Solution Overview

Problem

Existing brick pushing devices have low efficiency due to the need for frequent resets and a long cycle, resulting in a low frequency and quantity of bricks pushed in a single operation.

Innovation Solution

A brick pushing device comprising a first and second brick pushing component, equipped with an adjusting motor, adjusting base, and limit block, which allows for synchronized and accurate pushing of bricks by constraining the swing angle range of the first swing arm, thereby increasing the frequency and quantity of bricks pushed in a single operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single brick pushing component is used, then the structure is simple, but the productivity is low due to frequent resets and long cycle time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrick pushing frequency and quantityVSAvoidnumber of pushing components
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The brick pushing device is divided into multiple independent pushing components (first brick pushing component and second brick pushing component), each capable of pushing bricks independently. This segmentation allows parallel operation and increases the quantity of bricks pushed in a single operation, directly addressing the low productivity issue while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple brick pushing components are combined into a single integrated device with shared control systems and coordinate control mechanisms. The first and second brick pushing components work together under unified control, merging their capabilities to push multiple bricks simultaneously, thereby increasing productivity without proportionally increasing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If multiple brick pushing components are added to increase productivity, then the brick pushing frequency increases, but the control precision and synchronization accuracy become difficult to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of bricks pushed at onceVSAvoidsynchronization accuracy of brick pushing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The control system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the position and movement of each brick pushing component in real-time. This feedback allows the control system to adjust and coordinate the first and second brick pushing components, ensuring synchronized operation and precise brick placement while maintaining high productivity through multiple pushing components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The control system performs preliminary coordination and positioning of multiple brick pushing components before the actual brick pushing operation. This preliminary action ensures that all components are properly aligned and synchronized, preventing positioning errors and ensuring accurate brick placement while enabling multiple bricks to be pushed simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A brick pushing device includes: a first brick pushing component, on which an adjusting motor and an adjusting base being arranged, a limit block being provided on the adjusting base, the adjusting base being slidably connected on the first brick pushing component, the adjusting motor being fixedly mounted on the first brick pushing component, a driving shaft of the adjusting motor being drivingly connected on the adjusting base; and a second brick pushing component, the second brick pushing component being arranged opposite to the first brick pushing component and moving synchronously with the first brick pushing component in the same brick pushing transport direction. The adjusting motor drives the adjusting base to slide to adjust a position of the limit block and constrain a swing angle range of a first swing arm of the first brick pushing component, so that the first brick pushing component cooperates with the second brick pushing component to push a brick body synchronously and accurately, and it ensures the accuracy of a brick pushing process.
