Step1According to Table 1, the mechanism is in the constrained singular configuration at step 1.

Step2In step 2, Table 1 shows that the mechanism is in a structurally singular state.

Step3In the process of step 3 to step 4, the singular configurations shown in Table 1 do not appear.

Step4In the process of step 4 to step 5, Table 1 show that the mechanism is in the structure singular configuration and constrained singular configuration.

Step5According to Table 1, the mechanism is in the constrained singular configuration in step 5.
