Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The battery production apparatus has low stacking efficiency due to inefficient feeding of electrode plates, leading to reduced production efficiency and increased scrap rates caused by misalignment and deformation issues.
Innovation Solution
A feeding device with a combination of first and second linear driving mechanisms and an adjusting mechanism, allowing for double feeding thrust, improved feeding acceleration, and precise posture adjustment of the delivery mechanism, reducing intermediate connecting portions and enhancing stability and precision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single linear driving mechanism is used for feeding, then the device complexity is reduced, but the feeding acceleration and productivity are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two linear driving mechanisms working in parallel to provide dual feeding thrust, achieving higher feeding acceleration and improved productivity while maintaining reasonable device complexity through integrated design
2Manufacturing precision
If a separate adjusting mechanism is added for posture adjustment, then the feeding precision is improved, but the device complexity and structural space increase
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting mechanism is designed to perform multiple functions: it adjusts the posture of the delivery mechanism, provides structural support, and integrates with the driving system, thereby improving feeding precision without significantly increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The adjusting mechanism introduces rotational adjustment around a first axis perpendicular to the feeding direction, adding a new dimension of control for posture adjustment and enabling precise positioning of the delivery mechanism
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple intermediate connecting portions are used to connect driving mechanisms, then the adaptability is improved, but the structural space and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The delivery mechanism is rotatably connected to the first output end around a first axis perpendicular to the feeding direction, enabling posture adjustment in a different dimension and reducing the need for multiple intermediate connecting portions

AI summary
A feeding device may include a first linear driving structure, a second linear driving structure, a delivery structure, and an adjusting structure, where the first linear driving structure may include a first output end configured to reciprocate in a first direction; the second linear driving structure may include a second output end configured to reciprocate in a second direction; one end of the delivery structure may be rotatably connected to the first output end around a first axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the first direction; and the adjusting structure may be configured to connect the other end of the delivery structure to the second output end, such that the delivery structure can be driven by the second output end to rotate around the first axis.
