Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In battery production, existing glue coating equipment faces instability in glue delivery due to the need for long glue hoses, which lead to inaccurate dosing and coiling, resulting in unstable glue supply during nozzle movement.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a support device with a movable arm that rotates relative to a bracket, allowing the glue hose to move under tension and follow the glue nozzle, eliminating the need for long hoses and ensuring accurate dosing and stability in glue delivery, along with an elastic device to prevent damage and a guide rail for multi-degree freedom movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the glue hose is made long to ensure the glue nozzle can move to multiple positions, then the coverage area is improved, but the glue delivery stability deteriorates due to coiling and inaccurate dosing
Solution Approach 1:
The support device includes a movable arm that can rotate and extend to dynamically follow the glue nozzle device during movement. This dynamic support structure allows the glue hose to be properly positioned at different locations without being excessively long, thereby maintaining both coverage area and glue delivery stability
Solution Approach 2:
The support device acts as an intermediary between the glue source and the moving glue nozzle. By providing active support through the movable arm, the system eliminates the need for a long passive hose, ensuring stable glue delivery while enabling the nozzle to reach multiple positions
2Manufacturing precision
If the glue hose is kept short to improve dosing accuracy, then the glue delivery precision is improved, but the mobility of the glue nozzle deteriorates as it cannot reach distant positions
Solution Approach 1:
The movable arm with rotation and extension capabilities provides dynamic support that adapts to the nozzle's position requirements. This allows the use of a short glue hose while maintaining dosing accuracy, as the arm compensates for the limited hose length by moving with the nozzle
Solution Approach 2:
The support device performs multiple functions: it supports the glue hose, follows the nozzle movement, and enables the system to maintain both short hose length for precision and extended reach for mobility through the movable arm's rotation and extension
3Device complexity
If a fixed support structure is used for the glue hose, then the structural simplicity is improved, but the glue delivery stability during nozzle movement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support device transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic one with a movable arm that can rotate and extend. This dynamic capability allows the support structure to follow the nozzle during movement, maintaining glue delivery stability without requiring excessive structural complexity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution ensures stable and accurate glue delivery by allowing the glue hose to move in sync with the nozzle, preventing coiling and ensuring precise dosing, thereby improving the overall quality and efficiency of the glue coating process.
Implementation Method 1
when the movable arm rotates relative to the bracket under the gravity of the glue hose, the glue hose is enabled to move following the glue nozzle device
Implementation Method 2
The first end and the second end of the elastic device are telescopically arranged. When a force is applied on the glue hose, the elastic device moves in the direction of the applied force, and it automatically returns after the applied force is removed
