Modular Extrusion Pump Stand With Vertical Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing movable stands for extrusion pumps with gearboxes and drives require individual manufacturing for each installation situation and type of extrusion pump, gearbox, and drive, leading to complexity and high inventory needs.
Innovation Solution
A modular design where the carrying body is detachably connected to the stand platform and vertically adjustable, allowing for different orientations and telescopic housing to accommodate various extrusion pumps and gearboxes, enabling a single stand to fit multiple installation scenarios.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a movable stand is manufactured individually for each installation situation and type of extrusion pump, gearbox, and drive, then the stand can be precisely adapted to specific requirements, but the manufacturing complexity and inventory requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The movable stand is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate different types of extrusion pumps, gearboxes, and drives through standardized mounting interfaces. The carrying body features adjustable support elements and modular components that can be configured for various installation situations without requiring custom manufacturing for each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand is divided into modular components including a base platform, vertical carriers, and a carrying body with detachable connections. This segmentation allows individual components to be adjusted or replaced independently, enabling adaptation to different installation requirements while maintaining a standardized overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple specialized stand designs are kept in stock to cover all installation situations, then any specific installation requirement can be met, but inventory management becomes complex and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single universal stand design replaces the need for multiple specialized stand models. The stand incorporates adjustable features such as variable-height carriers, reconfigurable mounting positions, and adaptable support structures that can be adjusted to meet diverse installation requirements, eliminating the need to maintain inventory of multiple stand types.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the carrying body is fixed in position relative to the stand platform, then the structure is simpler and more stable, but it cannot be adapted to different height requirements and installation situations
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying body is designed with vertical adjustability through telescopic carriers with locking mechanisms. This allows the carrying body to be positioned at different heights relative to the stand platform according to specific installation requirements, transforming the structure from static to dynamically adjustable while maintaining stability through proper locking and support mechanisms.

AI summary
The invention relates to a movable stand (16) for an extrusion pump (10) that has a drive (14) and a transmission (12), the stand comprising a horizontal stand platform (18, 20, 70), which has wheels (22), and comprising at least one carrier (32, 34), which extends vertically with respect to the stand platform (18, 20, 70) and is connected to a carrying body (40), wherein the carrying body (40) comprises: a support (50) for the extrusion pump (10) and a fine vertical adjustment device (48) for the support (50); a carrying wall (54), on which the unit consisting of the transmission (12) and drive (14) of the extrusion pump (10) is fastened; and a housing (60), which surrounds a shaft (58) connecting the transmission (12) to the extrusion pump (10). The invention is characterised in that the carrying body (40) as a whole is detachably connected to the stand platform (18, 20, 70) only via the carrier (32, 34) and can be vertically adjusted with respect to the stand platform (18, 20, 70), in particular with respect to the carrier (32, 34).
