ABSTRACT

The main aim of this report is to design and construct an excellent steering system demonstrator which provide efficient understanding of the system which helps both the teachers and the student to learn the practical knowledge. This construction was provided to simplify the way of understanding how the components are connected to each other in the system and display the system being working on the vehicle. And also identify the working principle of each and every component in the system.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The steering used in this construction are different system that accompanied together to provide a teaching aid in our workshop it helps to conduct practical activities.

Steering system; the most conventional steering arrangement is to turn the front wheels using a hand operated steering wheel which is positioned in the front of the driver, via the steering column, which may contain universal joint. The steering system convert the rotation of the steering wheel into a swiveling movement of the road wheel in such a way that the steering wheel rim turn a long way to move the road wheel a short way. The system allows a driver t0 use only light force to steer a heavy car.

The steering system converts the rotation of the steering wheel into a swiveling movement of the road wheels in such a way that the steering-wheel rim turns a long way to move the road wheels a short way. The system allows a driver to use only light forces to steer a heavy car.

Efficient steering plays an importance part in the safe handling of the vehicle and before considering the construction of this assembly it will be as well to enumerate the desirable features. All vehicle uses front wheel steering, such as cars, light and heavy duty vehicles the driver is to be at the front cabin and irrespective of the engine position. The front wheel should able to point the direction for free rolling in any direction. The path of all the wheels must be parallel. There are some vehicle such as fork lift and dump truck, which are steered via their rear wheels. The front wheels of the vehicle, which are mostly main source of controlling the car, can be connected by means of a suitable linkage from the steering wheel to the steering arms on each stub axles. The steering box mounted on the chassis or frame encloses the mechanical component that transmits the control from the steering wheel to the drop arm.

Each stub axle has a lever or arm attached to it and the front axle frame.

1.2    STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Due to the hardship during conducting practical activities on these systems, Both student and the teacher found it difficult to identify most of the components on teaching and learning of how the steering system works, Because most of the components are hidden under the vehicle body and chassis, so this project constructed as teaching aid to help and guide both student and teacher for easy understanding of the parts and working principle of all the system practically in physical appearances.

1.3    AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

1.3.1 AIMS: the aim of this project is to design and construct an excellent steering system demonstrator, that provide basic understanding of the system which helps and ease both the teacher and the student to the knowledge practically (physically).

1.3.2 OBJECTIVES: the main objectives of this project are derived from the following consideration:

•      To show how the system works in the vehicle.

•      To identify the working principle of each and every component in the system.

•      To show how component are connected to each other in the system.

•      To provide simplicity in understanding the concept of all the system during conducting practical activities for both the learner and teacher.

1.4    SCOPE AND LIMITATION

1.4.1 SCOPE: the scope and the nature of this project are centered toward the construction of front suspension and steering systems for practical demonstration that will help the teacher and the student to get the knowledge physically.

1.4.2 LIMITATION; this project is limited on Steering system.

1.5 METHODOLY; The method for conducting this project is basically classified into two

✔      Primary data collection; this involve site visit, conducting case study and related literature review from existing construction of similar function and uses.

✔      Secondary data collection; this involve the use of the project construction components and materials used, working principles, construction process, assembling and test running.
