Collar clamps & winch frame assembly
The Collar Clamps were a project assigned to me for the purpose of making the assembly of our team's UAV more flexible. I designed collar clamps to attach to the winch frame and slide up and down the UAV's boom to enable adjustments throughout assembly in case changes were needed.
Process
Process
Sketched model using description from team lead
Measured dimensions using final assembly
Modeled the clamp in SolidWorks
Used teammate's winch assembly to configure screw holes
Designed a mock aircraft frame to test clamp fitting
Toleranced all holes
Implemented fillets for structural support
Performed finite element analysis to find areas of most stress
Reiterated designs by changing sizing, fillets, and shape.
Scrapped idea for hose-clamps which were lighter, less complex, fits better
Initial sketch
Initial design
Revised design
Final design before scrap
