ADD DOOR INFORMATION

Summary

The push mechanism rod to activate the deploy switch will go through the foot of the -z panel, and the switch itself will be above the -z panel next to the payload. The switch will either have to be mounted to the rails or the bottom of paymech’s bracket. There will be a board attached the switch to connect to the rest of the power system.
There are two types of ways to activate the switch which we are modelling
- The rod will press the deploy switch directly (see Design 1)
- The rod will transfer its vertical motion to the horizontal motion of another rod which will press the deploy switch (Design 3)
We need to model both designs to optimize volume (can it fit within the rails, -z panel, payload, accuracy in pressing the switch, and durability
We will simulate the forces applied to the switch in Ansys and potentially have a physical model as well

Tasks

The Fusion Teams “deploy_switch_assembly” file can be used (@Sakeena Qureshi to add)

[ ] Go through deploy switch PDF and take out all relevant requirements/dimensions
- [ ] Especially for how the switch should be pressed
[ ] Model a simple version of the switch in SolidWorks (it says 3D model not available in Digikey) using the drawing in Switch section
[ ] Find out where board is attached to the switch
[ ] Design #1 @Alex Yuchen Huang
- [ ] Make a hole for the rod in one of the -z panel feet
- [ ] Find a location to attach the switch to the rails (it’s ok if mounting hole isn’t there yet - we will add one)
- [ ] Model a rod to go through the foot and press the switch lever
[ ] Design #3 @gauri karajagi
- [ ] Make a hole for the rod in one of the -z panel feet
- [ ] Find a location to attach the switch to the bottom of the lowest paymech bracket in the assembly
- [ ] Design a mechanism connecting two rods like the picture in Design #3: One of the rods should come out of the the -z panel vertically, the other should press the switch horizontally.
