Detachable Operation Head for Substrate Mounting Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing substrate-related-operation performing apparatuses lack the ability to easily replace and maintain operation performing heads, limiting their usability and applicability across various operations and substrate types.
Innovation Solution
A substrate-related-operation performing apparatus with detachably attached operation performing heads, allowing for easy attachment and detachment without tools, and the ability to replace heads with different constructions for different operations, along with an individual-information recording medium and head-related-information recognizing portion to manage and calibrate the heads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If operation performing heads are fixed and not replaceable, then the apparatus structure is simple and reliable, but the usability and applicability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The operation performing head is segmented from the main apparatus body, allowing it to be detached and replaced. The head includes a holder portion with a holding groove that receives a chuck, enabling independent replacement of the head while maintaining the integrity of the main apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus is designed to accommodate multiple types of operation performing heads through a universal mounting interface. The holder portion and holding groove structure allows different heads with different constructions to be attached to the same apparatus, enabling it to perform various operations on different substrate types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If operation performing heads are replaceable, then the usability and applicability are enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism is segmented into a holder portion fixed to the apparatus and a head portion with a chuck that can be attached or detached. The holding groove provides a simple receptacle for the chuck, avoiding complex fastening mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding groove acts as an intermediary structure between the apparatus and the head. It provides a standardized interface that simplifies the attachment process while maintaining structural integrity, serving as a mediator that reduces the complexity of direct connection.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of operation performing heads are prepared, then the apparatus can perform various operations, but the device complexity and maintenance difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The head is segmented as a separate, replaceable component with a standardized interface. This allows maintenance personnel to easily detach and replace heads without disassembling the entire apparatus, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and time.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows for easy replacement of heads, enabling a discarding and recovering maintenance strategy where worn or damaged heads can be quickly removed and replaced with functional ones, minimizing apparatus downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures.
