Truss Hydraulic Bolt Lifter Detachable Power Source

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional truss-like hydraulic lifting apparatuses with plugs are inconvenient to disassemble for maintenance, making them difficult to inspect and repair, and are susceptible to external damage, which shortens their service life and increases maintenance costs.

Innovation Solution

A detachable mechanism is introduced, allowing the power source device to be easily mounted and dismounted from the pile reinforcing frame, featuring a base plate with a protective cap and plug or tenon-mortise structure for secure and protective detachment, enabling convenient maintenance and sharing of components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the power source device is fixedly mounted in the conventional plug-type lifting apparatus, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of maintenance and disassembly deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The lifting apparatus is divided into modular components: the pile reinforcing frame, the truss structure, and the power source device. The power source device can be detached from the pile reinforcing frame through a designed detachment mechanism, allowing it to be separated into independent segments for maintenance while maintaining structural integrity during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic detachable connection. The power source device can be easily mounted and dismounted from the pile reinforcing frame through the detachment mechanism, enabling flexible maintenance operations while ensuring structural stability during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If the power source device is fixedly mounted, then the structural stability is improved, but the susceptibility to external damage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the lifting apparatus into separable components, the power source device can be removed from the pile reinforcing frame when not in use, protecting it from external damage such as corrosion from seawater or impact from falling objects, while maintaining structural stability during operation through the detachment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The power source device can be extracted from the pile reinforcing frame through the detachment mechanism, allowing it to be removed and stored separately. This extraction protects the power source device from external harmful factors like seawater corrosion and physical impact, while the pile reinforcing frame remains structurally stable without it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of repair

If the power source device is detachably mounted, then the ease of maintenance is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable mechanism divides the lifting apparatus into modular segments (pile reinforcing frame, power source device, truss structure), each with standardized connection interfaces. This segmentation simplifies maintenance by allowing easy separation of components while managing complexity through standardized, reusable connection designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detachment mechanism uses universal connection interfaces that can be used for both securing the power source device during operation and releasing it for maintenance. The same mechanism provides both structural stability and ease of maintenance, reducing overall device complexity compared to having separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Productivity

If the power source device is kept on site, then the productivity is improved, but the loss of time for maintenance increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the lifting apparatus, the power source device can be quickly detached from the pile reinforcing frame and removed from site. This enables rapid maintenance operations without requiring prolonged downtime, as the device can be separated, serviced, and reinstalled efficiently through the standardized detachment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detachment mechanism is pre-designed and pre-positioned, allowing the power source device to be quickly removed and replaced. This preliminary preparation of the mounting structure enables rapid maintenance operations, minimizing the time loss while maintaining high productivity during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
