Conveyors TRIZ Cases

Continuous scanning classifies conveyed material as usable ore or waste, helping maintain truck fill efficiency while reducing unnecessary waste transport.

Existing battery-powered vacuum cups can be bulky and awkward; a removable pump unit adds powered suction inside the manual pump cylinder.

A linked overhead vehicle support brings the lifter supports closer while buffers absorb vibration and limit article swaying.

A snub roller and compact take-up path improve sprocket engagement and acceleration for lightweight or sideflexing conveyor belts.

RFID-tagged containers and trolley location signals replace manual tracking, giving production planners real-time inventory visibility.

Grid-mounted dispensing modules shift across X/Y positions to fit different item heights and reduce restocking errors.

Mechanical vending sensors can degrade or be cheated; reflective optical detection tracks item movement and verifies dispensing without product-specific tuning.

Manual paddle rearrangement causes confusion and damage; a movable surface keeps arrival order clear for the next player.

Slide-out placement modules expose upper storage regions for retrieval while preserving compact shelf spacing during normal warehouse operation.

A vertically sliding guide device stabilizes the lifting frame sooner, letting the vehicle move on rails without waiting for full raising.

A robotic gripper transfers slab-shaped articles through temporary storage and onto a supporting frame, limiting breakage during logistics.

Misaligned transfers can push containers into racks; a threshold-force limiter moves away to absorb energy and trigger sensing.

A motorized dolly repositions heavy telescoping gravity conveyors during deployment, reducing injury risk from manual handling.

Real-time pickup estimates reorder automated storage tasks so goods arrive when pickup entities are ready, limiting floor-space accumulation and temperature-control strain.

Round or low-friction objects can stall or reverse on inclines; an integrated flight and protrusion attachment delivers force and detaches for cleaning.

An interlinked support chain uses orthogonal rolling elements and a drive-gear interface to move self-stacking belts along spiral paths.

Arc-shaped and inverted U-shaped grooves transfer irregular cucumbers between chain rods and strip belts while reducing mechanical damage.

Separate clamps release the battery module before the supporting member finishes resetting, reducing collision risk and supporting continuous conveyor operation.

Independent picking and consolidation conveyors let a robotic arm transfer items between containers in parallel, shortening order processing.

Spiral towers buffer coded book blocks so digital forming stations and cover binding machines can run independently, limiting dead time and manual handling.

Sensors assign native identifiers to unmarked meat portions on a conveyor and link process events to the animal source.

Vertical racks, robotic tray handling, seeding, and harvesting support fresh feed production with less labor and better land use.

An inspection station verifies chemical information while two robots transfer containers through temporary storage to reduce handling errors and safety risks.

See how a compact second section houses wheel-drive motors, enabling larger hub motors that improve acceleration and speed.

Independent pulleys let one motor driven roller control separate slave-roller zones, avoiding dedicated drives and reducing maintenance.

Protruding objects can block gripper engagement; overheight sensing flags them before the holding frame moves, reducing stuck-container disruptions.

Swivably connected nest sections receive eggs gently at high speed, reducing collision damage in compact transfer equipment.

A vertical lift raises and rotates the unloading frame, preserving a compact footprint as containers move from loading to unloading.

Passive bearing supports stabilize pivoted pouches and create a defined opening while reducing mechanical complexity and maintenance needs.

Signal-strength measurements from known transceivers locate lost storage vehicles without shutting down the grid.

A snap-in base with two parallel prongs secures conveyor rollers and hinge rods, improving component retention and alignment during operation.

A rotating fork assembly mounts to industrial-truck forks to invert heavy roll containers while reducing manual handling and device cost.

Slidable and expansion frame modules let guide rails accommodate thermal movement while anti-derailment guides reduce carriage derailment risk.

Protruding members enter flat-wire belt openings to dislodge trapped product, reducing contamination after surface scraping.

Rotatable grid-member connections accommodate thermal and seismic movement while limiting oscillation without extra storage-space bracing.

Driven roller elements transfer traction through friction, enabling sticky materials to move continuously through steep or vertical conveyor sections.

Closely spaced roller apertures reduce friction on carried items, while wider spacing leaves room for sprocket cavities and torque transfer.

A pivoting discharge section and cutting device eject detected foreign bodies from harvested crops while limiting material waste.

Hot-melt adhesive bonds the non-woven cutting layer to reinforcing fabric, limiting delamination and retaining suction air permeability.

Embedded inserts mount conveyor guide shafts in concrete side walls, avoiding a separate metal chassis for simpler confined-space installation.

Uneven tension and belt misalignment in heated panel lines are addressed through sensors, adjustable force, and synchronized feedback control.

A stationary buffer stores multiple picked articles before one transfer moves them into a single load carrier, reducing conveyor and buffer requirements.

Uneven belt tension can cause panel faults and wear; transducer feedback enables continuous force and position monitoring.

A fork-mounted rotating section turns heavy roll containers with stable base engagement, reducing manual effort and costly lifting requirements.

Asymmetric tooth lengths and dense notches reduce link gaps, helping conveyor chains carry small objects through sharp curves.

Venturi suction and Bernoulli ejection modules handle warped, permeable, and impermeable substrates for precise stacking and separation.

Radial clamping receptacles hold capsules securely while preserving track assignment for ordered transfer and downstream testing.

Actuators reposition conveyor guides from article shape profiles, maintaining positive control while reducing manual adjustment downtime.

A vacuum absorber stabilizes display panels during transfer, maintaining uniform surface tension for consistent coating formation.

A dampening pad cushions high-speed impacts at the backstop, keeping delivery items oriented and reducing manual realignment.
