Dust Collection Bucket Quick-Lock Frame for Single-Operator Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional dust suction systems require multiple persons for assembly and disassembly of the dust collection bucket, necessitating system downtime during bucket replacement.
Innovation Solution
A dust suction system with assembly jaws on a load bearing frame allowing single-person disassembly and assembly of the dust collection bucket.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the dust collection bucket is designed with a secure connection structure, then the reliability of the connection is improved, but the ease of operation for single-person assembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly jaw is designed as a movable component that can dynamically change its position between a first position (for easy insertion) and a second position (for secure connection). The jaw rotates about a rotation axis, transitioning from an open state during insertion to a closed state for secure connection, thus achieving both ease of operation and connection reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The assembly jaw automatically transitions from the first position to the second position through the insertion action itself. When the dust collection bucket is inserted, the assembly jaw is pushed by the bucket's outer surface and automatically rotates to the second position, securing the connection without requiring additional manual operations. This self-securing mechanism maintains reliability while simplifying operation
2Productivity
If the dust collection bucket has a large volume, then the productivity is improved by reducing replacement frequency, but the ease of operation for single-person handling deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly jaw provides a dynamic securing mechanism that allows a single operator to easily attach and detach the large-volume dust collection bucket. The movable jaw design enables one-person operation despite the bucket's size and weight, maintaining both productivity and handling ease

AI summary
A dust suction system (100) comprises a cyclonic dust filter component (20), a dust collection bucket (30) and a load bearing frame (10). The dust collection bucket (30) comprises an assembly rib (33), the load bearing frame (10) comprises a frame (11) and a support plate (12) disposed on the frame (11), and the support plate (12) comprises a through hole (123) disposed corresponding to a dust exhausting port (215), and at least two assembly jaws (124) located at two opposite sides of the through hole (123). Each of the assembly jaws (124) comprises a connecting section, an extending section connecting the connecting section, and a limiting section connecting the extending section. The limiting section comprises a limiting protrusion disposed towards a direction of the through hole (123). When the two assembly jaws (124) are not forced, movement of the assembly rib (33) is restricted by the limiting section, so that the dust collection bucket (30) is fixed on the frame (11).
