Chapter 498: New mining machinery

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []The fastest update! No ads! While the designers are working hard to complete the design of the dome city, Chen Xin is also perfecting a new design.
It's just that unlike the designer's perfect design, Chen Xin is adjusting his design through the nanomolecule 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, so after the simplified model of mass production is completed, this prototype will not be sent. It can only be used in the warehouse.
Chen Xin felt that this was too wasteful, so he planned to improve it a bit to see if there was any chance of it being used again.
The answer is of course yes. Such a Titan can't be useless, even if it is only used as a transportation vehicle, it can also come in handy, but the input and output are disproportionate.
Of course, Chen Xin would not do this. What he envisioned was to put it in more useful occasions and consider making it more mass-produced.
Although it has been proved before that this prototype is designed to be unreasonable and not suitable for mass production, this is not a problem for Chen Xin.
The unreasonable design of this prototype is largely because it is not suitable for working in underground mines.
In addition, it is a Titan itself, and ordinary workers can't easily get started, and they need to carry out special driving training, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of its promotion.
If it is the kind of large-scale mining machinery that can effectively improve mining efficiency, it’s okay, but it’s a big deal to train a professional driver.
Before the disaster, large industrial and mining companies would have such operators specially trained to operate those professional equipment. This is not a big deal.
It's just that the scope of application of the prototype is too narrow. Professionally trained drivers drove the expensive Titan to mine. At the same time, the output of mining 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 increase its scope of application and reduce the cost at the same time.
In Chen Xin's view, the design of the prototype in the direction of mass-production simplified machine is an idea, but its original design idea can not be considered as a problem.
If it is only for personal use, the cost of exoskeleton is much lower than that of Titan, and the operation is simple.
But if it is used as a mining vehicle, the prototype still has development potential.
Chen Xin has investigated before that most of the mines currently operating in China are underground mines. In the past, the open-pit mines that were easy to mine were mostly affected by disasters and the current snow environment. To resume production.
If the prototype can be transformed into a model that can be used for large-scale open-pit mining, it can undoubtedly play a great role.
But if you want to use Titan to mine in an open-pit mine, the prototype is undoubtedly designed to be small.
It should be understood that open-pit mines are not comparable to underground mines, where large machinery is usually used to directly dig up the entire mountain, crush all the rocks and veins together, and then screen out the ore.
For this scale of mining, the efficiency of the prototype is undoubtedly not applicable.
Although it can be used more openly on the ground, the pneumatic pick is undoubtedly very inefficient in this case.
Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the mining tool of the prototype, and at the same time increase its size in order to be able to have higher mining efficiency.
However, while Chen Xin was adjusting in this way, he suddenly found that he was doing so not so much to improve the prototype, as it was to redesign a machine that could be used in open-pit mining.
Thinking of this, he simply jumped out of the category of Titans and redesigned directly with the goal of large-scale mining machinery.
First of all, the original six-legged walking mode can be retained. Although the crawler-type chassis of normal large-scale construction machinery is also good, but in a more complex environment such as snow or mines, the walking stability brought by the six supporting feet is undoubtedly It is unmatched by wheels and crawlers.
The design of the ore cabin can be improved into a ore bucket. A closed ore cabin is actually not very necessary. Whether it is underground or on the ground, it is much simpler to have an open ore bucket directly.
As for the key to transformation, mining equipment is undoubtedly the top priority.
The original pneumatic pick is really good for broken rocks, but it is only for human use, and the production efficiency is not high enough.
If it is applied to such a large-scale mining machine, it is better to exchange two big hammers directly and return it directly.
Therefore, Chen Xin replaced this redesigned mining machine with two air hammers, which will be used to directly crush large rocks and smash the rock walls.
In addition, the original two auxiliary machinery Daao still remain, they will still be used to collect ore.
Only now that the size is enlarged, the mining machine designed by Chen Xinxin does not look like a half-human, half-spider monster, but more like a large spider with teeth and claws.
Chen Xin canceled the humanoid design of the upper body and simply made this large mining machine into a spider shape, which has two huge forearms, equipped with air hammers and sharp front ends, which will be used to drill into the rock wall. Crush the rock with an air hammer.
The six supporting feet on the side are used to assist walking, and only the two smaller auxiliary large ao at the front end are used to load the ore into the mine bucket.
The mine bucket still uses the front-end opening method to load goods directly from the head into the mine bucket instead of having to go around to the back and then throw it in.
And its size has been enlarged a lot, the whole spider looks like a big truck.
Its driving system and cockpit were simplified by Chen Xin. Uukanshu.com has become an existence similar to the cockpit of a truck, where 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 is pulling the joystick, it is undoubtedly much easier to train a truck driver than to train a Titan driver.
Next, you only need to amplify its engine output, so that it has more surging power and stronger output, and it can become a very useful mining machine.
Of course, before this, it is still necessary to reduce the cost as much as possible.
However, Chen Xin's method of reducing costs is more subtle than the previous method of directly disassembling a Titan into an exoskeleton.
What's more, the volume of the large machinery itself is placed here, and it is impossible to reduce its manufacturing cost to the end at once.
Fortunately, Chen Xin transformed it from Titan into a large machine, many of which can be replaced, which invisibly reduced a lot of costs. In the end, once calculated, the volume is already a large machine twice the size of the original prototype. The cost is even much lower than the prototype.
