Mobility is an extremely important property of amechanism. Among other facets, itgives insight into the number of actuators required to operate a mechanism. However, to obtain correct results, special care must be taken in using the Gruebler's equation. Some specialconditions are presented next.1 |6 F2 ~/ R8 A4 |* J

Some mechanisms have three links that are all connected at a common pin joint, as shown in Figure 1.28. This situation brings some confusion to kinematic modeling. Physically, one pin may be used to connect all three links. However, by definition, a pin joint connects two links." Y D& y9 c, p
同一销钉连接三个杆件的情况,需要算作两个销钉。因为按照定义,一个销钉连接两个杆件。

Of course, this suggests that the mechanism is locked. However, if all pivoted links were the same size, and the distance between thejoints on the frame and coupler were identical, this mechanism would be capable of motion, with one degree of freedom. The center link is redundant, and because it is identical in length to the other two links attached to the frame, it does not alter the action of the linkage.: Y+ ]7 Z k9 ]+ @+ }) @4 k

In some mechanisms, links exhibit motion which does not influence the input and output relationship of the mechanism. These idle degrees of freedom present another situation where Gruebler's equation givesmisleading results. An example is a cam with a roller follower as shown in Figure 1.32. Gruebler's equationspecifies two degrees of freedom (4 links, 3 pins, 1 higher-order joint). With an actuated cam rotation, the pivoted link oscillates while the roller follower rotates about its center. Yet, only the motion of the pivoted link serves as the output of the mechanism. The roller rotation is an idle degree of freedom and not intended to affect the output motion of the mechanism. It is a design feature which reduces friction and wear on the surface of the cam. While Gruebler's equation specifies that a cam mechanism with a roller follower has a mobility of two, the designer is typically only interested in a single degree of freedom. Several other mechanisms contain similar idle degrees of freedom.
