Component Mounting Apparatus Power Sharing via Transmission Connector
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing component mounting systems require dedicated electric power sources for each lane, increasing costs when trying to implement systems with multiple lanes.
Innovation Solution
A component mounting system where a single electric power source in one apparatus transmits power through dedicated power transmission lines and connectors to another apparatus arranged back-to-back, eliminating the need for a separate power source in the secondary apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If dedicated electric power sources are provided for each lane in a multi-lane component mounting system, then the system can operate independently and reliably in each lane, but the system cost increases due to redundant power infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the power infrastructure by providing a single electric power source that serves multiple lanes through power transmission lines and connectors. The first lane's power source transmits power through a power transmission connector to the second lane, eliminating redundant power sources while maintaining system functionality across multiple lanes.
Solution Approach 2:
The electric power source in the first component mounting apparatus is designed to serve multiple functions by not only powering the first lane but also transmitting power to the second lane through the power transmission connector. This universal power source replaces what would traditionally require separate dedicated power sources for each lane.
2Device complexity
If a single electric power source is shared across multiple lanes, then the system cost decreases by eliminating redundant power infrastructure, but the power transmission reliability and stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a power transmission connector as an intermediary component that facilitates reliable power transmission from the first lane's power source to the second lane. This intermediary ensures stable electrical connection and power delivery, maintaining transmission reliability while enabling power sharing across multiple lanes.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables the creation of a component mounting system with two lanes at a lower cost by sharing the electric power source and reducing redundant power infrastructure.
Implementation Method 1
a power transmission connector configured to output the electric power transmitted by the first power transmission line to another component mounting related apparatus which is placed back-to-back with the component mounting related apparatus

AI summary
A component mounting related system is provided with a first component mounting related apparatus, a second component mounting related apparatus, an electric power source provided in the first component mounting related apparatus, a first power transmission line provided in the first component mounting related apparatus, a power transmission connector, and a second power transmission line. The electric power source supplies an electric power for actuating the first component mounting related apparatus. The first power transmission line transmits the electric power in the first component mounting related apparatus. The power transmission connector transmits the electric power transmitted by the first power transmission line to the second component mounting related apparatus. The second power transmission line transmit, in the second component mounting related apparatus, the electric power supplied from the first component mounting related apparatus through the power transmission connector.
