Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies require manual pressure to insert internal components into 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 swinging mechanisms to guide and position workpieces, ensuring internal components are correctly aligned during insertion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If manual pressure is applied to the internal component before insertion, then the internal component can reach the designated area, but the production process requires manual intervention and work efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomation of internal component positioningVSAvoidmanual pressure requirement

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The movable stop component is designed to swing between a front upper position and a rear lower position, dynamically changing its location to first block the internal component during insertion, then move away to allow rearward movement. This dynamic positioning eliminates the need for manual pressure while ensuring proper component placement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The movable stop component acts as an intermediary mechanism between the guiding slots and the internal component. It temporarily blocks the internal component's forward movement during insertion, then swings away to facilitate rearward movement, replacing the need for manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing guide slots are used, then the external contour of the workpiece is limited, but the internal parts/components are not restricted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveguidance capability for internal componentsVSAvoidpositioning accuracy of internal component

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The guiding function is segmented into two parts: the guiding slots limit the external contour of the workpiece, while the movable stop component specifically restricts the internal component. This segmentation allows each element to perform its specialized guidance function effectively.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable stop component serves as an intermediary restriction element that specifically targets the internal component within the front workpiece. It blocks the internal component's forward movement during insertion into the guiding slots, ensuring proper positioning that the slots alone cannot achieve.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

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.
