Study Notes

Complex Machines

Complex machines comprise two or more simple machines.
They work together to reduce force applied and alter its direction.
Examples: Mortise locks, sewing machines, bicycles, grain milling machines, and juice-making machines.

Mortise Lock

Has an outer part with a handle and a box covering the lock.
Inner part consists of levers, a latch spring, a latch bolt, and a deadbolt.
Levers provide security, more levers = higher security.

Sewing Machine

Treadle is the central component, activating the pulley system with two wheels.
Hand wheel rotates and drives the axle, moving the needle up and down.
Two threads are used: One from the needle, the other from the bobbin.
The needle pushes the thread through the fabric, catching the bobbin thread, and pulls it back up.

Blender

Cleaning depends on the blender type, check for specific instructions.
Base with the motor should not be immersed in water, clean with a cloth and soap.
Other parts can be washed with soap and water.
The jug with sharp blades should be cleaned carefully, using a soft cloth and rinsing with water. Ensure blades are dry before reassembly.

Sewing Machines

Sewing machines are complex machines consisting of more than one simple machine
Sewing machines are lubricated with special oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation
Using other oils on sewing machines is not advised
The third part of the treadle sewing machine is made up of an axle attached to the hand wheel
The treadle sewing machine uses a pulley system consisting of two wheels: a band wheel and a hand wheel
The hand wheel rotation causes the axle to rotate, raising and lowering the needle repeatedly
When the treadle is worked, the pulley system rotates, leading to the needle dropping and rising repeatedly
The sewing machine uses two threads: one from the needle and the other from the bobbin
To prevent dust and rust, sewing machines should be covered when not in use
Sewing machine threads should be stored carefully to prevent dust from entering the machine

Bicycles

Bicycles are complex machines
Bicycles are made up of three simple machines: levers, pulleys, and the wheel and axle
The front and back wheels of a bicycle are wheel and axle systems
The pulley system in a bicycle consists of a chain connecting a large gear wheel with pedals and a small gear wheel
The lever in a bicycle consists of two pedals and the bicycle brake
Rotating pedals sends force to the pulley, causing the large gear wheel to rotate
The chain connecting the large and small gear wheels drives the small gear wheel rotation
The small gear wheel rotation moves the bicycle forward

Grain Milling Machines

Grain milling machines use fuel or electricity
Fuel engine machines convert fuel energy into mechanical energy
Electrical motor machines convert electrical energy into mechanical energy
The large wheel in a grain milling machine is connected to the motor or engine
The small wheel in a grain milling machine is connected to the mill
The motor or engine rotates the axle, causing both wheels to rotate
The rotating large wheel drives the small wheel through a belt
The rotating small wheel grinds the grains
The mill is attached to a pipe that draws flour from the mill
A cloth is attached to the pipe to prevent flour from spreading
The grain milling machine is a complex machine with multiple simple machines, including an axle, the wheel and axle system, and a belt

Complex Machines

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

Mortise Locks

Composed of an outer part (lock handle and box) and an inner part
The inner part includes levers, a latch spring, a latch bolt, and a deadbolt.
The key has teeth that correspond to a specific lock.
When the key is inserted and rotated, the levers move and release space for the deadbolt to enter or exit the socket on the door casing.
The security of the mortise lock depends on the number of levers.
More levers provide increased security and make key duplication more difficult.

Grain Milling Machines

Consist of rotating parts that can cause a rise in temperature.
It is important to monitor the temperature and turn off the machine if it exceeds the classified limit.
The pulley belt should be properly tightened to ensure efficient operation.
Lubricants should be applied to rubbing parts and changed regularly.
Regular cleaning is essential for maintenance.

Juice Making Machines

Includes blenders and fruit squeezers.
Blenders are complex machines that consist of more than one simple machine.
Cleaning the blender depends on its type and specific instructions.
The base with the motor should not be immersed in water.
The jug and blades should be carefully cleaned to avoid injury.
The blades should be dry before being put back in place.
