Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a horizontally-arranged oscillating conveying surface with multiple movement means is used to convey bulk materials in different directions, then the bulk materials can be distributed in an orderly and individual manner, but the device becomes relatively elaborate in handling and less effective in conveying capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the essential function of material distribution from the complex oscillating conveying system. Instead of using a horizontally-arranged oscillating conveying surface with multiple movement means, the patent uses a simple plate element that is moved vertically by pulse generators. This extracts only the necessary vertical lifting action needed to separate and distribute bulk materials, eliminating the elaborate horizontal oscillation mechanisms while maintaining effective distribution capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical oscillating conveying system with an electromagnetic pulse generation system. Instead of mechanically oscillating the plate in horizontal directions, the patent uses electromagnetic pulse generators to create vertical pulse movements of the plate element. This substitution of mechanical oscillation with electromagnetic pulsing simplifies the device structure while improving conveying capacity and maintaining orderly material distribution.
2Manufacturing precision
If a horizontally-arranged oscillating conveying surface is used with programmable oscillating movements, then bulk materials can be conveyed and positioned individually, but the device structure becomes elaborate and handling complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the essential positioning function from the complex oscillating conveying system. Instead of implementing a horizontally-arranged oscillating surface with programmable movements in multiple directions, the patent uses a simple plate element with vertical pulse movements. The positioning precision is achieved through controlled vertical pulsing that lifts materials to specific heights, eliminating the need for complex horizontal oscillation mechanisms while maintaining individual material positioning capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the programmable mechanical oscillation system with an electromagnetic pulse control system. Instead of mechanically programming complex oscillating movements, the patent uses electronic pulse generators that can be precisely controlled to create vertical movements of the plate element. This electromagnetic substitution simplifies the mechanical structure dramatically while maintaining or improving positioning precision through electronic control of pulse timing and amplitude.
3Productivity
If the plate element is moved up and down by at least one pulse to lift bulk materials rapidly, then the handling efficiency and conveying capacity are improved, but the device requires an electromagnetically operating adjustment mechanism with electronic control
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces what would traditionally be a mechanical drive system with an electromagnetic pulse generation system. The electromagnetically operating adjustment mechanism uses electronic pulse generators to create vertical movements of the plate element, substituting complex mechanical transmission components with electromagnetic actuation. This substitution improves handling efficiency through rapid pulse-driven movements while the electronic control system provides precise timing and amplitude control without requiring elaborate mechanical linkages.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses periodic pulse movements to lift and lower the plate element rapidly. Instead of continuous mechanical driving, the system applies periodic electromagnetic pulses that create the necessary vertical motion. This periodic action allows the plate to be moved up and down quickly and efficiently, improving handling capacity while the pulsed nature of the operation simplifies the control mechanism compared to continuous mechanical drive systems.

AI summary
According to one method, bulk materials are conveyed in a metered quantity on at least one plate element and are lifted up from the plate element in order to organize the bulk materials by a movement oriented approximately perpendicularly to the plate element. The plate element is moved up and down at least transversely to the plate element support surface by at least one pulse, preferably two successive pulses, such that the bulk materials located on the plate element are lifted up from the plate element for a short time during each pulse, thus allowing an efficient and highly productive conveyance of the bulk materials.
