Description:
We are looking for an alternative mechanism to the threaded design of the outer blue shell of cartridges for a big blue water filtration system. In other words, a simpler, leakproof way of attaching the big blue outer cartridge shell to the system (image of the system is attached) that would be smaller or the same size as the threaded mechanism. Would not be opposed to a completely different and novel approach of attaching casings to the system as well (for example changing the outer cartridge shapes or having some sort of slide mechanism of attachment). The goal is to make it better for the user than what it is now
Wants:
The mechanism will be evaluated on:Ease of use in comparison to the threaded design of the current system
Cost (should not be expensive to produce - 10/20% price increase in comparison to the threaded design)
Reliability
Size - should be smaller or at least the same size as the current set up. Ideally with the new mechanism the gaps between filters can be decreased.
Don't Wants:
The goal is to make it better than what it currently is while keeping in mind the evaluation criteria

Hello, you can get more good ideas if we can get your rating
Good
Hello, please rate my design 6, and advise for any changes to enhance
@shubhankart
Standard threads require a tool for the casing to be taken off, plus it takes sometime put back on and twist.

Can you share what are some problems you face with the standard threaded fitting system

Hello.
What are the dimensions and thread dimension of the big blue outer cartridge shell? Not the filter.
Thanks.

Height, diameter of the filter that the blue cartridge is covering/packing:
Outer height is 49.5 cm, with a bump height around 11.5 mm
Ordermost diameter is 120 mm on the lid
Inner diameter inner height:
Cartridge inner height 48.3 cm
Cartridge inner diameter around 110 mm
Weight: about 1.8 kg
Current thread size:
about 4 cm for total thread height
@alexz5, feel free to submit your ideas.

Hi ! mayby, I have very god solution for Your problem.
Can you share some dimensions? I.e. height, diameter of the filter that the blue cartridge is covering/packing. Inner diameter inner height. Current thread size and current design weight?

Dual-Directional Locking mechanism for precision motion control
--Short Summary--
Design and model an addition of a secondary dual-directional locking mechanism for maintaining a platform’s slope angle in an event of a high spike/impact load of a minimum 40Nm in a miniature space. (Length: 90mm, Width: 33mm, Height 40mm).
--Detailed Description--
The goal of this design is to maintain a platform at a user-defined slope angle given random and frequent scheduled loads/disturbances. The current design includes a worm gear set to provide some degree of holding torque (for example 2Nm) which is sufficient for loads such as a person standing on one end of the platform. However, in cases of high impact load such as a person jumping on the tip of the platform, a secondary mechanical locking mechanism (both directions) is required to prevent the platform from moving. Note that the space constraint will likely be the main challenge for this project.
The task is to add the mechanism to the existing model while staying within the given space (box). The strict dimensions of the enclosure box including the current BOM items are:
-Length: 90mm
-Width: 33mm
-Height 40mm
We currently have a working version that uses a secondary motor to engage and disengage a custom dog-clutch-like mechanism. However, due to the high added cost and space, we would like to further explore a purely mechanical design. That being said, we are open to ideas that use minimal power (100-200mA at 5V or 50-100mA at 12V), are very compact and reliable, and are cost efficient.
Please note that the user in our experiment will frequently signal the platform, that will signal the motor to precisely change the platform’s slope angle. Therefore, the dual-directional locking mechanism should not interfere with the motor’s operation when there isn’t an overload. This means the mechanism should either:
1) Stay disengaged on idle mode and only engage when a load higher than ~2Nm is experienced/detected
2) Stay engaged on idle mode and immediately (i.e. milliseconds) disengage when the motor starts rotating
Other innovative ideas that would achieve the goal are more than welcome.
Feel free to add components such as gears, clutches, shafts, linkages, torque limiters, brakes, springs, pawl sets, etc., or other parts/mechanism that you see fit while staying within the enclosure space and minimizing cost. You may also add features (extrude, cut, etc.) to the interior of the enclosure box and make reasonable modifications to the existing shafts and gears (e.g. remove the hub from the gear if you have to).
Preference will be given to off-the-shelf torque rated components that are compiled with other parts to achieve the dual-directional locking, rather than multiple complex custom-made parts.
Please provide a 3D model of your concept with an explanation of how the design functions to meet the project’s goal. Also, include the names of the additional components used in the model.
SolidWorks is preferred but it is okay to use another software given a clear presentation of the concept.
Mechanical interactions for modern day console joystick
I'm in need of a skilled mechanical professional to assist with the physical creation of a prototype.
The end result can be crude (as crude as a wire on a pulley or wheel, some gears, 3d printed ... so long as its functional.
I want to mechanically interact with a hand held joystick controller from a modern day gaming console (PS5,) Where you finger would pull the right trigger, I'd want to be able to use a 1/4 hand throttle to actuate the trigger, where you left finger would pull the trigger I want to be able to use a brake level ( bicycle/ motorcycle style), and where you left thumb would move the joystick controller- I' want a left /right leaning motion of a motorcycle to do that - I have an old arcade with a sit on motorcycle (that has a brake throttle and it leans left and right, and I would like to manually connect it to a modern day console controller so my movements and action on the arcade motorcycle - (twisting the throtle, pulling the brake or leaning left or right sends the physical equivalent inputs to a PS% controller. It does not have to anything fancy AI or robotic simple wires or 3d printed gizmos are fine.
If you have a creative mind and a knack for problem-solving, I would love to hear from you.
Gas Piping C.I.
Need a 3D design for a natural gas piping job to be done according to ASME or CODETI. The basic design with connections exist, now we need to do the detailed design with 3D shop drawings. Job Involves around 700m of 1 to 8 in. steel pipes. Need to design the supports too with supporting calculations
Product Concept Design and Model Development
This is a start-up and I'm looking for a mechanical engineer with electrical background. I need some help drafting the design and building the model of the design. I also have novel approaches to couple products and need some assistance in developing them.
