Cantilevered Rotation Mechanism for Compact Mounting Target Holding Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mounting target working devices face challenges in downsizing the mounting target holding unit due to the complex structure required to support rotation and tilt mechanisms, which increases the device's size and complexity.
Innovation Solution
The mounting target working device incorporates a cantilever-supported rotation and tilt mechanism, where the rotation mechanism is supported by the tilt mechanism, and the tilt mechanism is supported by the lift mechanism, allowing for a simplified structure and reduced size, with both mechanisms being cantilevered in the horizontal direction to minimize upward-downward size increases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the rotation mechanism is supported from both sides by the tilt mechanism, then the structural stability is improved, but the device size increases and complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetric support by changing from bilateral support (both sides) to unilateral support (one side only) of the rotation mechanism by the tilt mechanism. This asymmetric configuration reduces structural complexity and device size while maintaining functional stability through the cantilevered design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent resolves the support structure issue by transitioning to a cantilevered configuration where the rotation mechanism is supported from one side by the tilt mechanism in a horizontal direction. This dimensional reconfiguration eliminates the need for bilateral support while maintaining structural integrity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the rotation mechanism is supported from both sides by the tilt mechanism, then the structural stability is improved, but the mounting target holding unit size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses asymmetric unilateral support instead of symmetric bilateral support, where the rotation mechanism is cantilevered from one side by the tilt mechanism. This reduces the horizontal space required and downsizes the mounting target holding unit while maintaining functional stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent reconfigures the support arrangement by placing the rotation mechanism on a cantilevered extension of the tilt mechanism in the horizontal direction. This dimensional change allows compact positioning of components, reducing the overall holding unit size.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the tilt mechanism and rotation mechanism are supported from both sides, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity and size increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetric cantilevered support to both the tilt mechanism (supported by lift mechanism from one side) and the rotation mechanism (supported by tilt mechanism from one side). This unilateral support approach simplifies the overall mechanism structure while maintaining operational stability through proper structural design.
4Stability of the object's composition
If the working heads are positioned farther from the tilted target, then the structural stability is improved, but the work time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables working heads to approach closer to the tilted target by reconfiguring the support structure to cantilevered design. This allows reduced positioning distance in the horizontal direction while maintaining structural stability, thereby reducing work time without sacrificing stability.

AI summary
A mounting target working device includes a mounting target holding unit that holds a mounting target. The mounting target holding unit includes a lift mechanism that moves the mounting target in an upward-downward direction, a tilt mechanism attached to the lift mechanism and that tilts the mounting target, and a rotation mechanism attached to the tilt mechanism and that rotates the mounting target. The rotation mechanism is supported in a cantilever manner by the tilt mechanism.
