| Nowadays the market is changing rapidly. So, enterprise must adopt appropriate measures and find seek competitive advantage in order to adapt the fast-growing global market, such as product innovation, shorter design cycles and less costs.The modular design is an effective means which can achieve rapid product design. It is possibly to implement modular design because of the similar characteristics of the gantry travel arrangement of port ship unloader, such as stable structure, similar pieces, series and universal property, based on the basic theory of modular, as research object of the gantry travel arrangement of grab ship unloader, the corresponding application of modular technology is studied. The details are as follows,(1) The development of domestic and foreign port ship unloader is described, and the research significance is carried out.(2) According to practical working experience, the basic structure and classification of the gantry travel arrangement of port ship unloader are summarized. Then, detailed comparison of classification of various models is introduced.(3) According to the theory of modular design, the gantry travel arrangement of port ship unloader is reasonably partitioned.(4) The real case demonstrats the feasibility of modular applications in gantry travel arrangement. |
