The fluid-driven clamping devices extensively used in the manufacturing industry nowadays are unable to adapt to the development requirements for green manufacturing technology owing to their low energy utilization, severe problems of noise and environment pollution. This article describes a clamping technology sparing the need of hydraulic pump and air compressor. It causes the thermal sensitive material to quickly expand or shrink linearly with the help of semiconductor heating/refrigeration conversion technology; then with the area effect stroke amplifier, the linear extension generated by the material is amplified around 100 times, and is output and passed to the clamping element in a linear motion manner to clamp the workpiece. This clamping device is an intelligent controlled electromechanical-hydraulic integrated system, featuring high energy utilization, extra low noise and fluid leakage etc.

The powerful advanced manufacturing industry is the most powerful driving force for economic development and growth, and it is also the main source of environmental pollution. Artificial intelligence and blockchain technology are recognized as a breakthrough technology that can be widely used, changing the way the entire society and economy operate. The main constraints affecting the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry are ecological deterioration and resource shortage, but the development of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology provides new ideas for solving manufacturing problems. Based on this, this paper proposes a research on the sustainable development performance of green manufacturing technology innovation based on artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. This paper deeply grasps the essence and connotation of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, analyzes its specific application form and research background, searches for the effective effect of manufacturing technology innovation and green manufacturing performance path, and clarifies the mechanism between the two. All measurement items in the questionnaire used in this article use Likert5 scale and use 1–5 options to indicate the degree of conformity with the actual situation of the enterprise. The results show that the average green manufacturing capacity of each measurement item is between 3.18∼3.97, indicating that the company's green manufacturing capacity is relatively high. Among them, the ability of green technology innovation is relatively high, indicating that most companies have noticed that the improvement of the ability of green technology innovation plays a vital role in the future sustainable development of enterprises. Moreover, more and more companies are paying attention to the latest applications of blockchain technology, which can effectively promote the development of enterprises.

Fluid transmission, such as hydraulic and pneumatic, is widely used in the fixtures in modern industry. But there are some disadvantages in these fixtures. First, too much loops and turns in the hydraulic or pneumatic systems have lead to lower energy utilization ratio and complicated structure. Second, oil emission in hydraulic system may cause environment pollution, and the noise in pneumatic system may cause pollution too. Third, fluid system always needs electro-hydraulic or electro-pneumatic transform elements for digital intelligent control, which will add the cost and the complexity of system. In order to overcome this disadvantage, a new kind of mechatronics clamping device is designed innovatively, which is driven by servo motor and translated along the self-locking power screw. So it was very simple with little transmission elements and has no high-speed mechanic components. By changing the geometry shape of basic link, different requirements for clamping forces and clamping situations can be satisfied. This new kind of clamping device has prominent advantages in green and digital aspects. Moreover, it can meet perfectly the requirements of short-cycle, high-volume production in modern manufacturing industry.

This paper introduces a pump free hydraulic drive clamping technique with zero energy consumption in the cutting process, the principle of which is to clamp the workpiece by an over-critical self-locking force-amplifying toggle mechanism which is driven by the significant displacement which is about one hundred times of the micro-displacement of giant magnetostrictive materials. The amplified displacement is the effect of the stroke-amplifying device based on area effect of Pascal theory. This new clamping technique of new concept not only features very simple structure and fast responsiveness in clamping process, but also has the following environment-friendly characteristics: (1) The clamping is significantly energy saving without energy consumption in the cutting process as well as safe and reliable due to the self-locking function of the over-critical force-amplifying toggle mechanism. (2) The noise and other pollutions generated by oil fluid leakage and volatilization are negligible because no hydraulic pump and open oil tank are used.

AbstractPlatinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have attracted interest in catalysis and biomedical applications due to their unique structural, optical, and catalytic properties. However, the conventional synthesis of Pt NPs using the chemical and physical methods is constrained by the use of harmful and costly chemicals, intricate preparation requirement, and high energy utilization. Hence, this review emphasizes on the green synthesis of Pt NPs using plant extracts as an alternative approach due to its simplicity, convenience, inexpensiveness, easy scalability, low energy requirement, environmental friendliness, and minimum usage of hazardous materials and maximized efficiency of the synthesis process. The underlying complex processes that cover the green synthesis (biosynthesis) of Pt NPs were reviewed. This review affirms the effects of different critical parameters (pH, reaction temperature, reaction time, and biomass dosage) on the size and shape of the synthesized Pt NPs. For instance, the average particle size of Pt NPs was reported to decrease with increasing pH, reaction temperature, and concentration of plant extract.

High energy consumption in ore crushing brings great challenges to the mining industry. Microwave irradiation provides a promising solution for rock breaking. However, there is currently a lack of detailed understanding of the microwave parameters regarding magnetite ore. The purpose of this study is to fully understand the potential value of microwave irradiation applied in auxiliary crushing of magnetite ore. It is typically found that increasing power reduces the mechanical properties of ore, increasing energy utilization, and crushing degree, more than extending time. Based on wave impedance, this reveals the dependence of energy utilization on thermal damage. Increasing irradiation power, time and cooling rate will cause more transgranular cracks and cleavage tears in the crushed ore. Based on the separate microwave response of several minerals, the microwave-damage mechanism of magnetite ore is further demonstrated.
