The Research And Design Of The Finger Jointing Cutter Parametric Design Systerm Based On Pro/TOOLKIT

The finger jointing cutter is the special tool which is used to machining the finger jointing wood.The quality of finger jointing cutters is relative to the wood products.Designing finger jointing cutters depends on 2D design,which can't satisfy the request of consumers.Pro/ENGINEER is one of the widest soft wares using in mechanics.And it provides several methods to designing the cutter,for example,Family Table,Pro/Programe,J-Link,Pro/TOOLKIT and so on.The thesis analyzed the methods provided by Pro/ENGINEER and introduced the realization of the finger jointing cutter parametric design system and the rationale and the key technologies.Basing on the Windows XP system,it discussed the process of development of the finger jointing cutter parametric design system,using Pro/TOOLKIT and Visual C++6.0 programme tool.Lots of cutter companies accumulate a plenty of gold experience and data.We can put these data into the finger jointing cutter design process,then rely to the main menu and bomb menu of Pro/ENGINEER system.The system dissertated that the process of the automatic parts model on the similar series finger jointing cutter and the assembling process of the knockdown and the assembly finger jointing cutters.The differences are in the part of angles,distance between two teeth,or the number of sword pieces in the same series cutters and so on.So,we can use the parametric design method to design the finger jointing cutters.At the same time,the system realized to modeling the accessory and the standard.The system provided proof-test and checkout to the design parameter in the design process.It avoided disobeying the design rules and the GB,etc.This system realized managing the cutter parameters by database.At the same time,according to the requirement of the designers,it can add and amend the data in the database.Through the special link,It made the designers,consumers,companies and the outside communicate with each other more conveniently.It provided intercourse about the special knowledge on the finger jointing cutter between the designers and helped consumers to communicate with the designers.The system can model to three different kinds of finger jointing cutter.It also can assemble the knockdown and the assembly cutters by themselves and avoid intervening between the components,according to the constraint and the correlation function provided by Pro/TOOLKIT.It predigested the repeating work in assembling,and helped to shorting the design cycle,improving the design efficiency.
