Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional buildup devices face challenges in reducing the load caused by vibration when attempting high-speed rotation of the rotary drive unit, leading to potential motor and component failure, while also struggling to maintain high-speed core lamination efficiency.

Innovation Solution

The buildup device incorporates a servomotor with a damping plate, upper and lower plates, and vibration absorbing members to restrict vibration freedom and absorb vertical vibrations, allowing for high-speed core lamination with reduced load on motor components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If rotation speed of the rotary drive device is increased to achieve high-speed core lamination, then productivity is improved, but vibration increases causing load on motor and components leading to potential failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecore lamination speedVSAvoidmotor and component reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful vibration generated during high-speed rotation into a beneficial effect by using vibration absorbing members (dashpots) that dissipate the vibration energy. The vibration that would normally cause damage is now controlled and utilized to reduce load on the motor while maintaining high rotation speeds, thus improving both productivity and reliability simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Reliability

If vibration is reduced by using vibration absorbing members, then load on motor is reduced improving reliability, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor reliabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of attempting to reduce vibration throughout the entire system, the patent applies vibration absorbing members locally at specific critical points - namely at the die holder and pressurizing holder where vibration generates the most harmful effects. This localized approach reduces motor load and improves reliability without requiring complex system-wide modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
