Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing active chassis systems face challenges in adapting to varying construction space requirements due to the spatial constraints of the motor-pump group and load integration.
Innovation Solution
A hydraulic system with a motor-pump group and load that includes a pump casing with integrated fluid interfaces and mounting sections, allowing for direct or remote attachment of loads via O-rings, coupling adapters, or fluid lines, ensuring minimal resistance and flexibility in installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the motor-pump group and load are integrated in spatial proximity, then the system efficiency is improved, but the adaptability to different construction space requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The pump casing is divided into functionally independent sections: a mounting section for attaching the load and a fluid interface section for hydraulic connections. This segmentation allows the load to be positioned close to the motor-pump group for efficiency while the fluid interface can be oriented and positioned optimally for different installation spaces, thus resolving the contradiction between spatial proximity and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting section is designed with universal characteristics to accommodate different load types and configurations. The fluid interface is configured to provide multiple connection options (direct coupling, remote mounting via fluid lines) making the system adaptable to various construction space requirements while maintaining efficient hydraulic connection, thereby achieving both system efficiency and spatial adaptability.
2Reliability
If the load is mounted directly on the pump casing, then the hydraulic connection is optimized, but the installation flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fluid interface acts as an intermediary element between the motor-pump group and the load. It provides standardized coupling points that enable reliable hydraulic connections when the load is mounted directly, while also serving as attachment points for remote mounting configurations via fluid lines, thus maintaining connection reliability across different installation scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system design allows dynamic selection of mounting configurations. The mounting section and fluid interface are designed to accommodate both fixed direct-mounting arrangements for optimized hydraulic connection and flexible remote-mounting arrangements via fluid lines, enabling the system to adapt its configuration based on installation requirements while maintaining reliable hydraulic functionality.
