Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rotary equipment used in battery can manufacturing requires manual inspection and correction of forming head positions, which is time-consuming and costly, and hinders real-time quality control.
Innovation Solution
A rotary-equipment correction device with a first correction unit to collectively adjust the positions of multiple forming heads and a second correction unit to individually correct abnormal forming heads, utilizing a combination of correction cams, eccentric shafts, and position sensing units to automate the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual inspection and correction of forming head positions is performed, then positioning accuracy can be achieved, but the process requires long time (approximately 8 hours) and high cost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-diagnosis and self-correction by automatically detecting forming head position deviations through sensors and adjusting positions using correction units, eliminating the need for manual inspection and correction operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical inspection and adjustment operations with an automated system combining sensors (optical/electronic detection) and automated correction mechanisms, substituting human labor with mechanical-electrical-integrated automation
2Manufacturing precision
If manual correction of forming heads is performed, then position errors can be corrected, but real-time quality control cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors forming head positions using sensors and feeds this information back to the control unit, which automatically adjusts positions in real-time, enabling continuous quality control without interrupting production
Solution Approach 2:
The automated correction system operates continuously during production, constantly detecting and correcting position deviations without stopping the manufacturing process, maintaining uninterrupted quality control
3Reliability
If skilled workers manually inspect and correct rotary equipment, then errors can be detected and corrected, but the process is costly and difficult to perform in real time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces skilled workers' manual inspection and judgment with automated sensors and control systems that objectively detect position deviations and execute corrections, eliminating human labor while maintaining detection reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-diagnosis and self-correction by automatically detecting forming head position deviations through sensors and adjusting positions using correction units, eliminating the need for manual inspection and correction operations
