    Study Notes

    Complex Machines

    • Complex machines are made up of two or more simple machines.
    • They simplify work by reducing the force needed and changing the direction of the force.

    Mortise Lock

    • A mortise lock is a complex machine consisting of multiple simple machines.
    • It is used to lock and unlock doors.
    • Different types exist, but they function similarly.
    • Banging the door can damage the lock.

    Sewing Machine

    • A sewing machine is a complex machine used to sew various items.
    • It can be powered by feet, hand, or electricity.
    • The treadle sewing machine operates with a treadle, pulley, and wheel and axle.
    • The treadle acts as a lever, transferring force from the foot to the pulley.
    • The pulley transmits power through a belt and gear system to rotate the machine.

    Bicycle

    • A bicycle is a complex machine that uses a system of simple machines, including levers, wheels, and axles, and a chain and sprockets.
    • The pedals act as levers, transferring force to the chain that drives the back wheel.
    • The wheels and axles facilitate movement.
    • The brakes are a type of lever used to stop the bike.

    Grain Milling Machine

    • A grain milling machine is a complex machine used to grind grains into flour.
    • It uses an inclined plane (hopper), a mill, and a flour outlet.
    • The mill is made of a wheel and axle that are rotated by a pulley.
    • The pulley works via a belt system, with a large wheel and a small wheel.
    • The machine should be maintained properly to ensure safety and longevity.

    Juice Making Machine

    • Juice making machines, like blenders and fruit squeezers, also qualify as complex machines.
    • They are used to process fruit, vegetables, or roots for juice.
    • The blender is a complex machine that involves multiple simple machines for grinding and blending.
    • Juice is obtained by grinding, squeezing, crushing, and filtering.
    • The blender is an example of a complex machine.

    Complex Machines

    • Complex machines are made up of two or more simple machines.
    • Complex machines are designed to simplify work by reducing the amount of force needed and by changing the direction of the force.

    Mortise Lock

    • A mortise lock is a complex machine with a key to lock and unlock a door.
    • Mortise locks can be different depending on the need.
    • Banging the door can break the lock after a short period of time.

    Sewing Machine

    • A sewing machine is used to sew various items, including clothes and bags.
    • Different sewing machines exist depending on their uses and energy sources.
    • Some sewing machines are run by feet, some by hand, and some by electricity.

    Treadle Sewing Machine

    • A treadle sewing machine is made up of three main parts: the treadle, pulley, and wheel and axle.
    • The treadle (lever) is the lower part that receives force from the feet.
    • The pulley has a band wheel connected by a belt to a hand wheel.
    • The pulley also has a large gear wheel connected to a small gear wheel by a chain.

    Bicycles

    • A bicycle has three main simple machine components: a lever, pulley, and wheel and axle.
    • The pedal and bicycle brake are examples of levers, while the chain connected to the gear wheels acts as a pulley.
    • When the pedal is rotated, it forces the large gear wheel causing the back wheel to rotate forward.

    Blender

    • A blender is made up of a wheel and axle mounted on a motor.
    • The motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
    • The axle rotates the blades like a fan.
    • When the blender is turned on, the motor rotates the axle and blades at high speed.

    Maintenance

    • Cleaning a blender involves wiping the base (containing the motor) with a cloth and soap, but avoid immersing it in water.
    • Other blender parts can be washed with soap and water.
    • The jug should be carefully cleaned due to the sharp blades and can be cleaned with a soft cloth and rinsed with water.
    • Ensure the blades are dry before putting them back in place.

    Complex Machines

    • Complex machines are made up of two or more simple machines.
    • They simplify work by reducing the force needed and changing the direction of the force.
    • Examples include mortise locks, sewing machines, bicycles, grain milling machines, and juice-making machines.

    Mortise Lock

    • The mortise lock has two main parts: the outer part with a handle and box, and the inner part with levers, latch spring, latch bolt, and deadbolt.
    • Turning the handle down pulls the latch bolt into the lock, opening the door.
    • The key has teeth that correspond to a specific lock, allowing the lever to move and release the deadbolt.

    Sewing Machine

    • The treadle sewing machine uses a treadle (lever), pulley, and wheel and axle system.
    • The treadle is pressed by foot, transferring force through the pulley to the wheel and axle.
    • To maintain the sewing machine, it should be covered with a clean cloth when not in use, threads should be stored carefully, and the machine needs to be lubricated with special oil.

    Bicycle

    • The bicycle uses levers, pulleys, and the wheel and axle system.
    • The wheel and axle are at the front and back wheels.

    Blender

    • The blender uses a motor to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
    • Cleaning the blender involves wiping the base with a cloth and soap, washing other parts with soap and water, and carefully cleaning the jug and blades.
    • Avoid immersing the motor base in water.

    Simple Machines

    • Levers, springs, screws, and wheels and axles are all simple machines.
    • A sewing machine is lubricated using special oil.

    Sewing Machine Maintenance

    • To make a sewing machine last longer, it is important to keep it clean, lubricate moving parts with special oil, cover it when not in use, and store threads carefully.

    Complex Machines

    • Complex machines are made up of more than one simple machine.
    • A mortise lock is not a simple machine.
    • Machines do not make work difficult.
    • The sewing machine is lubricated with special oil, not grease.
    • A hopper is a simple machine in a grain milling machine.

    Mortise Lock

    • The mortise lock is used to secure doors.
    • More levers in a mortise lock means greater security.
    • It is easier to duplicate keys for mortise locks with fewer levers.
    • To handle a mortise lock:
      • Remove screws carefully.
      • Do not disperse simple machines inside.
      • Observe the parts and draw a picture.
      • Insert the key, lock and unlock to observe movement.
      • Assemble the lock as it was before opening.
    • The mortise lock requires special care to last longer.
    • Most mortise locks are made of iron or copper.
    • Wipe the outer parts with a clean, dry cloth.
    • Lubricate moving parts with special oils.
    • Do not bang the door frequently.

    Treadle Sewing Machine

    • It is important to keep a sewing machine clean, dust free, and free of rust.
    • Cover the machine with a clean cloth when not in use.
    • Store threads carefully to prevent dust from entering the machine.
    • Lubricate the sewing machine with special oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.

    Bicycle

    • A bicycle is a complex machine made of levers, pulleys, and wheels and axles.
    • To handle a bicycle effectively:
      • Regularly inspect and repair the bicycle.
      • Maintain cleanliness by washing it with soap and water when dirty.
      • Lubricate rotating parts, like chains, wheels, axles, pedals, and ball bearings to reduce friction, rust, and corrosion.
      • Ensure the brakes are working properly.

    Grain Milling Machine

    • A grain milling machine is a complex machine used to grind grains into flour.
    • It is composed of simple machines including an inclined plane (hopper), a wheel and axle, and a pulley.
    • The wheel and axle in the mill is rotated by a pulley with a wide belt fastened to two wheels.

    Blender

    • A blender is a complex machine with a motor, wheel and axle, blades, a jug, a lid, and an electric plug.
    • The motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to rotate the axle, which in turn rotates the blades at high speed.
    • The blades grind fruits or vegetables to produce a thick liquid.
    • The liquid is mixed with water and then stirred and filtered to obtain juice.
