2D MACHINE COMPONENTS DRAWINGS

 

CHAPTER ONE: THE 2D- BEGINNINGS


    At the foremost of my CAD drawing expedition, I started with getting my hands dirty with 2D orthographic machine-components section drawings. 2D drawings are plane views of objects. Rear, front, side and top elevations are the viewing perspectives of 2D drawings. None these views individually gives a full aspect of the object in question; but are imaginatively combined to make an isometric or 3D projection of the object.  For your 2D drawings, you will find AutoCAD your best companion. In fact AutoCAD is currently the best CAD software for making 2D sketches of any kind. Below are some dimensioned 2D section drawings I made with the software.  They are made from intricate combinations of basic 2D primitives such as lines, circles, arcs, rectangles, etc. Modifying tools such as fillet, extend, trim, mirror, offset, etc., are used to manipulate these primitives, to achieve desired drawings. 




















With time and more practice, I tried out 2D drawing of more complex real life objects like, a motorcycle and some basic engineering hand tools.

THE CENTRIFUGE DRIER

Image
 CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE CENTRIFUGE DRIER From our laboratory chemistry we all know what a centrifuge is and what it does, and how it does it. A centrifuge is a device in which a mixture of denser and lighter materials (normally dispersed in a liquid) is separated by being spun about a central axis AT HIGH SPEED. Yes! I had to capitalize that, for it is in its great rotary speed that the centrifuge achieves its primary task of separation.  In this particular machine, same high speec principle is used to dry, instead of separate. A typical real life application of this is our washing machine. During the drying stage of the laundry, the machine spins at very very great speeds, that throws out moist from the fabric. In the very same way, the machines dries inputs to it.  The machine full set up is not completed yet though.

FIBRE SEPARATOR

 CHAPTER TWELVE: THE FIBRE SEPARATOR This machine is yet another player in the family of Oil milling industry and machines. After the digester press is done extracting the pulp from the palm fruit, the by-product of the palm kernel and its fibres are next received by this machine. Like the name goes, the FIBRE SEPARATOR sifts the mixture of palm kernel and its fibres. The fibre chaffs drops down, through a hole under the machine, while the unshelled nuts comes out through the outlet in front of the machine.  See model views and dimensions.

THE FEED MILL EXTRUDER

Image
 CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE FEED MILL EXTRUDER The Feed mill Extruder is an agro-industrial machine for processing feed for livestock such as fishes and poultry. It uses multiple combination of electric motors that drives a screw conveyor, to press a feed mixture through a series of tiny perforations at the end of a heated and insulated drum. From the other end of the drum, a delicious, attractive strip of pasta (like your spaghetti), is forced out. After drying the pasta, it becomes hardened and crispy; it is then bagged and ready to be served to your livestock.  Facing/adjacent to the extrusion orifice of the drum is a smaller motor powering a rotary cutter that slices the extruded continuous strip of pasta as they form out of the chamber.  Enjoy the some of the views of this awesome industrial machine that I have drawn.  😀😀.
