This picture was modeled with SolidWorks2015 and rendered with KeyShot 8.
Part 1: Base
Part two: connecting rod
Part three: connecting rod two
Part four: connecting rod three
Part 5: Top cover
Assembly
1. Create a new assembly, insert the base and the green link.
2. Add a coincident mate with the rounded edges of the two holes.
3. Insert the yellow link, or the sidelines coincide.
4. Red connecting rod, coincident fit, coaxial fit.
5. Insert the top cover and add two rounded edges to coincide.
6. Add advanced angle fit to the two faces of the top cover and bottom shell, the maximum is 75 degrees, and the minimum is 0 degrees.
7. Add several standard parts.
Motion Study
8. Add a rotary motor, distance: 75 degrees, duration: 2 seconds.
9. Add another reverse rotation motor, distance: 75 degrees, starting from 2 seconds, lasting 2 seconds
10. First motor, right click at 2 seconds-turn off. Drag the second motor to the 2 second position.
11. Play.
12. Done.
