Chapter 592

The foreman is really better at using the air pick than the previous drivers. After understanding how to operate the mining Titan, he quickly uses the air pick equipped on the mining Titan to continue their interrupted work on the rock wall in front of them, and soon breaks a rock wall into pieces.

Just when the foreman was going to clean up the mined ore as usual, he found that the set of equipment on his body limited his movement, and he was frozen there for a moment.

"You can pick up the ore and put it in the bucket at the back." The researcher thought he didn't know where to put the ore, so he gave a warning.

But Chen Xin patted him and said, "he can't bend down and pick up the ore on the ground."

Being reminded by Chen Xin, the researcher immediately came to the foreman and took a look at his equipment. Then he said: "he was wearing ordinary protective clothing. The life support equipment on his back and the structure of the simplification machine supported him, so he couldn't bend down. In the original design, he could squat down to pick up ores."

For this explanation, Chen Xin nodded understandably. It's not strange. After all, it's Titan. Even if it's a simplified version, it's very easy to carry a set of life support equipment on it.

However, this kind of design is not practical in Chen Xin's view, because the protective clothing itself has life support equipment. It is unnecessary to redesign new protective clothing in order to drive Titan.

As for how this is designed now... Titan drivers are not wearing protective clothing, but Titan's driving clothing. Their life support equipment is different from the structure of ordinary protective clothing.

This kind of problem is quite common in design, because when researchers first design something, they first consider to achieve the core goal and solve the problems, and then they improve on the basis of achieving the core goal and add other design goals.

Before finalization, everything can be modified, which is the purpose of testing.

Find out the inadequacies or irrationalities and revise them.

However, with the help of researchers and Titan drivers, the foreman unfastened the fixed connection and came down from the mining Titan. With a frown, Chen Xin came to the simplified version of Titan and motioned several people to get out of the way. He picked up a large ore on the ground and put it into the bucket. Then he asked the foreman, "how many times do you have to repeat this kind of work a day?"

"We haven't counted that. There are always dozens of times a day. It has something to do with the hardness of the rock wall and the efficiency of our work." The foreman was a little stiff in front of Chen Xin.

Chen Xin nodded, looked at the researcher and asked him, "I saw that there was a Da'ao auxiliary loading and unloading ore on the prototype machine before. Why did the design be removed from the simplified machine?"

"This..." the researcher was stunned by Chen Xinwen. After a long time, he explained: "the design is not very stable, and the operation is a little complicated. It's not very convenient. Considering the cost, he canceled the design in the simplified version and changed it to what it is now."

Hearing what the researcher said, Chen Xin shook his head helplessly and said to him, "although it's important to simplify the structure and reduce the cost, you've overdone it! No matter how complicated the design is, it's easier than bending over and picking up stones like this? "

"Ah, it's... We're not thoughtful." Although he didn't change the design, the researcher had to carry the pot.

In fact, in the previous laboratory testing phase, the mining Titan initially retained an auxiliary mechanical arm to collect ore, and then loaded it directly into the back hopper.

However, because it is a hopper, not a bunker used on the standard Titan, there are some differences in the structure between the two, which leads to the ore in the hopper will slide out from the hopper when the simplification machine lowers and uses two mechanical arms to collect ore.

Although it is said that adding a partition can solve the problem, in order to simplify the design, and in the actual test, the driver bent down to pick up the stone and didn't find it inconvenient, so the relatively complex design of the mechanical arm was removed.

However, after listening to Chen Xin's words, the researcher also reflected that he was thinking badly.

During the experimental test, they just broke a simulated stone poured out of cement. Even after breaking it with an air pick, it just broke into several pieces. It was really easy to pick up the strength of the exoskeleton. It was just a matter of bending down.

But for the workers under the mine, it means that they have to bend dozens or even hundreds of times a day.

The equipment originally designed to improve the production efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of workers increases the degree of fatigue of workers, which is undoubtedly undesirable.

So after Chen Xin pointed out this point, the researcher soon realized this problem, so he took the initiative to carry the pot.

However, it's not for the sake of perfunctory. The researcher quickly asked Chen Xin, "academician, do you think the original design of the manipulator should be added back?"

"I don't have a say in this. I have to ask this worker." Chen Xin pointed to the foreman standing in front of him and said to the researcher, "whether it's easy to use or not depends on the actual users who have used it before they can give the most intuitive answer. Is it necessary to change the structure of mechanical arm to assist in ore collection, or let him see what's going on?"

"OK, I see." The researcher nodded, didn't say anything more, just looked at the passage where the crowd came just behind him, waiting for the arrival of the prototype.

But after waiting for a long time, the prototype didn't come down. Instead, the driver himself came down from the elevator.

"Sorry, academician! The prototype is too big. It got stuck when it came down. " The driver of the prototype plane was helpless and depressed. He finally got a chance to drive Titan, but he got stuck because of his size. It was a shame.

When Chen Xin heard this, he was surprised and asked, "how did it get stuck? Where did it get stuck? "

"In the tunnel above, I came in very smoothly and didn't encounter any obstacles, but the tunnel below suddenly narrowed and jammed the body." The driver was also aggrieved when he said that.

Originally, it was just a test, and the previous passage passed smoothly, so he was careless. Unexpectedly, because the light was too dim, he didn't notice that the tunnel in front of him suddenly narrowed, so he was stuck in the tunnel wall.
