INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
This part is introduction and background will explain about background of project, objectives, problem statement, scope of project.
i. Project Title
Car Jack with pneumatic system.
ii. Abstract
The students design a new model car jack with pneumatic system. Pneumatic system is a power transmission system that uses the force of flowing gases to transmit power. A problem statement about car jack is a lot of people need an ergonomics design to reduce musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders can affect the body’s muscles, joints, tendond, ligament, and nerves. Such as the discs in back bones. The scope of the project is the students have to design a car jack with the ergonomics design based on the human body. There are three main parts of the product. The first parts is spiral balloon. The second part is one way control valve. The third part is hose lock.
iii. Keyword
Carjack, ergonomics, design, pneumatic system, human body.
iv. Background of Project
The project is an assignment of the Industrial Design and Ergonomics. Based on the ergomics and human function, the student must design a car jack with ergonomics to help human. In this time, car jack help people to change tire. But a lot of the car jack, use a lot of energy from operator the car jack. So, we design a new model car jack with pneumatic system. Pneumatic system is a power transmission system that uses the force of flowing gases to transmit power. So, we don’t use a lot of energy to lift the car. There are three main parts of the product. The first parts is spiral balloon. It is a part to lift the car and then the operator can change the tire. The spiral balloon can expand can expand because the force from gases. The second part is one way control valve. The function of a one way control valve is prevented air loss if you decide to turn off your vehicle. Another function is maked gases can’t go out from balloon. The third part is hose
