Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying excitation parameters (amplitude, frequency, vibration direction angle) and structural parameters (screen surface inclination angle, screen mesh shape) to find optimal combinations that simultaneously reduce screen surface dynamic load and maintain high screening efficiency. This is achieved through response surface methodology and multi-objective optimization to determine the best parameter settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamics by introducing a dynamic load reduction factor that accounts for the dynamic characteristics of the screen surface under operating conditions. The optimization model dynamically adjusts parameters to minimize the dynamic load on the screen surface while maintaining screening performance, rather than using static design approaches.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the problematic auxiliary beam structure from the design and instead focuses on optimizing the excitation parameters and screen surface characteristics. By removing the auxiliary beam and adjusting operational parameters, the patent achieves stress reduction without the negative side effects of increased impact corrosion and forces on supporting structures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical reinforcement approach (adding auxiliary beams) with a parametric optimization approach. Instead of adding structural elements, the patent substitutes mechanical design with optimization of operational parameters (amplitude, frequency, inclination angle) to achieve the same stress reduction effect without the harmful side effects.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic load as a key consideration in the optimization process by incorporating the dynamic load reduction factor. This transforms the optimization from a static efficiency-focused approach to a dynamic multi-objective approach that simultaneously considers screening efficiency and dynamic load reduction, preventing the increase of dynamic load that occurs in conventional methods.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using response surface methodology to establish relationships between excitation parameters and both screening efficiency and dynamic load. The optimization process uses this feedback information to iteratively adjust parameters, ensuring that efficiency improvements do not come at the cost of increased dynamic load.
