Solution Overview
Problem
In existing heat transfer printing on-line code printing systems, the conveying speeds of conveyor belts and pressing conveyors are often inconsistent due to different power devices driving them, leading to issues like label or card tape sticking, which affects normal operation.
Innovation Solution
A heat transfer printing on-line code printing system where a conveyor belt is driven by a power device, with two roller groups in coaxial transmission, ensuring synchronized operation and adjustment, and an adjustment frame with a guide structure and elastic support components to maintain tension and prevent sticking, ensuring consistent conveying speeds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the conveyor belt and pressing conveyor are driven by different power devices, then each can operate independently, but the conveying speeds become inconsistent causing the label tape or card tape to stick
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the driving functions by making the pressing conveyor dependent on the conveyor belt's power device through coaxial transmission. The pressing conveyor's roller groups are driven directly by the conveyor belt's power device, merging the two independent power sources into one unified drive system. This ensures both conveyors operate at synchronized speeds while maintaining independent operational control through the adjustable transmission mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the operating state of the conveyor belt directly controls the pressing conveyor through the transmission system. The power device adjusts based on the conveyor belt's state, and this adjustment is fed back to the pressing conveyor, ensuring speed consistency and preventing sticking while allowing independent adaptation to different operating conditions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the distance between the pressing conveyor and conveyor belt is adjusted, then the system can adapt to different materials, but the operating states must be stopped and restarted causing workflow interruption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static adjustment process into a dynamic, continuous operation. The pressing conveyor's position and transmission ratio can be adjusted while the system remains in operation through the coaxial transmission mechanism. This allows real-time adaptation to different materials without stopping the workflow, as the transmission system can dynamically accommodate changes in distance and speed requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent prepares the transmission system in advance to handle adjustments during operation. The coaxial transmission mechanism is pre-configured with adjustable components that can be modified without interrupting the power flow or operational state, allowing the system to maintain workflow continuity while adapting to different materials.
3Productivity
If the conveyor belt and pressing conveyor operate at different speeds, then each can optimize for its function, but the label tape or card tape gets stuck affecting normal work
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the speed control functions by linking the pressing conveyor's drive system to the conveyor belt's power device through coaxial transmission. This ensures both conveyors operate at the same speed, maintaining conveying process stability and preventing sticking, while still allowing each to perform its specialized function through its structural design and positioning.
