Pallet-Support Deburring Table for Chip Containment and Suction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional deburring work and chip cleaning processes are inefficient and hazardous due to chip scattering, which can lead to occupational accidents and environmental contamination, especially when handling large workpieces, as existing chip collection work tables are limited in size and weight capacity, requiring separate handling and additional machinery for large workpieces.
Innovation Solution
A dust collection deburring apparatus comprising a work table with a rotating and liftable surface, surrounded by a chip antiscattering apparatus with a partition wall and blower device, and a chip suction collection system that allows large workpieces with pallets to be handled using a forklift, preventing chip scattering and facilitating efficient deburring and chip collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a conventional chip collection work table is used, then chip scattering is prevented for small workpieces, but large workpieces cannot be handled due to weight and size limits
Solution Approach 1:
The work table is designed with a pallet support function, allowing it to handle both small workpieces directly and large workpieces on pallets. The table structure includes a pallet support surface that can accommodate pallets of various sizes, making the same work table universally applicable to different workpiece sizes and weights without requiring separate handling equipment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a forklift is used to place large workpieces on the work table, then large workpieces can be handled, but the work table must be designed to accept pallets with proper support structures
Solution Approach 1:
The work table structure is segmented into functional zones: a pallet support surface for receiving pallets, a chip pan area for chip collection, and a working surface for deburring operations. This segmentation allows the table to independently handle different aspects of the process (pallet support, chip collection, workpiece processing) without requiring complex integrated mechanisms for each function.
3Reliability
If chip collection is implemented during deburring, then occupational safety is improved, but additional apparatus for chip suction and collection is required
Solution Approach 1:
The chip collection system is merged with the work table structure itself. The chip pan is integrated into the work table, and the dust collecting device is positioned to work in conjunction with the enclosed working space. This merging eliminates the need for separate, standalone chip collection equipment while maintaining effective chip suction and collection functionality.
4Ease of operation
If the work table is designed to accommodate pallets, then forklift delivery is enabled, but the table structure requires additional support mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The pallet support structure is designed to be self-adjusting and self-supporting. The pallet support surface automatically adapts to different pallet configurations without requiring active control mechanisms or additional support structures. The table structure itself provides the necessary support through its rigid framework and distributed load-bearing design, eliminating the need for complex active pallet positioning mechanisms.
