Modular Winding Machine Upright Column Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing winding machines face challenges in transportation and on-site assembly due to their large and complex shape, requiring welding for assembly, which is difficult and not easily disassembled, making them inconvenient for site installation and transport.
Innovation Solution
The design includes a modular upright column with a concave-convex structure, connected using bolts or screws, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and a hoisting apparatus with a guide rail system for ascending and descending movement, enabling the machine to be transported and installed without welding, with a membrane frame that can be easily connected and disconnected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the upright column housing adopts welding assembly, then the structural strength is improved, but the ease of transport and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The upright column housing is divided into multiple segments (first upright column cover plate and second upright column cover plate) that can be separately assembled and disassembled. This segmentation allows the housing to be transported in smaller parts and easily reassembled at the installation site without requiring welding operations.
Solution Approach 2:
Connection pieces with upright column outline shaping surfaces serve as intermediaries between the cover plates and the hollow upright column structure. These connection pieces enable bolted or screwed connections that provide sufficient structural strength while maintaining ease of assembly and disassembly, replacing the need for welding.
2Ease of operation
If the upright column housing is designed as a thin board for easy transport, then the ease of transport is improved, but the manufacturing quality and appearance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is segmented into multiple thin cover plates that can be easily transported. Each plate is manufactured with high precision independently, ensuring good appearance and quality without requiring thick materials that would be difficult to transport.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple thin cover plates are combined through connection pieces to form the complete upright column housing. This merging of multiple high-quality thin components achieves both ease of transport and high manufacturing precision, as each component can be manufactured separately with controlled quality standards.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the winding machine is designed as a large integrated structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of transport and on-site assembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The winding machine is divided into modular segments including the upright column housing, membrane frame, and other components. These segments can be transported separately and assembled at the installation site, maintaining structural stability while enabling easy transport and assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection pieces and mounting structures are designed with universal features that allow the same components to serve multiple functions - providing structural stability during operation while enabling easy assembly and disassembly for transport. The hollow upright column structure, for example, provides both structural integrity and space for housing electrical control parts.

AI summary
A winding machine comprises an upright column, a winding machine base, a rotary mechanism, and a membrane frame. The bottom of the upright column housing main body and the winding machine base are connected by means of a first upright column cover plate and a second upright column cover plate to form a column shape. The upright column internally has a hoisting apparatus supporting frame. The lower end of the hoisting apparatus supporting frame is connected to the bottom inner side connecting piece. The upper end is connected to a top mounting rack of a hoisting apparatus. A lower portion mounting rack of the hoisting apparatus is connected to the bottom inner side connecting piece. A groove opening for ascending and descending movement is reserved on the upright column housing main body between the first upright column cover plate and the second upright column cover plate.
