Chapter 599 New Mining Machinery

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While designers are working hard to complete the design of the dome city, Chen Xin is also perfecting a new design.

    But unlike the perfected design drawings by designers, Chen Xin adjusted his design through the nanomolecules projected from the watch on his wrist.

    This is the prototype of the previous mining Titan. Because it will not be mass-produced, it is only used for design and technical verification. Therefore, after the simplified machine for mass production is finalized, this prototype will not be used for anything.  The only use is to put it in the warehouse.

    Chen Xin felt that this was too wasteful, so he planned to improve it to see if there was any chance of putting it to use again.

    The answer is of course yes. There is no way that such a Titan will be useless. Even if it is only used as a transportation vehicle, it can still be used. It is just that the input and output are not proportional.

    Of course Chen Xin would not do this. What he envisioned was to put it into more useful situations and consider mass-producing it in greater numbers.

    Although it has been proven before that the design of this prototype is not reasonable and is not suitable for mass production, this is not a problem for Chen Xin.

    The unreasonable design of this prototype is largely due to the fact that it is not suitable for working in underground mines.

    In addition, it is a Titan, so ordinary workers cannot easily get started and require special driving training, which undoubtedly makes its promotion more difficult.

    If it¡¯s that kind of large-scale mining machinery that can effectively improve mining efficiency, then that¡¯s fine. At worst, you need to train a professional driver.

    Before the disaster, large industrial and mining enterprises would have operators specially trained to operate those professional equipment. This was not a big deal.

    It¡¯s just that the scope of application of the current prototype is too narrow. Professionally trained drivers drive expensive Titans to mine underground. At the same time, the mining output has not increased much, and the input and output are still disproportionate.

    Therefore, if Chen Xin wants to improve the prototype, the most important thing is to first improve its scope of application and reduce the cost at the same time.

    In Chen Xin¡¯s view, it is an idea to design the prototype machine in the direction of a simplified machine for mass production, but its original design idea cannot be considered problematic.

    If it is just for personal use, the cost of the exoskeleton is indeed much lower than that of the Titan, and it is easy to operate.

    But if it is used as a mining vehicle, the prototype actually still has development potential.

    Chen Xin has investigated before. Most of the mines that are still operating in the country are underground mines. Most of the open-pit mines that were easy to mine in the past were affected by disasters and the current snow-covered environment. There are no  To resume production.

    If the prototype can be transformed into a model that can carry out large-scale open-pit mining, it will undoubtedly play a great role.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that if Titan is to be used for mining in an open-pit mine, the prototype will undoubtedly be designed to be smaller.

    You must know that open-pit mines are no different from underground mines. Here, large machinery is usually used to directly dig up the entire mountain, crush all the rocks and veins, and then screen out the ore.

    For mining on this scale, the efficiency of the prototype is undoubtedly not suitable.

    Although it can be used more widely on the ground, the efficiency of the wind pick is undoubtedly very low in this case.

    Therefore, the mining tool of the prototype needs to be redesigned, and its size must also be improved so that it can have higher mining efficiency.

    But when Chen Xin was adjusting like this, he suddenly realized that he was not so much improving the prototype machine as he was simply redesigning a machine that could be used for open-pit mining.

    Thinking of this, he simply jumped out of the Titan category and directly redesigned it with the goal of large-scale mining machinery.

    First of all, the original six-legged walking mode can be retained. Although the crawler chassis of normal large-scale engineering machinery is also good, in complex environments such as snow or mines, the six supporting legs will undoubtedly provide smooth walking.  It is incomparable to wheels and tracks.

    The design of the mine cabin can be improved into a mine bucket. In fact, a closed mine cabin is not necessary. Whether it is underground or above ground, an open mine bucket is much simpler.

    As for the key to transformation, mining equipment is undoubtedly the top priority.

    The original pneumatic pick is indeed useful for breaking rocks, but it is only for human use, and the production efficiency is not high enough.

    If it is applied to this kind of large-scale mining machinery, it is better to replace it with two large hammers and smash it directly, which will be faster.

    So Chen Xin replaced this redesigned mining machine with two air hammers.They will be used to directly break large rocks and break open rock walls.

    In addition to this, the original two auxiliary mechanical giants are still retained, and they will still be used to collect ore.

    But now that its size has been enlarged, this mining machine designed by Chen Xinxin does not look like a half-human, half-spider monster, but more like a large spider with fangs and claws.

    Chen Xin canceled the humanoid design of the upper body and simply made this large mining machine into a spider shape. There are two huge forearms with air hammers and sharp front ends installed on them, which will be used to drill into the rock wall.  Use an air hammer to crush rocks.

    The six supporting legs on the side are used to assist walking, and only the two smaller auxiliary legs at the front are used to load ore into the ore bucket.

    The mining bucket still adopts the front-end opening method, and the cargo is loaded directly into the mining bucket from the head, instead of having to go around to the back and then throw it in.

    And its size has also been enlarged a lot, and the entire spider looks like a big truck.

    Its driving system and cockpit have been simplified by Chen Xin, turning it into an existence similar to a truck cockpit. Here, the driver only needs to pull the joystick to control the machine to move forward, backward, and work.  .

    Although its driving is still a bit complicated and even inconvenient because it requires pulling a joystick, training a truck driver is undoubtedly much simpler than training a Titan driver.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Of course, before that, we still need to reduce costs as much as possible.

    Compared with previous researchers who directly dismantled a Titan into an exoskeleton, Chen Xin's method of cost reduction is more subtle.

    What's more, given the size of the large machinery itself, it is impossible to reduce its manufacturing cost to the bottom all at once.

    Fortunately, Chen Xin transformed it from Titan into a large machine. Many parts of it can be replaced, which invisibly reduces the cost. In the end, after calculation, the volume of the large machine is twice the size of the original prototype.  The cost is even much lower than the prototype.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
