Sliding Frame Mounting Framework for Vehicle Crane Bracing Arms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle crane systems face challenges in efficiently mounting and temporarily storing bracing arms on a telescoping jib, particularly due to the complexity and weight of the mounting frameworks required.
Innovation Solution
A simplified mounting framework with a single displaceable sliding frame is introduced, allowing for temporary storage and mounting of a single bracing arm at a time. This framework is designed to be lightweight and easy to use, with the sliding frame capable of linear displacement to facilitate the mounting process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a complex mounting framework with multiple sliding frames is used to store multiple bracing arms simultaneously, then the storage capacity and operational efficiency are improved, but the device complexity and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting framework is segmented into a base frame and separate sliding frames, allowing the sliding frames to be independently positioned and operated. This segmentation enables the framework to handle multiple bracing arms sequentially through a standardized interface, improving mounting efficiency without requiring a completely complex integrated structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding frame is designed as a universal component that can accommodate different bracing arms through a standardized receiving structure. The same sliding frame mechanism can be used for multiple bracing arms by simply changing the position or configuration, reducing the need for specialized structures for each bracing arm type.
2Strength
If a heavy-duty mounting framework is used to ensure stability and load-bearing capacity, then the strength and reliability are improved, but the weight and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting framework applies local quality by concentrating structural strength only where needed. The base frame provides robust support for the overall structure, while the sliding frames use optimized local geometries to bear the weight of individual bracing arms. This localized strengthening approach maintains necessary load-bearing capacity while minimizing unnecessary weight throughout the entire framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting framework utilizes composite construction combining different materials with complementary properties. The base frame may use heavier, more robust materials for maximum strength, while the sliding frames and auxiliary components use lighter materials to reduce overall weight. This composite approach allows the framework to achieve both strength and weight efficiency.
3Ease of manufacture
If a simplified mounting framework with single sliding frame is used to reduce complexity and weight, then the ease of manufacture and operation are improved, but the storage capacity and productivity worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding frame is designed as a dynamic component that can move between different positions to accommodate the mounting and storage of bracing arms. The dynamic positioning capability allows the single sliding frame to perform multiple functions sequentially, improving mounting throughput without requiring multiple static storage positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding frame acts as an intermediary mechanism between the base frame and the bracing arms. It provides a standardized interface that facilitates the mounting process, allowing bracing arms to be efficiently loaded and positioned. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall system while maintaining high productivity through standardized operations.
