Rotating Lifting Frame for Underside Access to Disk-Shaped Bodies
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lifting devices are limited in their applications due to their design, which restricts flexibility in handling different bodies to be lifted and varying locations of use.
Innovation Solution
The lifting device incorporates a holding element with at least one rotatably mounted support element for disk-shaped bodies, allowing for rotation and adaptation of the lifted body's position, along with a drive device and a track-bound conveying means for enhanced mobility and accessibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the bearing plane of the holding element is positioned close to the base element, then the tilt angle can be kept smaller, but accessibility to the underside of the holding element is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a vertical dimension by spacing the bearing plane away from the base element, creating vertical clearance that enables accessibility to the underside of the holding element while maintaining an acceptable tilt angle through the spatial arrangement
2Reliability
If the holding element is designed with a passage opening, then the body can be surrounded and held securely, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The holding element with passage opening serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides secure surrounding holding of the body, allows passage of tools or components through the opening, and maintains structural integrity, thereby achieving multi-functionality without proportionally increasing complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If the lifting device is designed for fixed position, then structural simplicity is maintained, but flexibility in handling different bodies and locations is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates rotatably mounted support elements that enable dynamic adjustment and rotation of the held body, allowing the lifting device to adapt to different body positions and maintenance requirements while maintaining relatively simple structural components
