AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The fork-shaped components of the existing loom clamp drive system are heavier in weight and have problems with unbalanced forces.

Method used

A fork-shaped element system is designed in which the second bearing seat is individually formed and fastened to the body, reducing the additional mass balance element, reducing the overall weight through the inclined coupling element centerline and hollow body design, and optimizing force transmission through precise positioning and multi-bearing structures to avoid unbalanced forces.

Benefits of technology

A lightweight fork-shaped component design is achieved while maintaining or increasing strength, reducing imbalance forces, and improving the efficiency and reliability of the drive system.
