Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cornet cone package cutting machines fail to adequately stretch and straighten package bobbins, leading to errors and reduced number of cut pieces due to insufficient stretching during the cutting process.

Innovation Solution

A cornet cone package cutting machine with a bobbin cylinder, stretching elevation, front and rear stretching cylinders, lower stretching cylinder, straightening cylinders, compression piece, and compression chamber to stretch, straighten, and cut package bobbins into precise slices for cornet cones.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If package bobbins are cut without stretching and straightening, then the cutting process is simpler and faster, but cutting errors occur and the number of cut pieces decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of cut piecesVSAvoidcutting accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by stretching and straightening the package bobbin before the cutting operation. The stretching cylinders expand the bobbin diameter and the straightening cylinders align the package edges vertically, ensuring the package is properly prepared for accurate cutting. This pre-processing eliminates cutting errors and maximizes the number of usable pieces per bobbin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If stretching and straightening processes are added to the cutting machine, then cutting accuracy improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting accuracyVSAvoidmachine structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions (stretching, straightening, and cutting) into a single integrated machine. The stretching cylinders and straightening cylinders are incorporated within the same machine structure as the cutting mechanism, allowing all operations to be performed sequentially on the package bobbin without requiring separate equipment. This reduces overall system complexity while maintaining high cutting accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of time

If package bobbins are not stretched before cutting, then the processing time is shorter, but the yield of cut pieces is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing timeVSAvoidnumber of cut pieces
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous useful action by performing stretching, straightening, and cutting in a seamless sequence within a single machine. The package bobbin moves continuously through the stretching cylinders, then through the straightening cylinders, and finally through the cutting mechanism without interruption. This continuous process minimizes idle time while maximizing the yield of cut pieces by ensuring proper preparation before cutting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
