I am a mechanical designer, and some books are very useful for my work, but maybe you are still a student and it is boring to look at. I still suggest reading books about current industry trends first to increase interest in the industry. You can go to the library to look it up, similar to "Analysis of the Present Situation and Trend of Machinery Industry in 2002", and see if there are any in recent years.
There is a book that I think is particularly good, the third edition of the Atlas of Mechanical Design Curriculum Design (1989 edition), which is available in general school libraries. Buying an old one from the Internet plus freight costs more than ten yuan, and there are more than 100 drawings in it, involving a variety of reducer structures, which broadens the thinking for design work. Although I have studied mechanical drawing, not everyone can understand the real drawings inside, and I have also exercised my ability to read drawings.
There are also books on structural design (strength checking is rarely done at work), such as Atlas of Practical Institutions and Devices for Mechanical Design and Atlas of Reasonable Design of Mechanical Structure, which are simple and clear, and only 100 pages are very interesting.
At present, there are several books about 200 cases and 500 cases of mechanical design taboos in the bookstore. I think the sixth volume of Mechanical Design Atlas, Wrong Cases and Taboos of Mechanical Design, is not bad and useful. After reading the drawings, you can see which drawings were drawn by students and which drawings are really machinable.
There are many books about drawing software, and graphic drawing should at least be proficient in AutoCAD, CAXA electronic chart, 3D Pro/E, ug, soildwoeks, etc. And it's better to have one, as well as a series of mechanical analysis software CAE (which can improve the social status after work and is rarely needed in interviews). If you want to know more, you must read related books, drawing skills, commands and so on to understand the various functions of the software.
In addition, tolerance fit (or "interchangeability and measurement technology") is very important. In fact, anyone can draw, just to see who can draw better, which depends on tolerance. You just have to study hard at ordinary times.
There are many electronic PDF formats on the Internet, such as complete sets of mechanical design manuals and mechanical design atlas, which can save a lot of money. But PDF is better than a book.
Electronic control is also very useful in this regard. After learning, you will have a broader train of thought. Now I pay attention to the design of mechatronics, and I haven't studied it yet.
That's all I can think of at present. Learn slowly. Doing mechanical work is a work that accumulates over time. Just graduated for half a year, I hate myself for wasting a few years and admire my thoughtful friends. You can talk about QQ5538 12839 if you have any questions.
If you are a mechanical designer with a monthly income of tens of thousands, give it a try.
Seeking adoption is a satisfactory answer.
