- Abstract
This article focuses on the synthesis of a steering mechanism that exactly meets the requirements of steering geometry. It starts from reviewing the four-bar linkage, then discusses the number of points that a common four-bar linkage could precisely trace at most. After pointing out the limits of a four-bar steering mechanism, this article investigates the turning geometry for steering wheels and proposes a steering mechanism using servo motors and ARDUINO board. The pitch curves, addendum curves, dedendum curves, tooth profiles and transition curves of the noncircular gears are formulated and designed. Finally, kinematic simulations are executed to demonstrate the target of design.
