Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional single-table manufacturing process is used, then equipment complexity is low, but process time is long and productivity is low
Solution Approach 1:
The manufacturing system is divided into multiple working tables (first working table, second working table) that can operate independently and simultaneously. Each working table can perform different manufacturing operations on different display panels at the same time, enabling parallel processing and significantly improving productivity without requiring a single complex monolithic device.
Solution Approach 2:
The working tables are designed with multi-functionality, capable of performing various operations including holding display panels, bending operations, and coating operations. The arms and rotators can serve multiple functions across different working tables, reducing the need for dedicated equipment for each operation and improving overall system efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If flexible display bending operation is performed, then display flexibility is achieved, but process time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel is pre-positioned and held in a specific orientation on the working table before the bending operation begins. The arms are pre-configured with the necessary tools and positioning mechanisms are prepared in advance, allowing the bending operation to execute quickly without requiring time-consuming adjustments during the actual bending process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic arms and rotators that can adjust their position, orientation, and movement speed in real-time during the bending operation. This dynamic capability allows the system to optimize the bending path and speed, achieving the required display flexibility while minimizing the time required for the bending process.
