Solution Overview

Problem

Existing crusher buckets face issues with frame deformation and load resistance during material crushing, requiring reinforcement to prevent deterioration and optimizing space for sensitive components.

Innovation Solution

A crusher bucket design featuring a frame with reinforcement plates, a motor housing, and adjustable jaw distance for crushing, along with a movement device for the movable jaw, enhancing rigidity and load distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the frame is reinforced to withstand crushing loads, then the strength and durability improve, but the internal space for sensitive components decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe strengthVSAvoidinternal space
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is divided into multiple sections with strategically placed reinforcement plates at high-stress areas (front and rear portions) rather than uniformly reinforcing the entire structure. This segmentation allows strength enhancement where needed while preserving internal space in other regions for component mounting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of uniform reinforcement, the patent applies localized reinforcement plates at specific positions (front and rear portions of the frame) where crushing loads are most intense. This local quality approach provides maximum strength enhancement with minimum impact on internal space availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Strength

If reinforcement plates are added to the frame, then the load resistance improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveload resistanceVSAvoidframe structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement system is segmented into discrete, modular plates that can be independently manufactured and installed at specific locations. This segmentation simplifies the overall design by breaking down a complex reinforcement problem into manageable, standardized components rather than requiring a completely custom reinforced structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite construction by combining the existing frame material with reinforcement plates of appropriate material properties. This composite approach allows the frame to maintain its original design simplicity while gaining enhanced strength through the addition of strategically placed reinforcement elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A crusher bucket (1) comprises a frame (2) in which there are defined a material inlet (7) and a material outlet (8) and a material flow direction (F) from the inlet (7) to the outlet (8), crushing elements (10, 11) comprising a movable jaw (10) and a fixed jaw (11) which are received in the frame (2), a motor which can actuate the crushing elements (10, 11), and a housing in which the motor is at least partially received. The housing is laterally defined by opposite side walls (3) of the frame and is further delimited by a lower wall (58) which faces the movable jaw (10) and by an upper wall which are opposite each other and which extend between the side walls (3) of the frame.
