TS Transmission Mechanism (TM) - Transition of the Trolley Between Bay 2 and Bay 1

Trolley transition between Bay 2 and Bay 1 is described here by a sequence of states and events.

State 6: Empty trolley is in transit between Bay 2 and Bay 1

B2: (Bay 2 states)

• The operator withdraws the two plate pins
• The operator withdraws the left and right dish pins (2 pins). The buffer springs expand upwards pushing the plate and the dish up. The rack attached underneath the dish travels upwards as well. The pinion then rotates thus activating the belt-pulley mechanism. The wheel on the ground starts turning and the trolley moves.
• The trolley travels from Bay 2 to Bay 1 (state 6)
• The trolley arrives at Bay 1 (state 7)
• The operator engages the two dish pins followed by the two plate pins
• The trolley is secured at rest at Bay 1. (state 1)
