Research on Durable Strength of Qingdao Pulley Car

A pulley is a simple mechanical device consisting of a small wheel with a groove along its edge, which can rotate around a central axis. It typically works in conjunction with a flexible cable, such as a rope, belt, chain, or wire, that passes over the wheel. This basic mechanism is widely used to lift or move objects more efficiently by changing the direction of force or reducing the effort required. Pulleys are essentially modified levers and have been used for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese texts, such as *Mo Jing* from the Warring States period, mention the use of pulleys. There are two main types: fixed pulleys and movable pulleys. A fixed pulley is attached to a stationary point and does not move when force is applied. It acts like an equal-arm lever, meaning it doesn’t reduce the amount of force needed but allows the direction of the force to be changed, making it easier to apply in different directions. On the other hand, a movable pulley is attached to the object being lifted. It functions as an unequal-arm lever, where the effort arm is longer than the resistance arm. This design allows the user to lift heavier loads with less force—typically saving about half the effort—but at the cost of doubling the distance the rope must be pulled. For example, if the pulley moves up 1 meter, the free end of the rope must be pulled 2 meters. When multiple pulleys are combined, they form a pulley block or block and tackle system. This setup can significantly reduce the force needed to lift heavy objects while also allowing the direction of the force to be adjusted as needed. The efficiency of the system depends on how the rope is arranged and how many pulleys are used. Pulleys are essential tools in construction, sailing, and everyday tasks, offering both mechanical advantage and flexibility. They are often made from durable materials like metal or plastic and are designed to minimize friction and wear. Whether used individually or in combination, pulleys remain one of the most practical and enduring inventions in the field of simple machines.
