Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing welding deformation leveling systems face challenges in accurately measuring and controlling temperatures in the leveling regions due to the interruption caused by the leveller, leading to suboptimal leveling effects and reliance on worker experience.
Innovation Solution
A system with indoor GPS positioning devices and an AGV trolley temperature measuring device, which includes a control chip and temperature measuring module, allows for precise temperature measurement and control in the leveling regions by positioning the device below the levelling area, enabling automatic stabilization of temperatures and leveling time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the leveller interrupts the upper part of the leveling region during leveling operation, then the leveling process can be performed, but it becomes inconvenient to directly measure temperatures in the leveling region by a temperature measuring device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the temperature measuring device on the AGV trolley that operates at a lower height dimension, allowing the device to measure temperatures in the leveling region from below without being blocked by the leveller's interruption of the upper part. This dimensional change enables both the leveling operation and temperature measurement to coexist effectively.
2Measurement precision
If the temperature measuring device is installed around the leveling region, then temperature measurement is possible, but it is inconvenient due to high temperatures and influences leveling effects
Solution Approach 1:
The AGV trolley serves as an intermediary carrier that transports the temperature measuring device to the leveling region. This intermediary approach allows the measuring device to be positioned close to the measurement target while maintaining operational independence, enabling temperature measurement without the device being permanently installed in the high-temperature zone that would interfere with leveling.
3Ease of operation
If leveling time is determined solely by worker experience, then the process is simple to operate, but temperatures may be too high or requirements are not satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automatic feedback control where the temperature measuring device continuously monitors temperatures in the leveling region and transmits data to the control system. The control system uses this feedback information to automatically adjust and control the leveling time, ensuring that temperature requirements are met consistently without relying on worker experience, thereby improving both operational simplicity and leveling quality.
