Solution Overview
Problem
Existing recording-medium processing devices with non-adjustable or poorly adjustable folding structures face challenges in achieving accurate and efficient folding processes, leading to reduced accuracy and increased time for adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A recording-medium processing apparatus featuring a mobile body that supports a to-be-pressed portion and a moving mechanism with a driving source, allowing for adjustable positioning of the to-be-pressed portion relative to the mobile body, which enhances the folding process accuracy and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the folding structure is made non-adjustable to simplify the device, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manufacturing precision and accuracy of the folding process deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the to-be-pressed portion movable relative to the mobile body through a moving mechanism. This allows the folding structure to be adjustable rather than fixed, enabling precise positioning of the to-be-pressed portion to achieve accurate folding results while maintaining reasonable device complexity through the use of a mobile body framework.
2Manufacturing precision
If the folding structure is made easily adjustable to improve folding accuracy, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the folding mechanism into distinct functional components: a mobile body that supports the to-be-pressed portion, a moving mechanism that positions the to-be-pressed portion, and a pressing mechanism that applies force. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, achieving high folding accuracy through coordinated movement of segmented parts without excessive overall complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If adjustment is made for the folding process to improve accuracy, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the loss of time for adjustment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by providing a movable to-be-pressed portion that can be pre-positioned relative to the mobile body before the folding operation. The moving mechanism allows the to-be-pressed portion to be adjusted to the correct position in advance, eliminating the need for time-consuming adjustments during the actual folding process and ensuring consistent high accuracy.
