Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shock-absorbing platforms for balancing machines are insufficient in isolating machines from environmental and ground vibrations, leading to suboptimal balancing results without clear identification of the cause.
Innovation Solution
A shock-absorbing platform with a base, working plate, rigid intermediate structure, and elastomeric shock-absorbing elements, along with a counterweight, designed to provide enhanced vibration isolation by connecting the machine to the ground through a releasable mechanism, optimizing the balance measurement process.

1Object-affected harmful factors
If larger shock absorbers of different materials and many types of counterweights are used, then shock absorption is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The platform is divided into multiple independent components: a base structure, a working plate, and multiple elastomeric shock-absorbing elements positioned at different locations. This segmentation allows each element to independently absorb vibrations from different directions, achieving effective isolation without requiring a single complex shock absorption system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material parameter by using elastomeric materials with specific viscoelastic properties that provide both cushioning and damping. The shock-absorbing elements are designed with optimized geometric parameters (dimensions, positioning) to achieve maximum vibration isolation effectiveness while maintaining platform stability.
2Measurement precision
If more shock-absorbing elements are added, then vibration isolation is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple shock-absorbing elements are used with identical elastomeric material composition and uniform geometric dimensions. This homogeneity simplifies manufacturing by allowing mass production of standardized components, while the multiplicity of elements collectively provides enhanced vibration isolation to protect the sensitivity of imbalance measurements.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The platform significantly reduces vibration measurement deviations by approximately ten times, achieving better isolation and accuracy in imbalance measurements while being simple and cost-effective.
Implementation Method 1
elastomeric shock-absorbing elements which connect the structure and the platform. Said elastomeric shock-absorbing elements thus mechanically isolate the upper support, on which the balancing machine is supported, from the ground
Implementation Method 2
shock-absorbing elements connecting the intermediate structure to the base and to the working plate
