Blade Cutting Layout for Fast Multi-Material Blade Formation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional blade cutting device is cumbersome and prone to inaccuracies when forming complex stamping and ruling blades, as it requires selecting from a large number of band-shaped materials, leading to potential failures in accurately embedding blades into the stamping die.
Innovation Solution
A blade cutting device with a material accommodation section, a band-shaped material machining section, and a control section that simplifies the selection and cutting process by accommodating different types of band-shaped materials and accurately cutting them to predetermined lengths for forming blades.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If band-shaped materials are selected from a large number of types to form complex blades, then the ability to form complex stamping and ruling blades is improved, but the complexity of material selection and embedding process increases, leading to potential inaccuracies
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the large number of band-shaped materials into multiple storage chambers, each dedicated to a specific material type. This segmentation organizes the materials systematically, making selection straightforward by simply accessing the appropriate chamber rather than searching through a large unorganized collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage chambers are pre-configured with specific band-shaped materials before the cutting process begins. This preliminary arrangement of materials in designated chambers eliminates the need for complex selection during operation, as the correct material is already in position for immediate use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of band-shaped materials are used to form various stamping and ruling blades, then the versatility of blade formation is improved, but the time required for material selection and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
Materials are pre-positioned in specific storage chambers before the cutting operation. This preliminary arrangement eliminates the need for time-consuming material selection during the cutting process, as the correct material is already in place for immediate processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage system is segmented into multiple chambers, each containing a specific type of band-shaped material. This segmentation allows for rapid access to the required material by simply accessing the predetermined chamber, significantly reducing material selection time compared to searching through a single large storage area.
3Area of stationary object
If the material accommodation section is positioned away from the machining section for compactness, then the device footprint is reduced, but the time and complexity of material transfer increases
Solution Approach 1:
A feed unit acts as an intermediary mechanism between the storage chambers and the cutting section. This feed unit automatically transfers band-shaped materials from the storage chambers to the cutting position, eliminating the need for manual material handling and reducing the time and complexity of material transfer despite the spatial separation.

AI summary
A blade cutting device includes a material accommodation section having a plurality of accommodation chambers for accommodating the band-shaped materials used to form blades, in such a manner as to be sorted by type; a band-shaped material machining section having a feed unit for feeding a band-shaped material pulled out from a predetermined accommodation chamber and a cutting unit for cutting the band-shaped material into a predetermined length for forming blades; and a control section for causing the material accommodation section to move so as to locate the predetermined accommodation chamber at a position facing the band-shaped material machining section.
