Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a current manner for separating goods and trays is used, then goods and trays can be separated, but the design is complex and costs are high
Solution Approach 1:
The tray bottom is segmented into multiple finger-shaped plates arranged at intervals, creating plate gaps between them. This segmentation allows the tray to interact with comb teeth in a simplified manner, where the finger-shaped plates can pass through the tooth gaps during separation, eliminating the need for complex separation mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The comb teeth serve as an intermediary element between the tray and the goods. The comb teeth engage with the finger-shaped plates of the tray and the goods simultaneously, facilitating the separation process through a simple mechanical interaction where the tray is lifted and goods are left on the comb teeth.
2Productivity
If a current manner for separating goods and trays is used, then goods and trays can be separated, but efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The separation process achieves continuity through the lifting action of the tray's finger-shaped plates passing through the comb teeth gaps. As the tray is lifted, the goods remain on the comb teeth, creating a continuous and efficient separation without requiring additional time-consuming steps or complex mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The tray is designed with finger-shaped plates that are preliminarily configured to match the comb teeth structure. This preliminary design allows for rapid separation when the tray is lifted, as the finger-shaped plates naturally pass through the tooth gaps, eliminating the need for additional separation actions.
3Ease of manufacture
If finger-shaped plates are used in the tray, then separation process is simplified and costs are reduced, but the tray structure becomes more specific
Solution Approach 1:
The tray bottom is segmented into multiple finger-shaped plates arranged at intervals, creating plate gaps between them. This segmentation allows the tray to interact with comb teeth in a simplified manner, where the finger-shaped plates can pass through the tooth gaps during separation, eliminating the need for complex separation mechanisms.

AI summary
This application relates to the field of intelligent warehousing system technologies, and discloses a tray, a goods picking and placing method, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a warehousing system. The tray includes a base plate and a plurality of finger-shaped plates that extend along a first direction from a first side of the base plate. The plurality of finger-shaped plates are arranged at intervals along a second direction. A plate gap exists between two adjacent finger-shaped plates. The first direction and the second direction are both directions in a horizontal plane parallel to the base plate, and the first direction and the second direction intersect. The base plate and the plurality of finger-shaped plates are jointly configured to carry goods. This application reduces device costs, and improves running efficiency of a handling robot.
