Solution Overview

Problem

The presence of foreign matter in the painting die causes non-uniformity in the paint film thickness, leading to appearance abnormalities in enameled copper wire due to hindered solvent vaporization and foaming.

Innovation Solution

A production apparatus with a first and second paint applicator and die configuration, where the first die captures foreign matter and ensures uniform paint application, followed by a baking section to cure the paint, minimizing appearance abnormalities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single painting die is used to apply enamel paint, then the production process is simple, but foreign matter can be caught in the die causing non-uniform paint film thickness and appearance abnormalities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepainting process structureVSAvoidpaint film thickness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The painting process is divided into two separate stages: a first painting die applies a preliminary paint layer, and a second painting die applies the final paint layer. This segmentation allows each die to function independently, reducing the impact of foreign matter on overall paint film quality and ensuring more uniform thickness throughout the enameled copper wire.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If the paint film thickness is increased to ensure coverage, then appearance quality improves, but solvent vaporization is hindered causing foaming and appearance abnormalities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepaint film thickness uniformityVSAvoidfoaming during baking
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The paint application is segmented into two layers applied at different stages. The first layer provides base coverage, while the second layer ensures uniform final thickness. This segmentation allows for better control of solvent evaporation during baking, preventing foaming while maintaining adequate coverage and uniform appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
