Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mounting deviation correction systems require manual re-mounting of components after deviation correction, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A mounting deviation correction apparatus that includes a contact holding member, movement device, positional information acquisition device, and control devices to automatically correct mounting deviations by moving the contact holding member based on acquired positional information, allowing for in-situ correction without removing the component from the board.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a correction device removes the component from the board and requires manual re-mounting, then the mounting deviation can be corrected, but the labor intensity increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The correction device automatically performs the correction process without requiring manual intervention. The robot holder moves the component to the correct position and the pushing member pushes the component back onto the board automatically, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating the need for manual re-mounting operations
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces manual mechanical operations with an automated robot-based system. The robot holder, positioning mechanism, and pushing member work together as an automated mechanical system to perform the correction, substituting human labor with programmable robotic actions
2Manufacturing precision
If a correction device removes the component from the board, then the mounting deviation can be corrected, but the time required for correction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device acquires positional information of the component before removal and uses this information to pre-calculate the correct positioning. The robot holder moves directly to the accurate position based on this pre-acquired data, eliminating time-consuming measurement and adjustment steps during the correction process
Solution Approach 2:
The automated robot-based positioning system replaces manual measurement and placement operations. The robot holder uses programmable motion control to achieve precise positioning instantly, while the pushing member uses controlled mechanical force to reposition the component, significantly reducing correction time compared to manual methods
3Manufacturing precision
If manual re-mounting is required after correction, then the component can be repositioned, but the labor requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The correction device is designed to perform all correction operations automatically without human intervention. The robot holder grasps and moves the component, the pushing member repositions it on the board, and the entire process is controlled automatically based on positional information, making the system self-operating and eliminating manual labor requirements
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables automatic correction of mounting deviations, reducing labor and increasing efficiency by allowing the apparatus to move and correct components using friction forces, thereby eliminating the need for manual re-mounting.
Implementation Method 1
the abutting surface to push the mounted component... obtain a degree of friction force with which the mounted component moves in the same direction as the contact holding member

AI summary
In a case in which mounting deviation is occurring in a component which is mounted onto a solder surface of a board, a pad jig is pushed against the component, and the mounting deviation of the component is corrected through a friction force between the pad jig and the component by causing the pad jig to move in a horizontal direction.
