Vehicle Crane Mounting Framework for Bracing Arm Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle crane systems face challenges in efficiently mounting and temporarily storing bracing apparatuses on telescoping jibs, particularly in optimizing the use of space and simplifying the mounting process.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle crane system with a mounting framework that includes displaceable sliding frames, allowing for optimized temporary storage and mounting of bracing apparatuses. The mounting framework is positioned behind the lower carriage of the vehicle crane and secured via lugs or brackets, enabling efficient storage and mounting operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If bracing arms are mounted on the same mounting and transport framework for transport and preparation, then transport efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the mounting process increases due to the need to move frame parts between narrow transport position and wide mounting position
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting framework incorporates displaceable sliding frames that can move between a retracted receiving position and an extended lowering position. This dynamic configuration allows the framework to adapt its width, enabling it to transport bracing arms in a compact form while facilitating easy mounting by extending to provide adequate working space for the telescoping jib to pass through.
2Area of stationary object
If the mounting framework is positioned behind the lower carriage and secured via lugs or brackets, then space utilization is optimized, but the structural complexity of the mounting framework increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting framework is positioned behind the lower carriage in the longitudinal direction, utilizing the available space in this dimension. By arranging the framework completely behind the lower carriage and securing it at the front or rear, the design optimizes space utilization without interfering with the operational space required for the telescoping jib and bracing arms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a displaceable sliding frame is used for temporary storage of a single bracing arm, then storage flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting framework is divided into a base frame and one or more displaceable sliding frames. Each sliding frame can be independently displaced between a retracted receiving position and an extended lowering position. This segmentation allows each sliding frame to be optimized for storing a single bracing arm, providing storage flexibility while keeping each individual sliding frame mechanism relatively simple.
