Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing conveying devices face challenges in effectively removing pressure-sensitive adhesive particles with sulfur content outside the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mass%, leading to warping and defects in pressure-bonded printed materials, particularly in high humidity environments.
Innovation Solution
A conveying device equipped with a conveying member that uses pressure-sensitive adhesive particles with a sulfur content of 0.1 to 0.5 mass% and a removing member to contact and remove residual adhesive particles, ensuring optimal hygroscopic balance and releasability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pressure-sensitive adhesive particles with sulfur content outside the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mass% are used, then the conveying device can operate, but warping and defects occur in pressure-bonded printed materials, particularly in high humidity environments
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameter of the pressure-sensitive adhesive particles by controlling the sulfur content to be within the specific range of 0.1 to 0.5 mass%. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction by preventing excessive moisture absorption that causes warping and defects, while maintaining the adhesive functionality for pressure-bonded printed materials.
2Ease of operation
If a removing member is added to contact and remove residual adhesive particles, then releasability is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The removing member is configured to automatically contact and remove residual adhesive particles from the conveying member during the normal conveying operation. This self-service mechanism enhances releasability without requiring additional manual intervention or complex external systems, thus resolving the contradiction between improved ease of operation and device complexity.

AI summary
A conveying device includes a conveying member that conveys a spray-receiving medium to be sprayed with pressure sensitive adhesive particles having a pressure-induced phase transition property, containing at least a binder resin, and having a sulfur content of 0.1 mass % or more and 0.5 mass % or less relative to an entirety of the pressure sensitive adhesive particles as measured by X-ray fluorescence; and a removing member that contacts the conveying member and removes the pressure sensitive adhesive particles remaining on the conveying member.
