Immersion Pump Removable Barrier Transverse Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic immersion pumps require the removal of multiple components to access and replace wear-prone parts, leading to increased repair times and risks of installation errors, while additional maintenance access solutions compromise the IP68 protection and stability.
Innovation Solution
An electronic immersion pump design featuring a removable barrier in the upper compartment for transverse access to components, with sealing mechanisms to maintain IP68 protection and self-extinguishing insulation, allowing for quick replacement of wear-prone components without disturbing other parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If components are arranged one above the other in the upper compartment to save space, then the pump maintains compact size, but maintenance becomes complex requiring removal of multiple components
Solution Approach 1:
The upper compartment is divided into multiple accessible compartments separated by removable barriers. Each compartment can be accessed independently by removing its specific barrier, allowing maintenance of individual components without removing other components from the pump assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of arranging components vertically one above the other, the invention creates horizontal accessibility by adding removable barriers that allow access to components from the side. This transforms the maintenance approach from vertical disassembly to horizontal access.
2Ease of repair
If additional access openings are created in the upper compartment for easier maintenance, then maintenance accessibility improves, but IP68 protection is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The upper compartment is segmented into multiple sealed sections by removable barriers. Each barrier acts as a seal that can be removed for maintenance and reinstalled to restore the IP68 protection, allowing temporary access without permanent compromise to the protection rating.
Solution Approach 2:
The barriers are designed to be removable and re installable, transforming the static sealed structure into a dynamic one that can adapt between protected and accessible states. The sealing members maintain the protected state during operation and allow controlled access during maintenance.
3Ease of repair
If a special compartment is created outside the cable and eyebolt area for easier component access, then maintenance accessibility improves, but pump stability is compromised due to center of gravity shift
Solution Approach 1:
The upper compartment is divided into multiple sealed sections by removable barriers. Each barrier acts as a seal that can be removed for maintenance and reinstalled to restore the IP68 protection, allowing temporary access without permanent compromise to the protection rating.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of arranging components vertically one above the other, the invention creates horizontal accessibility by adding removable barriers that allow access to components from the side. This transforms the maintenance approach from vertical disassembly to horizontal access.
