The Design

About Transporter Fluid Transmission

Transporter is a peristaltic pump head that moves liquid by squeezing a hose with rollers. The pump head opens when a red cover is rotated upward, so the hose can be placed inside and then secured by rotating the cover down again. Elastic clamping structures at the inlet and outlet accept hose sizes 13 to 17. The head is joined to a drive through an adapter plate, and a spring lock holds the connection. Red parts mark the operating points, helping new users work without a manual. The shell is made of Ixef 1022.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The transporter is a peristaltic pump head that squeezes the hose through a roller to move the liquid in the pipe.
His main innovation was the way the pump head was opened, followed by the way the pump head was connected to the drive.
We use a highly saturated color block to indicate the operation button, so that the staff can easily notice the operation position.
Dimensions & Packaging: When closed, the product size is 83mmx56mmx83mm
Product size when opened 83mmx56mmx180mm
The hose replacement space is 22.4mm
Tags: Visualization, Humanization, Fast, Easy, Proportional
Production Technology: The shell material is Ixef1022
Design Challenge: Practicality and ease of use were critical to this project. First, it must have a reasonable structure to accomplish the function, and second, it must indicate how the operation should be done through some indicators such as shape and color.
Research: The characteristics of peristaltic pump are not in contact with liquid, sanitary and safe, and the transmission medium uses silica gel hose, which can be transmitted warm and will not destroy the composition of the liquid, so there are peristaltic pumps in many industries. In the lab we test the life of the hose by constantly squeezing it, so as to know how often the hose is replaced. Through the interview with the user to know the problems in the pump head loading and unloading, so as to make a new design.
Inspiration: According to the user's feedback, whether it is simple sub assembly or quantitative transmission, replacing the hose and dismantling the pumphead are the most frequent steps. If it is a newcomer, he must rely on the manual.
The design is inspired by the piston pump. Its structure is made up of levers to move the piston up and down. The structure is very simple, and the way the pump head opens is the same.And his color scheme helps beginners understand how he works.
Project Duration: The project began in April 2021 in Hebei, China, and ended in February 2022 in Hebei, China.
Operation Flow: Rotate the red cover upward, lift the pressure tube structure, put the hose in, and rotate the red cover downward again to complete the hose installation. The two sides of the hose inlet and outlet are elastic clamping structure, can be used in No.13-17 hose.
When the pump head is connected to the driver, first fix the adapter plate to the driver through screws, and then rotate the pump head towards the card slot of the connecting board, and the spring self-locks to complete the installation.
