3. PROTOTYPE

4.  In palm oil plantation, the fruits often dropped and
scattered on the floor when it is ripped.
 Collecting scattered fruits on the floor will take a lot
of time since it is necessary to separate dirt, rocks
and leaves from the fruits before being collected.
 Use of heavy machinery would be a problem since the
gap or space that allow it to move around is limited.
 An existing portable fruit collector requires the fruits
to be compressed and pressed before entered into the
collection cavity.
 This would actually damage the fruits quality.
INTRODUCTION

5. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Collecting using a flexible cage fruit
collector would need the fruits to be
pressed at a force before it will enter the
collection “cavity” and this force will
damage the fruits.

6. Reduce time required to sort what is
needed (palm fruits) and what do not
need it (dirts)
Avoid any unnecessary movement such
as bending down or kneeling.
Avoid damaging the palm fruit which in
turn will preserve the fruit quality.
BENEFITS OR IMPACT IF PROBLEM
IS SOLVED

7. Fruits not to be destroyed or damage
after being collected.
The cost for one unit must more than
RM 100.
It must not take as many space as a
heavy machinery and must have high
mobility.
BOUNDARY CONDITION

9. Analyse the interaction between
components
Construct a Function Model of an
Engineering System
Concentrate the problem area

CONTRADICTION

16. Parameter involved:
Improving parameter: Object-affected harmful
factors
Worsening parameter: Productivity
IF THE ROLLER IS ROTATING ON THE GROUND, THEN
THE ‘CAGE’ SEPARATE THE ROCKS AND FRUITS WHICH
PREVENT DIRT INGESTION TO THE FRUIT, BUT THE
‘CAGE’ ALSO DAMAGE FEW FRUITS DUE TO
“SQUEEZING” EFFECT.

17. Suggested Inventive
Principles:
#22 Blessing in disguise
#35 Parameter changes
#13 The other way
around
#24 Intermediary
Based on the suggested
Inventive Principles
provided, the potential
solution is #24
Intermediary which is
merge an intermediary
carrier to the system.
CONTRADICTION MATRIX

18. Proposed Solution
• A cage as the entry way changed to a flat scoop or a slanted
area
• The materials being dig will be filtered or sieve using the small
opening at the cage.
Eliminated : Smaller items like rocks, sand or leaves
Preserve : Palm fruits will remain in the
• Additional features: A one way door is being added to prevent
palm fruits from falling out when the cage is being rotate.
• Eliminated “pressing” action on the fruits.
• A bigger cavity which allow user to use to cover a bigger area
before need to stop and unload the collection.
