Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing deburring tools face difficulties in tilting the spindle body when a moment load is relatively small, making it challenging to reduce the load required for tilting.
Innovation Solution
A tool bracket design that includes a housing with a cylinder chamber, a piston urged by compressible fluid, and a tilting body that can be tilted integrally with the spindle body, allowing the piston to press the tilting body and reduce the tilting load.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a piston is used to press the spindle body toward the distal end, then the spindle body can be tilted, but the moment load makes it difficult to move the piston and reduces tilting efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
A tilting body with a centering portion is introduced as an intermediary between the piston and the spindle body. The centering portion presses the piston with the cylinder axis as an action line, mediating the force transmission and enabling the spindle body to tilt even under small moment loads.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional components: the piston for linear motion, the tilting body with centering portion for force transmission and tilting action, and the spindle body for rotation. This segmentation allows each component to optimize its function, with the tilting body acting as a force amplifier.
2Productivity
If the spindle body is tilted against moment load, then deburring can be performed, but the piston movement becomes difficult and requires excessive force
Solution Approach 1:
The tilting body serves as a mechanical intermediary that transforms the linear piston motion into rotational tilting motion of the spindle body, reducing the direct force requirement on the piston while maintaining deburring effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static force application to a dynamic tilting mechanism. The tilting body enables the spindle body to dynamically adjust its angle while the piston provides continuous linear urging force, optimizing the balance between force application and tilting motion.
