Demolition Tool Frame With Integrated Rotator Components
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tools for crushing and cutting materials, such as concrete and iron sections, require multiple devices with interchangeable jaw sets and complex rotational mechanisms, which can be cumbersome and inefficient due to separate rotator components attached to mounting brackets.
Innovation Solution
A frame with an integrated bearing assembly and motor, allowing for rotation relative to a mounting bracket, where the rotator components are integrated into the frame, reducing weight and dimensions, and enabling easy assembly with different mounting brackets without disassembly of rotator parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate rotator components are attached to mounting brackets, then the frame can rotate relative to the machine arm, but the device complexity increases and assembly becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The motor and bearing assembly are integrated directly into the frame housing, merging previously separate rotator components with the frame structure. This eliminates the need for separate mounting brackets and rotator assemblies, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining rotation capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate rotator components are used, then rotation function is achieved, but weight and dimensions increase
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the motor and bearing assembly into the frame housing, the patent eliminates redundant structural components such as separate mounting brackets and rotator assemblies. This merging of functions reduces the overall weight of the moving frame while preserving the essential rotation function.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate rotator components are attached to mounting brackets, then rotation is enabled, but assembly and disassembly become time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The integration of motor and bearing assembly directly into the frame housing eliminates the need for separate mounting bracket attachments and disattachments. This streamlined design allows for faster assembly and interchangeability of jaw sets, significantly reducing the time lost during setup and configuration changes.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices with interchangeable jaw sets are used, then different materials can be processed, but the quantity of equipment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame with integrated rotator components is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate different jaw sets for processing various materials including concrete, scrap iron, and other materials. This multi-functional design allows a single frame structure to perform multiple crushing and cutting operations, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated devices.
