Solution Overview

Problem

Existing adhesive tape tearing mechanisms for double-glass photovoltaic assemblies face challenges in accurately clamping and tearing adhesive tape remnants due to their variable postures, leading to potential breakage and failure in tearing off the tape.

Innovation Solution

The adhesive tape tearing module incorporates a remnant smoothing mechanism with up-down elastic floating clamping plates and a material clamping mechanism with a hook-back type design, along with a rear side baffle to correct and clamp adhesive tape remnants in various postures, ensuring reliable tearing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the adhesive tape tearing clamp moves directly to a set position and performs a direct clamping action, then the tearing operation is simple and fast, but the clamp jaws will not clamp the adhesive tape remnant when it is skewed or cocked, resulting in failure to tear off the adhesive tape

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetearing operation speedVSAvoidclamping accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a remnant smoothing mechanism that performs preliminary action by flattening the adhesive tape remnant before the clamping action. The smoothing mechanism includes a smoothing plate that moves along the adhesive tape remnant to flatten it in advance, ensuring the clamp jaws can successfully clamp the remnant regardless of its initial curled or skewed state, thereby resolving the contradiction between fast direct clamping and reliable clamping accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If a cylinder-driven adhesive tape tearing clamp is used, then the structure is simple, but the instantaneous pulling force applied on the adhesive tape is too large, increasing the risk of the adhesive tape being broken

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveclamp structure simplicityVSAvoidadhesive tape integrity

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional cylinder-driven clamp with a motor-driven adhesive tape tearing clamp that performs curved actions through coordinated movement. The motor-driven system provides dynamic control over the clamping force and movement trajectory, allowing the clamp to follow the adhesive tape remnant's shape and apply force gradually rather than instantaneously, thus reducing the risk of tape breakage while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a remnant smoothing mechanism as an intermediary between the clamp and the adhesive tape remnant. The smoothing mechanism includes a smoothing plate that contacts and flattens the remnant before clamping, acting as a mediator that prepares the tape for gentle clamping and tearing, thereby preventing direct excessive force application that would cause breakage

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If the adhesive tape tearing clamp performs a direct clamping action without smoothing, then the operation is fast, but it fails to accurately or effectively clamp the adhesive tape remnant in various curled postures

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetearing operation efficiencyVSAvoidadaptability to different adhesive tape states

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the motor-driven adhesive tape tearing clamp with multi-functionality to handle various adhesive tape remnant postures. The clamp can perform curved actions and coordinate with the smoothing mechanism to adapt to different curled states of the remnant, making the system universal and versatile for all common adhesive tape configurations while maintaining efficient operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
