Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies require manual pressure to insert internal components into rear workpieces, and existing guide slots fail to restrict internal parts, making mechanized production inefficient and impractical.

Innovation Solution

A conveying device with a limit seat body and movable stop component that allows lateral movement, featuring guiding slots, rear stop parts, and avoidance grooves, along with a connecting mechanism to swing and reset, ensuring proper alignment and insertion of internal components without obstructing rearward movement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual pressure is applied to the internal component before insertion, then the internal component can reach the designated area, but the production efficiency decreases and mechanized production becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinternal component positioning precisionVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The movable stop component is positioned in advance at the front end of the guiding slots to block the internal component before insertion. This preliminary blocking action ensures the internal component is properly positioned without requiring manual pressure during the insertion process, enabling mechanized production while maintaining positioning precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Shape

If guide slots are used to limit the external contour of the workpiece, then the external shape is constrained, but the internal parts cannot be restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal workpiece contourVSAvoidinternal component positioning
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The guiding slots are divided into two functional segments: front guiding slots that guide the external contour and rear guiding slots that guide the internal component. The movable stop component is integrated into the front guiding slots to specifically restrict the internal component's forward movement, while the rear guiding slots continue to guide the external workpiece contour, thus solving both requirements simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Manufacturing precision

If a fixed stop component is used to block the internal component, then the internal component movement is restricted, but the rearward movement of the front workpiece is obstructed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinternal component forward movement controlVSAvoidfront workpiece rearward movement
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The stop component is designed to be movable rather than fixed. It can swing between a front upper position (where it blocks the internal component's forward movement) and a rear lower position (where it allows the front workpiece's rearward movement). This dynamic positioning capability resolves the contradiction by providing the necessary blocking function only when needed, while maintaining ease of operation during the insertion process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present invention discloses a conveying device that uses a movable blocking element to block the forward movement of the internal part/component in the front end workpiece, so that the internal part/component cannot move forward. When the movable blocking element swings from top to bottom, it does not obstruct the setting of the movable blocking element and the internal part/component moving backward. Therefore, it is convenient to not obstruct the backward movement of the front end workpiece and has good practicality; The setting of the front left and right avoidance slots and the rear left and right avoidance slots facilitates the external mechanical arm to avoid the front and rear guide slots when clamping and placing workpieces.
