Reverse Enginnering Report

This reverse engineering report summarizes the analysis of a tulip bulb door knob. It includes visual analysis of the knob from different angles, noting its symmetrical design. It also describes the functional locking mechanism that prevents intruders from entering. The report identifies 10 main parts, provides a structural analysis of how the parts interact, and analyzes the materials used. It describes how deadbolts and lock cylinders work and concludes with suggestions to integrate fingerprint identification into the door knob handle for improved security.

FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
THIS PRODUCT HAS A SYSTEMATIC LOCKMECHANISM SPECIFICAYY DESIGNED FOR THE
PREVENTION OF PENETRATING INTRUDERS INTO A RESTRICTED AREA.THE TURN LOCK
COMPONENT ALLOWS THE LOCKING OF THE DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR WITHOUT THE
REQUIREMENT OF A KEY.THE KEY DESIGNATION HOLE ALLOWS THE LOCKING OF THE
DOOR WITHOUT BEING IN THE INTERIOR, BUT THIS METHOD REQUIRES A KEY THAT WILL
FIT THE DESIGNATED HOLE.
OPERATING SYSTEM EDUCATED GUESS: THE INSIDE OF THE LOCK KNOB CONTAINS A SET OF
SPRING AND PINS FOUND IN A CYLINDER. WHEN THE DOORKNOB IS UNLOCKED, THE
CYLINDER IS RELEASED FROM ITS CASING AND ALLOWS THE KNOB TO ROTATE. WHEN THE
KNOB IS LOCKED, PINS COME OUT AND KEEP THE CYLINDER FROM ROTATING. THIS KEEPS
THE DOORKNOB FROM ROTATING.

MATERIAL ANALYSIS AND


MANUFACURING ANALYSIS
DEADBOLT

THE DEADBOLT WAS CREATED AS A MEANS OF PROTECTION FOR A PERSONS HOME AND
FAMILY. IT WAS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE SPRING BOLT LOCK BECAUSE A SPRING INSIDE
OF THE BOLT ONLY NEEDED PRESSURE TO OPEN.THE SURFACE MONTED DEADBOLTS HAD A
BOLT THAT SLID OUT WHEN THE KEY TURNED.THE INTERNAL DEADBOLT IS A BOLT THAT
COMES OUT AND GETS PUSHED IN TO THE JAMB (HOLE) IN THE DOOR AND CAN ONLY
COME OUT BY ROTATING THE KNOB.

LOCK CYLINDER
THE LOCK CYLINDER IS A METAL CYLINDER ATTACHED TO A PART CALLED A CAN, THAT
ROTATES WITH THE CYLINDER.THE CAM HOLDS THE PINS AND SPRINGS, AND THE PINS
ARE FOUND IN VARYING LENGHTS. IF THERE IS NO KEY IN THE HOLE, THE KNOB WILL NOT
TURN BECAUSE THE PINS ARE STICKING OUT OF THE CYLINDER, THUS STOPPING THE
CYLINDER FROM ROTATING.IF THE CORRECT KEY GOES IN PLACE, THE PINS WILL RETRACT
AND ALLOW THE CYLINDER TO ROTATE FREELY SINCE THERE ARE NO PINS STICKING OUT .

WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE RESEARCH:

I LEARNED HOW THE PINS KEPT THE CYLINDER FROM ROTATING.I ALSO LEARNED THAT
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEADBOLT LOCKS THAT WORK IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
ONE OF THEM SLIDES OUT AS A REAL BOLT, WHILE THE OTHER IS A BOLT THAT IS FORCED
IN TO THE JAMB AND CAN COME OUT BECAUSE OF THE BOLTS SHAPE.THE PINS OF THE
CYLINDER ARE OF VARYING LENGHTS TO HAVE A UNIQUE KEY THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO
RETRACT THE PINS AND ROTATE THE CYLINDER.

PRODUCT CHANGE AND


IMPROVEMENT
AS I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE THE COMMON DOOR KNOB, I HAD DIFFICULTY
THINKING.IT WAS DIFFICULT TO COME UP WITH AN IMPROVEMENT NO COMPANY HAS
DONE ALREADY. INVENTORS HAVE MADE CONCEALED SCREWS, BREAK-PROOF DOOR
KNOBS, RUST-PROOF DOOR KNOBS, AND ELECTRONIC BUTTON LOCKS. SOME HAVE EVEN
COME UP WITH A DOOR KNOB THAT CAN BE OPENED WITH A SMART PHONE.I WAS
LOOKING AT OTHER ADVANCED DOOR KNOBS WITH A TOUCHSCREEN PAD WITH
FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION.THESE REQUIRE THE ACTUAL FINGER ON THE PAD, AND
LATER YOU CAN OPEN IT WITH THE HANDLE.THIS WOULD BE EASIER IF THE HANDKE
ITSELF WAS THE FINGERPRINT INDENTIFICATION WAS ON THE DOOR KNOB HANDLE. THIS
WOULD SAVE TIME AND WOULD PROVIDE MORE SECURITY BY NOT REVEALING HOW TO
GET ACCESS TO OPEN THE DOOR.THIS HANDLE WOULD ALSO HAVE HEAT DETECTION TO
MAKE SURE IT IS A LIVING HUMAN.
