Modular Design Of Crane

Concept: Hoisting machinery refers to a multi-action hoisting machinery that vertically lifts and horizontally carries heavy objects within a certain range. It is a widely used machinery and equipment, covering many aspects of the manufacturing industry.

Modular design refers to the division and design of a series of functional modules on the basis of functional analysis of products with different functions or the same function, different performance, and different specifications within a certain range. Different products can be formed through the selection and combination of modules. Design methods to meet the different needs of the market.

Three characteristics

1. Relative independence, modules can be designed, manufactured, debugged, modified and stored separately, which is convenient for different specialized enterprises to produce separately;

2. Interchangeability. The structure, size and parameters of the module interface are standardized, and it is easy to realize the interchange between modules, so that the modules can meet the needs of a larger number of different products;

3. Versatility, which is conducive to the common use of modules between horizontal series and vertical series products, and the common use of modules between cross-series products.

Trend

Modularity is a new design idea developed on the basis of traditional design. It has become a new technology and is widely used. Modular design products are constantly emerging. How to make the modular design of products fully meet the diversified needs of the market should arouse great attention from business operators, new product developers and standardization researchers. Modular design has been widely used in design fields such as machine tools, electronic products, aerospace, and aviation. On the one hand, companies must make use of product batching, standardization and generalization to shorten the time to market, reduce product costs, and improve product quality. On the other hand, they must continue to innovate products to make products more and more personalized to meet customer customization needs. . In this way, how to balance the contradiction between standardization, generalization and customization and flexibility of products has become a key ability to win the competition. Platform-based and modular product design and production can provide diversified product configurations while maintaining high product versatility. Therefore, platform-based and modular products are a way to solve the contradiction between customized production and mass production. .

Modularization of Hoisting Machinery Series Products

Hoisting machinery is a series of products in batches. Modular design is used to replace the traditional hoisting machinery design. The components and parts of the hoisting machinery with basically the same function can be made into multifunctional and universal standard modules. Different types and specifications of hoisting machinery can be formed by combining different module parts and accessories. To improve the crane, only a few modules are required. To design a new type of crane, only need to select different modules to recombine. The cranes for single-piece and small-batch production can be changed to modular production with considerable batches to realize high-efficiency and specialized production. The production organization of the enterprise can also be changed from product management to modular management. To improve the performance of the whole machine, reduce the manufacturing cost, and increase the degree of generalization, the series of products with multiple varieties and specifications can be formed with a smaller number of parts and components to fully meet the needs of users. At present, well-known crane companies in Germany, Britain, France, the United States,China and Japan have adopted crane modular design and achieved significant benefits. After the modular design of the standard crane series of the some company is changed, the design cost of the single-piece design is reduced by 12%, the production cost is reduced by 45%, and the economic benefits are very considerable.

In the future, the rapid development of large-scale and intelligent hoisting machinery and the maturity of hoisting equipment technology will accelerate the trend of hoisting machinery manufacturers to modular applications.
