Solution Overview

Problem

Bend pipes prone to shaking or deviation in their running trajectory during the process of conveying by multiple sets of bend pipe conveying structures, affecting the quality of polyethylene composite tape wrapping.

Innovation Solution

An anti-corrosion automatic wrapping device for bend pipes with polyethylene composite tape, featuring a fixed base, rotating ring, sliding block, and blocking member, which limits the bend pipe's movement along an arc coaxial with the limiting shaft, preventing shaking or deviation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If bend pipes are conveyed by multiple sets of bend pipe conveying structures without position limits, then the conveying process is simple, but the bend pipes are prone to shaking or deviation in their running trajectories

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconveying process simplicityVSAvoidrunning trajectory accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing position limiting structures only at critical locations where bend pipes may deviate, rather than constraining the entire conveying path. The limiting shafts are positioned specifically to prevent radial deviation while allowing longitudinal movement, thus maintaining conveying simplicity while improving trajectory accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces limiting shafts as intermediary elements between the bend pipe conveying structures. These shafts act as mediators that guide and constrain the bend pipes, preventing shaking and deviation while allowing smooth conveying. The shafts serve as intermediate components that bridge the gap between simple conveying and precise positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If position limiting structures are added to prevent bend pipe shaking, then running trajectory accuracy improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverunning trajectory accuracyVSAvoidconveying structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the position limiting function into multiple independent limiting shafts distributed along the conveying path, rather than using a single complex constraining mechanism. Each limiting shaft is a simple, independent component that provides localized guidance, reducing overall device complexity while improving trajectory accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using complex active control mechanisms to prevent deviation, the patent employs passive limiting structures that work by restriction rather than adjustment. The limiting shafts invert the approach by defining the allowable path through physical boundaries rather than through active positioning control, simplifying the device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an anti-corrosion automatic wrapping device and method for a bend pipe with a polyethylene composite tape, including a wrapping machine, a plurality of sets of bend pipe conveying structures, a fixed base, a rotating ring, a sliding block, a first arc-shaped pipe, a connecting shaft, and a blocking member. The blocking member is disposed on a same side of the sliding block as the first arc-shaped pipe and connected to the sliding block, wherein when the sliding block slides into the bend pipe, the blocking member is configured to abut against an end face of one end of the bend pipe When the bend pipe supported by the plurality of sets of bend pipe conveying structures is conveyed through the wrapping machine, the bend pipe can push the blocking member to move.
