Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional deboning machines face difficulties in establishing and maintaining an acceptable working space between the auger and the interior surface of the separation chamber, which affects the efficiency and consistency of meat and bone separation.
Innovation Solution
The deboning machine incorporates a housing with a passageway and ports for expelling meat and bone, where the separation chamber is mounted and rotated relative to the stationary auger, utilizing a camming action to create a controlled spacing between the auger and the separation chamber, allowing for accurate and controllable processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional deboning machines use a fixed auger and separation chamber configuration, then the structure is simple, but the working space between the auger and separation chamber cannot be precisely controlled or maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the separation chamber rotatable relative to the auger through an engagement structure with camming action. This allows the spacing between the auger and separation chamber to be dynamically adjusted and precisely controlled during operation, transforming a static configuration into a dynamic one that can adapt to maintain optimal working space.
Solution Approach 2:
The engagement structure acts as an intermediary mechanism between the auger and separation chamber. It uses camming action to mediate the spatial relationship between these two components, enabling precise control of the working space without requiring direct complex coupling between the auger and separation chamber themselves.
