Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing baling presses with horizontal construction require significant functional surfaces and space for handling and emptying collection containers, leading to increased operational complexity and energy consumption, particularly due to high spatial height requirements for moving containers into and out of filling shafts.
Innovation Solution
A novel lifting/tipping device with a hydraulic drive and four-joint linkage mechanism that allows for efficient pivoting and lifting of collection containers, reducing the required spatial height and operational surfaces by enabling curved movement paths with varying radii, thus minimizing the construction height and cycle time for emptying and refilling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a collection container is lifted and pivoted into an emptying position using a lifting/tipping device, then the loose material can be emptied into the filling shaft, but the required spatial height and functional surfaces increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting/tipping device employs a curved movement path for the collection container instead of a straight vertical lift. The container follows an arc-shaped trajectory during lifting and pivoting, allowing the operation to be completed within a more compact vertical envelope and reducing the required spatial height while maintaining emptying efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The device combines vertical lifting with horizontal pivoting motion in a coordinated manner. By superimposing rotational movement onto the lifting trajectory, the system achieves the emptying function through a composite motion that utilizes both vertical and horizontal dimensions, thereby reducing the peak vertical height requirement
2Productivity
If the collection container is lifted high and pivoted for emptying, then the material can be emptied effectively, but the operational surfaces and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting and pivoting operations are merged into a single coordinated motion sequence. The lifting/tipping device performs both vertical elevation and rotational tilting simultaneously, allowing the collection container to be emptied through a combined movement that reduces the total functional surface area required compared to separate operations
Solution Approach 2:
The curved arc-path trajectory of the collection container allows the operation to be completed within a more compact footprint. The arc-shaped movement enables the container to sweep through the emptying motion in a space-efficient manner, reducing the functional surface area required for the operation
3Ease of operation
If a lifting/tipping device with large pivoting arc is used, then the container can be emptied effectively, but the construction height and cycle time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The curved arc-path movement allows the collection container to be emptied through a more direct and efficient trajectory. By following an optimized arc rather than a large circular path, the device achieves effective emptying with reduced movement duration, thereby decreasing the operational cycle time while maintaining ease of operation

AI summary
A lifting/tipping device for emptying a collection container into a filling shaft of a baling press has a horizontal construction, for compaction of loose material, particularly of cardboard or similar waste/packaging material, into bales. The collection container can be pivoted from a starting position into an emptying position via a special lifting/tipping device, so that then, the waste material falls out of the collection container and through the filling shaft into an ante-chamber of a pressing chamber, in front of a pressing organ of the baling press, under the force of gravity. Thereby this ante-chamber is filled for the pressing process. The collection container is positioned on the baling press in such a manner that the functional surface required in the baling press is utilized in multivalent manner, thereby reducing the total functional surface.
