Dynamometer Bed Segmentation for Rapid Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dynamometer devices require a high number of steps and time for disassembly and reassembly due to the individual removal of components from the tank bed, complicating maintenance processes.
Innovation Solution
A dynamometer device design featuring a flat first bed integrated with a dynamometer and a flat second bed on a tank, allowing for easy removal and reassembly by fixing the beds to each other, reducing the complexity of disassembly and assembly processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If components are individually attached to the bed on the tank top, then each component can be independently positioned and secured, but the number of disassembly steps and time required for maintenance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into two main detachable units: the tank with its bed and the dynamometer with its bed. This segmentation allows the dynamometer assembly to be easily separated from the tank as a single unit, reducing the number of disassembly steps while maintaining the ability to independently position and secure components during operation
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamometer and its bed are merged into a single integrated assembly that can be collectively attached to and detached from the tank bed. This merging reduces the number of individual attachment operations required, thereby decreasing disassembly time and simplifying maintenance procedures
2Ease of repair
If multiple components are individually attached to the bed, then each component can be independently maintained, but the complexity of the disassembly process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into two main segments (tank assembly and dynamometer assembly) that can be easily separated. This segmentation simplifies the overall disassembly process into a single primary operation, reducing process complexity while still allowing for independent maintenance of the dynamometer components after separation
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system employs dynamic, reversible connections that can be quickly engaged and disengaged. This allows the system to transition between a integrated state during operation and a separated state during maintenance, making the disassembly process simpler and more adaptable to maintenance needs

AI summary
A dynamometer (5) in a dynamometer device (1) is assembled on the top of a dynamometer-side bed (6), and the dynamometer-side bed (6) is removably attached to a tank-side bed (15) located on the top part of a bed tank (3). Consequently, at the time of the disassembling of the dynamometer device (1) for maintenance or the like, it is possible to easily separate a dynamo body (4) and the bed tank (3) from one another by simply taking down the dynamometer-side bed (6) from the tank-side bed (15).
