Sorting TRIZ Cases

A rotating transport wheel with radial housings orients longitudinal parts for industrial vision inspection.

Automated bin exchanger tilts shuttle bins to transfer mail stacks via gravity, reducing operator handling time and increasing sorting throughput.

Inclined member and deflector structure guide objects through gravity-driven paths to separate items by physical navigation capability.

Rotatable space separators dynamically adjust storage bin configurations, eliminating secondary sorting needs caused by fixed tray limitations.

A flexible suction tool with alternating rims and waists adapts to grab items of varying sizes on a conveyor belt.

Transmitted light detection through translucent tray bases prevents multiple occupancy errors in postal sorting systems.

A poultry packaging system matches individual bird weights to specific customer orders using a recommendation unit for precise portion allocation.

A tray with a moveable bottom transitions between positions to form a continuous surface for item handling.

An agricultural sorting device uses an overturning mechanism to expose product surfaces for comprehensive visual analysis.

Dual cameras with separated illumination zones read marks across the entire package surface while a concave shield prevents light interference between systems.

Segmented deflection elements manage inertial forces during heavy goods transfer, preventing damage while maintaining conveyor speed.

Segmented cross shuttle reduces movement distance and maintenance time while improving press line productivity.

Individual slab detection separates defective units from the production line, allowing non-defective slabs to be regrouped and reducing waste.

Multi-wavelength excitation overcomes carbon black absorption, enabling accurate material sorting.

A sorting system directs glass cullet using non-linear spectral functions derived from multi-wavelength light detection.

A modular package collection device uses a mechanical coupling interface to transfer loads between transport feeders and discharge units.

A central x-ray source and arc detector array resolve low throughput and poor base resolution in container inspection.

Paddle assembly sweeps items from above conveyor surface, reducing sorting failure rates and human intervention needs.

Sorting system segments production from shipping to bundle documents by address, reducing packaging material waste and lowering shipping costs.
