Conveyors TRIZ Cases

A radial-slot mounting bracket lets the drive pulley move on an arcuate path to set repeatable belt tension without external measurement devices.

Rotating rollers with tension and compression biasing conform to large workpiece edges, maintaining uniform pressure with one-handed use.

Positive-locking profiled tracks feed different connecting elements without mechanical switching, cutting feeder complexity, space, and maintenance.

Controlled suction and touch plate vibration separate laser-cut metal products from overlapping skeletons during lifting.

Automated profile rotation and reversible conveyors replace manual supports, improving machining throughput while reducing unit footprint.

Separated conveyor and passage tracks guide trapped chips through belt openings, preventing buildup, contamination, and return-device faults.

Arcuate concave clamp surfaces disperse strain energy at belt teeth and cords, reducing stress risers and extending timing belt life.

A magnetic lift platform and slider move coil springs vertically to the conveyor without gripping or rotation, improving transfer precision and speed.

Co-molded polymer seals, sealed end caps, and a hollow multi-piece shaft keep grit out of conveyor idler bearings while cutting weight and build cost.

A sensor-triggered motorized door plate automates conduit pass-through access while maintaining secure closure for maintenance and handling.

Removable symmetric links and hardened flight bars help chain conveyors handle lateral turns while cutting wear and replacement effort.

Hardened stainless steel linking pins and bushings cut wear elongation and galling in spiral conveyor drive chains, extending service life.

Multi-axis coupler joints and gusset reinforcement help chain conveyors handle lateral turns with lower wear, better load distribution, and longer service life.

Edge elements around the lift frame center containers at the storage column opening, improving handling precision while easing top-level congestion.

Rotating, transport, guide, and loading sections replace crane handling to speed conveyor belt installation while reducing collision damage.

By confining each load handler to one grid space, stacked containers stay densely packed while multiple robots retrieve bins faster.

A buffered conveyor keeps cup trains spaced and phase-synced between intermittent deep-drawing presses to prevent jams and deformation.

Centralized control directs simple transport vehicles to route and deposit articles into destination containers with less labor, error, and floor space.

Standardized add-on modules and controller recognition let manufacturers expand loading and unloading capacity without costly rework.

False teeth and locking features keep an openable cogged belt joint planar, preventing tooth misalignment and pulley enmeshing errors.

An adhesive layer mixed with lubricant lets lubricant migrate to the running side, cutting friction, wear, noise, and manufacturing effort.

A curved-bottom trough and externally driven conveying element separate settled material from liquid while reducing wear and cleanup time.

Centrifugal valve switching engages outer plates for high start torque, then inner plates for efficient belt conveyor speed regulation.

Whole bin modules are moved by dollies and elevators to speed accurate order picking while using vertical storage space in tight work areas.

Diagonal supports route coupling loads into side drive plates, enabling lighter continuous-trough rail cars with less spillage and maintenance.

A subframe lifts and holds the conveyor belt so individual idler rollers can be replaced faster and more safely without lowering the belt.

A ratcheting roller tensioner keeps harvester conveyor belts taut as they stretch, improving material transport and reducing component wear.

Overhead rail movement and vertical lifting remove aisle dependence, enabling dense stacked storage with faster container retrieval at any level.

A pinhole shutter and CCD sensor replace fragile lens optics to detect cargo container position and velocity in harsh, high-speed handling.
