Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If laser systems are used for stripping flat material, then stripping quality is improved, but device cost and operating costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces expensive laser systems with a mechanically simple stripping device comprising a stripping element that mechanically removes insulation material. This substitution achieves comparable stripping quality while dramatically reducing device cost and operating costs, directly resolving the technical contradiction between stripping quality and device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If clamping devices with adjustable distance between clamping points are used, then adaptability to different stripping lengths is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic clamping system where at least one clamping point is movable relative to the other, allowing the distance between clamping points to be adjusted according to the required stripping length. This dynamic adjustment mechanism provides high adaptability while maintaining relatively simple device construction, resolving the contradiction between versatility and device complexity.
3Device complexity
If flat material is not clamped during stripping, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to deflection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies clamping forces locally at specific clamping points positioned along the flat material, rather than uniformly across the entire material. This localized clamping prevents deflection in the stripping region while maintaining simple device construction, resolving the contradiction between device complexity and manufacturing precision.
