Adjustable Dropping Ball Test Jig for Display Samples
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dropping ball test systems are not adaptable to different sample sizes, requiring separate fixing jigs for each type of touch screen or sample, which increases manufacturing costs and limits versatility.
Innovation Solution
A jig with adjustable fixing rods that enclose a test region corresponding to the sample's shape, allowing the test region to be varied in size by sliding rods connected end to end, enabling the dropping ball test for various sample sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-size fixing jig is used for dropping ball test, then the test can be performed on samples of that specific size, but the jig cannot accommodate samples of different sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device employs adjustable rods that can move between fixed positions to dynamically adapt the test region size. The rods are equipped with sliders that can be positioned at different locations along the rod length, allowing the device to transition from a static to a dynamic configuration that matches different sample dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing device is divided into multiple independent adjustable rods rather than a single rigid structure. Each rod can be independently adjusted to the required position, enabling modular adaptation to different sample sizes. This segmentation allows the device to maintain simplicity while achieving versatility.
2Reliability
If separate fixing jigs are manufactured for each sample version, then each jig is optimized for its specific sample type, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple sample versions through adjustment mechanisms. Instead of manufacturing separate dedicated jigs for each sample type, a single multi-functional device with adjustable rods and sliders can be configured to accommodate different sample dimensions, thereby reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining testing accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The device allows changing the geometric parameters of the test region by adjusting the position of rods and sliders. This parameter adjustment capability enables the same physical device to be adapted to different sample sizes without manufacturing new components, thus reducing production costs while preserving testing reliability.
3Productivity
If multiple versions of fixing jigs are maintained, then each sample type can be tested with its optimized jig, but the device complexity and inventory requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device transitions from a static, version-specific design to a dynamic, adjustable design. The rods and sliders can be reconfigured for different sample types, allowing a single device to replace multiple version-specific jigs. This maintains testing efficiency while reducing the number of device versions that need to be managed.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple version-specific fixing jig functions are merged into a single universal fixing device. By combining the capabilities of what would otherwise require separate jigs into one adjustable platform, the device reduces inventory requirements and simplifies management while maintaining the ability to efficiently test different sample types.
