Counterweight-Integrated Lamp Module for Easier Wheel Loader Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wheel loader lamps face challenges in securing space for installation, leading to reduced workability and increased assembly complexity, resulting in poor assemblability and higher part counts.
Innovation Solution
A lamp module integrally assembled with a counterweight, featuring a lamp irradiation part with directional lighting capabilities and a support bracket molded with the counterweight, reducing external exposure and simplifying installation while enhancing visibility and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the lamp is installed separately on the wheel loader, then the lamp can be independently positioned, but the workability is reduced and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp module is integrated with the counterweight as a unified structure, where the lamp housing forms part of the counterweight assembly. This merging eliminates the need for separate lamp installation procedures and reduces the number of discrete components, directly improving workability and reducing assembly complexity
2Device complexity
If the lamp module is integrally assembled with the counterweight, then the number of parts is reduced and assembly is simplified, but the space requirement inside the counterweight must be accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp module is nested within the counterweight structure, utilizing the internal cavity space of the counterweight to house the lamp components. This nesting approach allows the lamp module to be accommodated within the existing counterweight volume without requiring additional external space, while still achieving integration and part reduction
