Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual processing is used to remove burrs from elevated floors, then workers can perform processing operations, but production efficiency is low and labor intensity is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidlabor intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processing with an automated milling machine system. The milling machine automatically positions and mills the ejector pin structures on elevated floors, eliminating the need for workers to manually transport and process each floor panel. This substitution dramatically improves production efficiency while reducing labor intensity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The milling machine system is designed to automatically perform the milling operation without continuous human intervention. The machine self-adjusts and self-positions to mill multiple ejector pin structures sequentially, making the system self-sufficient and reducing the need for ongoing manual labor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If manual processing is used for elevated floors, then processing can be performed, but the production process is discontinuous and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The milling machine is designed to continuously mill multiple ejector pin structures in sequence without interruption. The automatic positioning system and multi-cutter configuration allow the machine to process multiple floors back-to-back, creating a continuous production flow that eliminates the discontinuous nature of manual processing and significantly reduces total processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Extent of automation

If multiple milling cutter devices are arranged to process different ejector pin structures, then automation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidequipment structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple milling cutter devices into a single integrated milling machine system. Instead of using separate machines for different ejector pin structures, all milling cutters are merged into one system with a unified control mechanism, achieving high automation while managing device complexity through consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The milling machine is designed as a universal device capable of processing multiple types of ejector pin structures with different barrel diameters. By incorporating multiple adjustable cutters and positioning mechanisms, the single machine can handle various floor panel configurations, reducing the need for multiple specialized devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The invention provides a milling cutter equipment for an elevated floor, which is used for milling a plurality of ejector pin structures on the back of the elevated floor. The milling cutter equipment includes a conveying device and a plurality of milling cutter ejector pin devices. The milling cutter ejector pin device includes an elevating device and a milling cutter set device. The milling cutter set device has a plurality of milling cutter bodies. By the use of the above mentioned devices, the conveying device carries the elevated floor and moves it above the elevating device. The elevating device then pushes the elevated floor away from the conveying device and is contacted against the milling cutter set device, and uses the milling cutter body to move it relative to the milling cutter set device and perform milling to the corresponding ejector pin structure.
