Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack a breaker circuit in board production machines, preventing operation of secondary control devices when the primary control device's power supply is turned off.

Innovation Solution

Install separate breakers for the first and second control devices in a board production machine, allowing the second control device to operate independently when the power supply to the first control device is off.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single breaker is used for the control system, then the system structure is simple, but the second control device cannot operate when the first control device's power is turned off

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperational continuity of second control deviceVSAvoidnumber of breaker circuits

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system's power supply is segmented into multiple independent breaker circuits. The first breaker controls power to the first control device, while the second breaker independently controls power to the second control device. This segmentation allows the second control device to remain operational even when the first control device's power is turned off, resolving the contradiction between operational continuity and system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate breakers are installed for first and second control devices, then the second control device can operate independently, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveindependent operation capabilityVSAvoidbreaker installation complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power distribution system is divided into separate breaker circuits for different control devices. This segmentation enables independent operation of the second control device while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular breaker installation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The breaker system is designed with universal applicability where multiple breakers serve different control devices with potentially different functions. This multi-functionality approach allows the system to accommodate various operational requirements without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A board production machine includes a first control device configured to execute first control related to production of a board, a second control device communicably connected to the first control device and configured to execute second control different from the first control, a first breaker configured to turn on/off power supply to the first control device, and a second breaker configured to turn on/off power supply to the second control device.
