Button Loading Jig Structure for Accurate Stocker Loading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing button product manufacturing devices face challenges in efficiently loading and managing components such as front lids and back lids into stockers, leading to inefficiencies in the production process.
Innovation Solution
A button member loading jig is introduced, featuring a base with protruding supports that align along a specific direction to facilitate the orderly placement and support of button members, allowing for easy loading into stockers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If front lids and back lids are alternately laminated and stored in a cylindrical stocker, then storage capacity is improved, but loading complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The loading jig is divided into multiple support portions that can independently hold different button members. Each support portion acts as a separate unit, allowing simultaneous loading of multiple components (front lids, back lids, and buttons) in an organized manner, thereby reducing loading complexity while maintaining storage capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The loading jig serves as an intermediary tool between the operator and the stocker. It provides a structured platform with multiple support portions that facilitate the systematic placement and organization of button members during loading, simplifying the loading process while enabling efficient storage
2Productivity
If multiple button members are loaded into stocker, then productivity is improved, but error rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each support portion on the loading jig is designed with specific local characteristics to hold particular types of button members. The support portions provide differentiated support structures that ensure correct positioning and orientation of each component, reducing loading errors while enabling simultaneous loading of multiple members for improved productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The loading jig allows for preliminary organization and positioning of button members on its support portions before actual loading into the stocker. This preliminary arrangement ensures correct placement and reduces the likelihood of errors during the loading process, while enabling batch loading to improve productivity
