Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional slicing machines with wire take-up and pay-off devices have a large volume, occupying significant space and making assembly, hoisting, and transportation difficult due to their bulky design.
Innovation Solution
A compact wire take-up and pay-off device design where the rotating shaft is directly connected to the driver, with front and rear stop sleeves and a wire roller that rotate synchronously, eliminating the need for a coupling, thus reducing the device's volume and space requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional wire take-up and pay-off device is used with a coupling connection, then the connection between the driver and rotating shaft is reliable, but the device volume becomes large and occupies significant space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the coupling component from the system by implementing a direct connection between the driver output shaft and the rotating shaft. This extraction of the coupling element eliminates the space it would occupy while maintaining the functional connection, thereby reducing device volume without compromising connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the driver output shaft and the rotating shaft into a single integrated connection, eliminating the need for a separate coupling component. By combining these elements directly, the device achieves compact dimensions while maintaining reliable power transmission from the driver to the rotating shaft.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a large volume wire take-up and pay-off device is used, then the connection and rotation functions are stable, but the slicing machine becomes difficult to assemble, hoist and transport
Solution Approach 1:
By removing the coupling component and implementing a direct connection between the driver and rotating shaft, the device volume is significantly reduced. This makes the slicing machine easier to assemble, hoist, and transport while maintaining stable rotation and wire winding functions through the simplified direct-drive mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The integration of the driver output directly to the rotating shaft creates a more compact unit that is easier to handle during assembly and transportation. The merged design reduces the overall footprint and weight, improving ease of manufacture and deployment while preserving functional stability.
