Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer numerical control apparatuses face challenges in processing workpieces that exceed their processing range, requiring manual conveyance and leading to potential workpiece deflection and discontinuous patterns.
Innovation Solution
A workpiece conveying device with first and second conveying assemblies arranged to face each other, forming a clamping portion to securely hold the workpiece, and a lifting assembly to adjust the spacing distance for adaptability to various workpiece sizes, ensuring stable and safe conveyance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the workpiece is directly placed under the processing head for processing, then the processing operation is simple, but the workpiece may deflect during conveyance causing discontinuous patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The conveying device is divided into multiple conveying assemblies (first conveying assembly and second conveying assembly) that work together to provide stable support and conveyance for the workpiece, preventing deflection while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The conveying device acts as an intermediary between the workpiece and the processing head, providing a stable conveyance path that prevents workpiece deflection while enabling continuous processing operations
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual conveyance is used for workpieces exceeding processing range, then the workpiece can be moved into position, but workpiece deflection and discontinuous patterns occur
Solution Approach 1:
The conveying device features adjustable spacing between conveying assemblies that can be dynamically modified to accommodate workpieces of different sizes and lengths, while maintaining stable conveyance through controlled movement
Solution Approach 2:
The conveying device is designed with universal applicability to handle workpieces of various dimensions by adjusting the spacing between conveying assemblies, providing both positioning and stable conveyance functions in one system
3Device complexity
If the spacing between conveying assemblies is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to various workpiece sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The spacing between conveying assemblies is made adjustable rather than fixed, allowing the device to adapt to different workpiece sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through controlled modification of one parameter
Solution Approach 2:
The key parameter of spacing between conveying assemblies can be changed to accommodate different workpiece sizes, providing adaptability without requiring complete structural redesign for each workpiece dimension

AI summary
A workpiece conveying device for conveying workpieces to a machining device, includes a first conveying assembly and a second conveying assembly, the first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly being arranged facing to each other, and the first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly both being used for coming into contact with and conveying workpieces. The first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly are spaced apart from each other to form a clamping part, the clamping part being used for clamping the workpieces. The workpiece conveying device can adapt to workpieces of different sizes, thus increasing the degree of adaptation of the workpiece conveying device, and ensuring the working efficiency. Also provided is a computer numerical control apparatus.
