INTRODUCTION
To design a trolley which is used to carry different kinds of tubes like Gemini, V.Rad, Venus, MX100, V.Surgery, QG/NP. These tubes were carried on the trolleys after every stage. There were different types of trolleys with variation in height.
DESIGN BRIEF
To study about the product, learn the way it is used and to find
out problems to solve them, both technically and ergonomically.
out problems to solve them, both technically and ergonomically.
PROBLEMS
- Difficulty to see into the window. Have to bend to allign the red light between the
two lines.
two lines.
- Thickness of the handles is less. Difficulty to hold.
- Loading and unloading is done manually (Tubes)
- The trolley have sharp edges at the ends and corners.
- Some of the trolley occupy larger amount of space.
- There are different trolley for different kinds of tubes like QJ/NP, Gemini etc.
- The circular wheels which is used to rotate the fixed tubes are small.
- The way of holding the handles for moving the trolley is not ergonomical. It causes
pain in the wrist bone.
pain in the wrist bone.
- Lot of maintenance is done for the trolley
CONCEPT 1
- The rod where the tube is fixed is movable so that it becomes easy to switch the
height of the tube as the ovens vary in height.
height of the tube as the ovens vary in height.
- The handle is made vertical, which makes the user to hold the handle comfort. It,s
ergonomical
ergonomical
- Less maintenance and less space occupied
CONCEPT 2
- Same points to be included in concept-2 from concept-1
Changes made:
- There is support at the back so that the trolley balances
- There is support at the back so that the trolley balances
- The circular wheel is made bigger so that it can be easily rotated.
CONCEPT 3
- Same points to be included in concept- 3 from concept-1
Changes made:
- The shape of the trolley is made in such a way that the heavy tubes balance
after they get fixed.
- The shape of the trolley is made in such a way that the heavy tubes balance
after they get fixed.
- The length is expanded at the front and decreased the length from the back
FINAL CONCEPT
- Same points to be included in the final concept from concept-1
Changes made:
- There is a hook where the tubes can be hanged. No need to transfer the tube from one
trolley to another.
- There is a hook where the tubes can be hanged. No need to transfer the tube from one
trolley to another.
- The hook is foldable, so that the tube doesn’t get hit by it when is attached to the fixture
- The rod where the tube is mixed is not moved front and back, you can see that in the
rendered pics.
