Pivotable Noise Encapsulation for Mobile Crushers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile crushers and screens face challenges in noise dampening and dust reduction, particularly in urban areas, where traditional solutions require multiple hatches to be removed or dismantled for maintenance, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs due to separate transportation and assembly of noise encapsulation components.
Innovation Solution
A mobile processing device with a pivotable noise encapsulation attached to the frame, comprising two cover elements that can be opened for maintenance and closed for noise reduction, allowing for quick access to machinery while ensuring effective noise and dust encapsulation, and enabling transportation and deployment of the device with the encapsulation already mounted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional noise encapsulation solutions are used with multiple hatches, then noise dampening is achieved, but maintenance access becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The noise encapsulation is divided into two main cover elements that can be independently opened. This segmentation allows maintenance personnel to access specific areas of the machinery without removing the entire encapsulation, thus maintaining noise dampening while simplifying maintenance access.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover elements are designed to be pivotable between open and closed positions, transforming the static encapsulation into a dynamic structure. This allows the encapsulation to adapt between two states: closed for noise reduction during operation, and open for maintenance access when needed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If noise encapsulation is transported separately and assembled in situ, then noise dampening is achieved, but deployment time and resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The noise encapsulation is merged with the mobile processing device as an integrated component. The encapsulation is transported and deployed together with the main device, eliminating the need for separate transportation and assembly operations, thus reducing deployment time and resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The noise encapsulation is pre-assembled and ready for immediate deployment alongside the mobile processing device. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for on-site assembly operations, allowing the device to be deployed fully functional from the outset.
3Ease of repair
If multiple hatches are removed for maintenance, then access to machinery is provided, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The encapsulation structure is segmented into two main cover elements rather than multiple separate hatches. This reduced segmentation maintains manageable complexity while providing sufficient access points for maintenance personnel to reach the machinery effectively.

AI summary
The invention concerns a mobile processing device having a material processing unit, such as a mobile crusher having a crusher unit or a mobile screen having a material screening unit. The mobile processing device comprises a power unit, a frame and a noise encapsulation for the material processing unit. The noise encapsulation is attached to the frame and comprises two cover elements, each of which is pivotable between an open position providing access to the crusher unit and a closed position wherein the cover elements can be interconnected to create an encapsulation for the material processing unit.
