Screen Attachment System for Mobile Mineral Processing Plants
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Attaching different screen models to mobile mineral material processing plants is time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the need for specific mounting work, and existing solutions do not efficiently facilitate the switching of screen modules to adapt to variations in input mineral materials or required screening products.
Innovation Solution
A screen attachment system featuring an elongated coupling base with adaptable first and second adapters that allow detachable attachment to the processing plant, enabling lateral movement for coupling and automatic locking, along with a screen module ground support for stable placement without additional equipment, facilitating the attachment of various screen sizes and models without compromising the plant's frame strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional mounting methods are used to attach different screen models to mobile mineral material processing plants, then secure attachment is achieved, but the attachment process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling base is divided into multiple adapters (first adapter for screen module attachment, second adapter for plant frame attachment) that can be independently configured and assembled. This segmentation allows rapid assembly without complex mounting operations while maintaining secure attachment through dedicated connection interfaces for each segment.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling base is designed as a universal attachment structure that can accommodate different screen models and plant frame configurations through standardized adapter interfaces. The same coupling base can be used across various screen module types and plant models, eliminating the need for model-specific mounting procedures and reducing attachment time while ensuring reliable connection.
2Reliability
If specific mounting work is performed for each screen model, then proper alignment and secure attachment are achieved, but the process requires plenty of time and manual labor
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling base incorporates self-aligning features and automatic locking mechanisms that enable the attachment structure to self-adjust and secure itself without requiring precise manual alignment or extensive mounting operations. The adapters are designed to automatically position themselves correctly when brought into engagement, reducing the skill level and time required for installation while maintaining attachment reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The adapters serve as intermediary components between the screen module and plant frame, providing a standardized interface that simplifies the attachment process. Rather than directly mounting each screen model to the plant frame requiring specific work, the adapters mediate the connection, enabling rapid attachment while ensuring proper alignment and secure connection through their designed interfaces.
3Adaptability or versatility
If different screen models are attached to the same plant, then adaptability to different mineral materials is achieved, but the attachment process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling base is designed as a universal platform that can attach to different screen models through standardized adapter interfaces. The same coupling base structure serves multiple functions by accommodating various screen module types, maintaining plant adaptability while simplifying the attachment system through standardization rather than requiring complex model-specific mounting procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system incorporates detachable and reconfigurable adapters that can be quickly swapped or adjusted to accommodate different screen models. This dynamic capability allows the same coupling base to adapt to various screen configurations without requiring permanent modifications or complex assembly procedures, enabling easy reconfiguration for different mineral material processing needs.

AI summary
A mobile mineral material processing plant is adaptively coupled to a screen module using an elongated coupling base that has first and second adapters to respectively detachably attach together a screen module, one or more exit conveyors and to detachably attach the screen module and the one or more exit conveyors to the plant. The first adapter pivotably couples to the plant on laterally moving the plant to engage with a first connector of the first adapter. The second adapter allows an actuator to lift the screen module with the coupling base so that the screen module pivots from ground about the pivotable coupling to an inclined operating configuration. The coupling base is angled to horizontally align a reject conveyor in the inclined operating configuration.
