Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing movable processing devices for mineral materials, such as shredding systems, face challenges in compact transportation due to large dimensions and high maintenance costs, with add-on components like conveyor belts experiencing stress and requiring dismantling for transport.
Innovation Solution
A movable processing device with a device frame and carrier device featuring two separate articulation points for support elements, allowing for a rotating and sliding movement of add-on components, which can be pivoted relative to the device frame for efficient, space-saving transport and enhanced stability during use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If add-on components are pivotally connected at a single bearing point to enable transport positioning, then the processing device can be moved more compactly, but the add-on components are exposed to increased stress and damage risk
Solution Approach 1:
The add-on component is divided into two separate pivotable connections (first bearing point and second bearing point) instead of a single pivot point. This segmentation distributes the mechanical stress across multiple points and prevents concentration of forces at one location, thereby reducing damage risk while maintaining compact transport positioning capability
Solution Approach 2:
The dual bearing point connection acts as a protective measure against overload stress before damage occurs. By providing redundant pivot points, the system creates a buffer against excessive forces that could damage the add-on component, effectively cushioning against potential failures
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple drives and tilting points are used to tilt the add-on component, then the add-on component can be adapted to different application areas, but points of attack for damage are created and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The dual bearing point connection serves multiple functions simultaneously: it enables pivoting for transport positioning, provides stress distribution for durability, and allows adaptation to different application areas. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate mechanisms for each purpose, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the transport positioning function with the adaptability function into a single dual bearing point connection system. Instead of having separate drives and tilting points for different functions, the same connection structure accomplishes both transport compactness and application adaptability, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity
3Device complexity
If simple pivoting at a single bearing point is used, then the device structure is simpler, but the reduction in size for transport is insufficient for larger shredding plants
Solution Approach 1:
The invention transitions from single-point pivoting to two-point pivoting, adding an additional spatial dimension to the connection geometry. This dimensional change enables more effective size reduction during transport by allowing the add-on component to pivot into a more compact configuration relative to the device frame, while the added complexity remains manageable
