Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing extraction devices are inefficient and prone to damaging micro or nanometer-scale components, especially when they are attached to objects of varying shapes, such as strip-shaped objects, due to the need for high forces that can break the objects during the extraction process.
Innovation Solution
A test component extraction module with a first arm, a second arm, and a base, featuring a suction hole for holding components, where the arms are angled to allow non-horizontal extraction, reducing the force required and preventing damage by lifting one end of the component first and then pulling it away from the surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional extraction devices pick up micro/nanometer-scale components one by one, then the extraction process can be performed, but the efficiency is very low and the components are easy to be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the extraction process into two distinct phases: a picking phase where multiple components are simultaneously grasped, and a lifting phase where components are raised at controlled angles. This segmentation allows high-throughput extraction while maintaining component integrity through controlled force application.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces angular movement in addition to vertical lifting, creating a two-dimensional extraction path. By lifting components at specific angles (different from the angle between arms), the system reduces required force while maintaining extraction efficiency, resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability.
2Force
If extraction devices apply high force to pick up strip-shaped objects, then the objects can be extracted, but the strip-shaped objects are broken due to uneven force
Solution Approach 1:
The invention employs asymmetric arm configuration where the two arms are positioned at different angles to each other. This asymmetry enables differential force application to different parts of the strip-shaped object, preventing uneven stress concentration that would cause breaking, while still providing sufficient total extraction force.
Solution Approach 2:
By introducing angular displacement during the lifting process, the system adds a rotational dimension to the extraction motion. This allows the force to be distributed more evenly across the strip-shaped object, preventing structural failure while maintaining effective extraction.
3Stability of the object's composition
If strip-shaped objects are attached to transportation substrate for stability, then transportation stability is improved, but the extraction device has difficulty picking up the substrate-attached objects
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses dynamic arm movement with variable angles during the extraction process. The arms move from an initial configuration to a final lifting configuration, allowing the system to adapt to the substrate-attached object geometry. This dynamic adjustment enables the extraction device to overcome the additional adhesion forces while maintaining transportation stability.
Solution Approach 2:
By utilizing angular movement in addition to vertical lifting, the system creates a multi-dimensional extraction path that can effectively engage with substrate-attached objects. The angular component allows the extraction device to overcome adhesion forces more effectively, reducing extraction difficulty while preserving transportation stability.

AI summary
The present invention provides a test component extraction module having a first arm, a second arm, and a base. The second arm is connected to the first arm. The base is connected to the second arm and has a suction hole for holding a test component. Wherein a first angle is predetermined between the first arm and the second arm. When the suction hole sucks the test component attached to a surface, and the first arm gradually moves away from the surface, a second angle is between the second arm and the first arm, and the second angle is greater than the first angle.
