Solution Overview

Problem

Copper foil defects occur during transportation due to vibrations and shaking, which are transferred through the accommodation apparatus supporting the core from both sides of the copper foil.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus for accommodating copper foil includes an accommodation body with support and damper portions to absorb vibrations and shaking, using elastically deformable materials like rubber or urethane to reduce the transfer of shocks to the copper foil.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the core is supported directly by rigid support portions, then the structural stability is improved, but vibrations and shaking are transferred to the copper foil causing defects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidvibrations and shaking
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A damper portion is introduced as an intermediary element between the support portion and the core. This damper portion absorbs vibrations and shaking through elastic deformation, preventing these harmful factors from being transferred to the copper foil while maintaining structural stability through the support portion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The support system transitions from a purely rigid structure to a compliant structure by incorporating the damper portion. This changes the mechanical parameters of the support system, allowing it to absorb vibrations through elastic deformation while maintaining the necessary structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If damper portions are added to absorb vibrations, then the protection of copper foil is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibrations and shakingVSAvoidapparatus structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The damper portion is designed as a flexible elastic body that can be integrated into the support structure. This flexible element absorbs vibrations effectively while maintaining a relatively simple overall apparatus structure, avoiding excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The support system becomes a composite structure combining the rigid support portion with the elastic damper portion. This composite design allows the system to benefit from both the structural stability of rigid materials and the vibration-absorbing properties of elastic materials without significantly increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
