The Cost Of The Valve Is Closely Related To The Design Of The Valve

In various industries, efforts are being made to find ways to reduce costs. Some bosses in the valve industry have found that the valve design cost has a relatively large impact on their overall costs when reducing costs. So will the valve design cost affect the overall cost of the valve?

The impact of design factors on costs is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. The rationality of the function of the design product The rationality of the function of the design product will affect the manufacturing cost and market reputation of the product, and affect the potential market of the product. The most reasonable design is to design a product that can meet user requirements and minimize its own costs. Therefore, as a valve designer, it is necessary to collect user information extensively, conduct statistics and analysis carefully, and then determine the basic type of valve with basically complete functions and certain improvability as the finalized product of this series of valves. This type can meet the requirements of most users, and for those users who require higher performance and more complete functions, we can make simple changes and combinations based on this basic type to meet their requirements. Such a product is a reasonable design, which can truly and reasonably minimize the cost.

2. The rationality of the structure of the design product The rationality of the structure of the design product will affect the weight of the blank and the processability of the product, and then affect the raw material procurement cost and process cost. For valve designers, "weight reduction and enhancement" is an eternal pursuit. For valves, a special pressure vessel, due to the complexity of its structure and shape, the uncertainty and instability of the actual pressure, the uncertainty of its actual bearing capacity on the engineering pipeline, the instability of the physical and chemical properties of the main materials, and the lack of corrosion data of various materials under different media and pressures, there is no complete mechanical (strength, stiffness) calculation theory so far, which can not only meet the performance of the product but also minimize the weight of the product. The cost of the valve is closely related to the design of the valve. However, with the progress of science, the development of material science and mechanics theory, especially the application of computer technology in the field of material mechanics, our calculation ability of materials is gradually improving. How to better design products with more reasonable structure, more reasonable shape and more reasonable weight will be the direction of every valve designer.

3. Process rationality of design products The process rationality of design products will affect the rationality of processing technology and processing costs. The simplicity and complexity of the structure of products and parts, the design of the processing surface, the design of the matching accuracy, and the design of the assembly form will affect the model making, the blank forming, the difficulty of the processing technology, the processing volume and processing time, the difficulty of assembly, the difficulty of painting and packaging and transportation, etc. Therefore, when designing, a designer's process experience is very important. As a qualified designer, you must not only have design and calculation capabilities, but also have rich process knowledge and be familiar with the entire production process of your products. Whether it is the model making, casting, annealing, blank cutting, stamping, welding, post-welding treatment of castings, or the machining methods and processes of all parts, assembly test processes, and the sizes and performances of various standard parts, you must have sufficient understanding. In this way, you can apply your process experience to the actual design, thereby avoiding waste in the process of product design.

4. The rationality of the appearance of the design product The rationality of the appearance of the design product will affect the market batch of the product, and then affect the batch cost. There is a popular saying in the mechanical design industry: "If something is ugly, it must be unreasonable." That is to say, if the shape of the product we design is not good-looking, there must be unreasonable places in terms of stiffness and strength. And if an unreasonable shape wants to achieve the required strength and meet the performance, it must rely on adding materials. Therefore, a reasonable shape design is not only good-looking in appearance, but also can save materials and reduce costs. Therefore, when users choose a company's products based on appearance, it cannot be simply said that they only look at the appearance and not the essence. It is also based on these considerations that the packaging of the product has been striving to be beautiful in appearance, beautiful in appearance, and intact in packaging. Because once such a product passes the trial, it is easy to form a batch order, and if a product can be mass-produced, its model utilization rate, material utilization rate, process fluency, management cost, etc. will be greatly reduced.
