Sorting TRIZ Cases
- Focused Illumination System for Optical Sorting
Focused illumination system confines light within detection regions, resolving photonic effectiveness losses from varying object thickness.
- Blueberry Sorting Recirculation Feedback Control
Feedback monitoring of recirculated fruit counts triggers alarms for camera malfunctions, balancing sorting reliability with delivery productivity.
- Cover Plate for Poka-Yoke Bulk Bin Jamming
A cover plate shields protruding poka-yoke mating features inside a bulk bin, preventing component jamming during manual dumping operations.
- Optical Wire Sorting by Shape Using Gabor Filters
Gabor filters process image data to detect wire shape, resolving the contradiction between sorting efficiency and identification accuracy.
- ML Material Sorting via Multi-Sensor Segmentation
Multi-sensor segmentation resolves sorting resolution complexity trade-offs in high-throughput recycling streams.
- Cup Conveyor Curved Path Centrifugal Sorting
A cup conveyor uses a curved path to separate measurement cups and eject straddling products via centrifugal force.
- Conveying System Workpiece Distribution Rotary Mechanism
A conveying system uses a rotary mechanism to displace a belt end along an arc trajectory for distributing workpieces into guide paths.
- Object Transport Identification via Feature Matching
Feature-based identification eliminates machine-readable markers, reducing sorting complexity while maintaining routing accuracy.
- Mail Retention Device with Peripheral Guides
Peripheral guides engage tray sidewalls to orient mailpieces, resolving detachment risks while maintaining organization stability.
- Obfuscated ID Scanner for Secure Package Routing
Scanner assigns obfuscated IDs to packages, processing images to identify routing data without exposing sensitive personal information.
- Suction Device for Selective Product Removal
Extending suction duration for consecutive defective items ensures reliable removal without disrupting the conveyor process.
- Dual Conveyor Sorting System for Automated Object De-stacking
A dual conveyor sorting system uses variable speed belts to separate and orient stacked objects automatically.
- Spring-Bearing Scanner Carrier for Automatic Document Thickness Adjustment
A scanner carrier apparatus uses spring-mounted bogey and head assemblies to maintain parallel scanning orientation across varying document thicknesses.
- Movable Divider for Dynamic Item Sorting
A pocket with a movable divider separates item stacks, allowing simultaneous sorting and removal to eliminate idle time in high-volume industrial processes.
- Gluten-Free Oat Processing via Optical Sorting and Density Separation
Bichromatic cameras detect non-oat grains to remove gluten contamination while maintaining processing speed.
- Oblique Screening Element for Grinding Mill Discharge
Oblique screening openings at the discharge passage prevent blockages from coarse particles while maintaining high comminution productivity.
