plate
    - - Refining – making an object less abstract and have more detailed descriptions
      - Patching – Modification/improvement without changing its function
    - - Rough sketch => 3D Modelling => Detailed drawing
    - - Special-purposed part – Part that is designed and manufactured for specific purposes.
      - Standard assembly – Assembly of parts that has generic function
      - Standard part – Part that has generic function, manufactured routinely, readily available
      - Subassembly – Assembly that is included in other assembly
      - Component – Object that has no assembly operations in its manufacture
  - - - –Less play or chance for vibration in moving parts
        –High manufacturing cost
    - - –Low manufacturing cost
        –Easier to assemble the components
        –Poorer system performance
    - - Understand the design problem
        
        Find alternative design
        
        Analyze & evaluate
        
        Refine & Optimize
- - - - -It is less expensive to recycle some material than it is to pay the expense of processing new raw materials
        -Especially for the product that it is easily disassembled into components made of single material
        .
    - - – Government regulation is forcing attention on the
        environment
        .
    - - – Consumers are increasingly more environmentally conscious and aware of the value of recycling
        –Thus, company that produce the product that affect the environment, are looked down by the public
        .
