Loading/Unloading TRIZ Cases

A dock leveler bascule bridge pivots vertically to extend the loading platform while a support bearing anchors the structure.

A silo unloading system adjusts feeder speeds using downstream flow measurements to match desired rates.

A flexible curtain shield anchors to a translating dock leveler lip, sealing the pit area against energy losses and condensation.

Axial undercuts on detachable adjusting rings compensate for manufacturing tolerances to eliminate gaps and ensure tight sealing between coupled devices.

Angled reinforcing side sections join mid and end segments to resist fracture at stress zones while reducing material usage.

An upper supporting part projects to incline the load, preventing rear surface damage during conveyor withdrawal.

A sliding bumper assembly uses a biasing mechanism to maintain longitudinal contact with trailers.

Segmented gangways and self-closing gates reposition along tracks to resolve the trade-off between platform stability and adaptation time.

A hydraulic locking system secures a movable buffer holder at desired positions through fluid pressure control.

Angled diverting sections on sweep paddles redirect particles inward, reducing material loss at the outboard edge without adding mechanical complexity.

A supply system determines feeder cartridge run-out times to proactively deliver replacement components before depletion.

Dynamic rod movement within an opening allows operators to maintain an upright posture while lowering the plate, resolving ergonomic strain.

A movable conveyor track with a pivotable lifting device automates transport container placement on commercial vehicles.

Steel shell protects rubber core from deterioration while cavities absorb stress to extend service life.

Pneumatically actuated rollers on a tiered rack enable bulk cargo transfer into railcars, eliminating forklift damage risks while maximizing space utilization.

A modular loading dock uses a hydraulically adjustable ramp section to match vehicle deck heights for safe foot traffic.

An electro-hydraulic control system extends the telescoping lip to prevent damage and ensure safety during end loading operations.

A loading device positions sacks on transport vehicles using a pivoting acceleration conveyor and movable dispensing end.

A dock ramp assembly uses a retractable bumper to clear the path for an actable lower seal that extends against vehicle undercarriages.

Segmented floor inserts guide parcels onto a moving base belt, preventing items from falling into lower side corners during automated unloading.
