The shell of mechanical equipment is a protective cover installed on the outside of the equipment. It is used to prevent people from entering the dangerous area, contact with exposed high-speed motion or transmission parts, or live conductors, or splash chips, workpieces, knives, etc. Foreign objects hurt people and play a very important role. So, what problems should be paid attention to in the design of mechanical equipment shell? The following is a brief overview of the basic principles of mechanical equipment appearance design and its mold cost.

First of all, the design of mechanical equipment shell should adhere to the people-oriented design principle. When designing safety protection, human factors should be considered first to ensure the personal safety of operators. The shell of mechanical equipment is an isolation and protection safety device, so the safety problem of man-machine system should be solved in the design. For example, the shell structure and layout of mechanical equipment should be designed reasonably so that the human body cannot directly enter the dangerous area.

Secondly, the design of mechanical equipment housing must follow the principle of safety and reliability. The housing device of mechanical equipment must meet the corresponding safety requirements to ensure sufficient strength, rigidity, stability and corrosion resistance within the specified life period, which not only ensures sufficient safety and reliability. The design of the housing of mechanical equipment should also fully consider the possible unsafe state. Special circumstances such as operational errors, accidents, emergencies, etc.

Furthermore, the design of mechanical equipment shells should comply with the principles of reasonable layout and ease of use by operators. Mechanical equipment may be malfunctioning during use, repair or maintenance, and these factors should be taken into account in the design. The design of the mechanical equipment shell is more complicated and complicated. We cannot blindly pursue the beauty of the appearance. We must combine the safety of the operator and the convenient operation during use as the starting point of the design to make a good mechanical equipment shell design.

In addition, the design of mechanical equipment shell should also consider the later mold cost, so as to achieve economic and environmental protection and save resource costs. After the design scheme is preliminarily determined, we should communicate with the mold manufacturer in advance to understand the mold opening cost. There are many types of molds, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate mold forming according to different requirements such as mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, surface finish, service life, and cost performance. For the same set of molds, there is sometimes a big gap in quotations from different manufacturers. It should be based on actual needs and under the premise of ensuring mold quality, reduce costs as much as possible.
