Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing artificial turf yarn manufacturing devices struggle to produce yarns with multiple characteristics similar to natural turf, and the bonding of multiple raw solutions is insufficient when manufactured separately.
Innovation Solution
A device that integrates a 1-liquid supply pipe, a 2-liquid supply pipe, and a confluence unit to continuously manufacture a double-sided yarn, allowing 1-liquid and 2-liquid to join and form a yarn with improved bonding properties by controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple raw solutions are injected into spatially separated molds in separate pipes, then the manufacturing structure is established, but the bonding of the two or more raw solutions is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple liquid supply functions into a single integrated manifold structure that distributes multiple raw solutions through a unified system. This allows two or more raw solutions to be supplied through spatially separated pipes that converge at a common injection point, ensuring sufficient bonding while maintaining structured distribution. The manifold integrates the supply of different liquids into one coordinated system rather than using completely separate injection mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a structure in which yarns are formed from two or more raw solutions is applied, then the yarns can have multiple characteristics, but the bonding of the two or more raw solutions is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing spatially separated pipes for different raw solutions that maintain their individual flow paths until the injection stage. Each pipe can be optimized for its specific liquid's properties (viscosity, flow rate requirements), while the convergence at the injection point ensures proper mixing and bonding. This localized optimization along the flow path enables multiple yarn characteristics while ensuring reliable bonding where the solutions meet.
3Ease of manufacture
If the raw solutions are attached in separate pipes after injecting into spatially separated molds, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the bonding properties are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a manifold as an intermediary component that connects multiple separate pipe systems to a unified injection point. This intermediary structure maintains the simplicity of separate pipe routing for each raw solution while ensuring that all solutions converge properly at the injection stage. The manifold acts as a mediator that coordinates the flow from multiple sources into a bonded yarn structure, resolving the contradiction between process simplicity and bonding quality.
