Ways to improve the performance of mechanical equipment

Strengthening human-oriented management is the fundamental way to improve the performance of mechanical equipment

With the continuous development of science and technology and the wide application of new technologies, new materials and new processes, the types of mechanical equipment have become more complete and their structures more complex. At the same time, the requirements for mechanical equipment operators have also increased accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the skills training of operators, so that they not only understand the structural composition, principle, performance of mechanical equipment and master operation skills, but also possess the ability to quickly diagnose and repair faults of mechanical equipment. Good technical proficiency of operators can significantly enhance the utilization rate and integrity of mechanical equipment, prevent damage to mechanical equipment caused by human factors, shorten the maintenance time and cycle of mechanical equipment, and create good economic benefits for enterprises. In addition, the working attitude, enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of the operators have a significant impact on the performance of mechanical equipment. A qualified operator should have a strong sense of responsibility and professional honor, be able to position themselves correctly, love their own job, obey the management and assignment of the leaders, and strictly follow the safety operation procedures of mechanical equipment to ensure safe production. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the quality education and training of operators, and improve their sense of responsibility for work. Only in this way can the enthusiasm and initiative of operators be more effectively increased, ultimately achieving the goal of improving the utilization rate and integrity of mechanical equipment and obtaining good economic benefits.

Strengthening the maintenance and upkeep of mechanical equipment is an important way to enhance its performance in use.

The quality of maintenance and upkeep of mechanical equipment is the prerequisite and foundation for its operation. During long-term use, the components of mechanical equipment wear out, the clearance increases, and the fit changes. The static and dynamic balance that mechanical equipment should have is disrupted, and the working stability, reliability, and efficiency of the machinery all decline significantly It may even cause permanent damage to certain assemblies and components. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an effective management mechanism for mechanical equipment, especially to intensify the management of maintenance and upkeep of mechanical equipment. All rules and regulations should be strictly implemented. Based on the actual situation, a scientific, efficient and reasonable maintenance and upkeep plan should be formulated. There should be dedicated personnel responsible for and inspecting. Maintenance and upkeep of mechanical equipment should be carried out on time and at the right level. Regular checks on the maintenance and upkeep conditions should be conducted. And carefully keep records of the maintenance and upkeep of mechanical equipment. The specific content includes the following four aspects:

Strengthen the maintenance of equipment to prevent mismaintenance and eliminate any missed maintenance. As improper maintenance is one of the main causes of equipment failure, maintenance work must be enforced compulsion. The mechanical maintenance manager should formulate a practical and effective maintenance plan in accordance with the mechanical maintenance and operation manual, conduct technical briefings with the pilot personnel, and randomly check the implementation of maintenance at any time. At the same time, a reward and punishment mechanism should be established to reward the excellent and punish the poor, so as to enhance the sense of responsibility of the majority of machine drivers, motivate their enthusiasm and initiative for work, and effectively carry out maintenance work to ensure the normal operation of mechanical equipment. Therefore, maintenance work should start from the source and prevent the practice of "repairing while maintaining".

(2) Strengthen the daily inspection of equipment. The inspection results should be recorded in detail, not only including previous maintenance and repair records, replacement records, but also records of daily usage and workload, so as to analyze and judge mechanical faults and eliminate potential faults in a timely and accurate manner.

(3) The machine manager should promptly grasp the situation, understand the overall situation, make reasonable and detailed mechanical maintenance plans, and give instructions and supervision on maintenance operations and purchasing activities to avoid unnecessary maintenance and waste of related costs.

(4) Strengthen the management of mechanical equipment, establish and improve the rules and regulations for mechanical maintenance and repair, and emphasize the role of mechanical equipment management. Improve the data statistics system and file and record major and minor faults. Clear responsibilities and rewards and punishments should be given to aircraft pilots and maintenance managers. Strengthen supervision over the procurement and processing of mechanical parts to ensure the quality and quantity of mechanical parts.

Strengthening the management and maintenance of the environment is a necessary way to improve the performance of mechanical equipment.

Many large-scale mechanical equipment, such as asphalt mixture mixing equipment, stabilized soil mixing equipment, and combined crushers, are of considerable scale. The weight of each part ranges from several tons to dozens of tons, and the requirements for the working site are relatively strict. The selection of the working site should fully take into account the possible impact of wind direction, rivers and surrounding buildings on the equipment. Moreover, the site should be as flat and dense as possible to avoid the tilting of the equipment and the collapse of the foundation due to heavy weight, severe vibration and other reasons during the use of mechanical equipment, which may cause unnecessary damage and economic losses. When mechanical equipment is used in extremely hot or cold conditions, necessary measures should be taken to protect the equipment, and some parameters of the equipment should be adjusted as necessary according to the actual situation. The strength of wind has a significant impact on the normal operation of mechanical equipment. When the wind is too strong, the material conveying belt of the equipment will deviate. In severe cases, the material conveying belt may be torn or the material conveying belt frame may tilt or collapse. In addition, as the power of modern large-scale highway construction machinery ranges from hundreds of kilowatts to several hundred kilowatts, there are higher requirements for the safety, stability and economy of the energy devices that provide power for the mechanical equipment. Before starting up mechanical equipment, a systematic maintenance and inspection of the energy device should be carried out. A comprehensive check should be conducted on the output power, working stability and safety of the generator to provide strong power support for the normal operation of the equipment.

In conclusion, there are many factors that affect the performance of mechanical equipment. Only by mastering all the factors that influence the performance of highway construction machinery can we make more thorough preparations in the actual construction process based on these factors, improve the utilization rate of mechanical equipment, reduce production costs, and achieve greater economic benefits.
