Solution Overview

Problem

Existing carrier bodies for grinding tools face issues with excessive expansion under centrifugal forces and inadequate rigidity against lateral forces, particularly when trying to minimize weight while maintaining stability.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating recesses in the webs connecting the hub ring and casing ring allows for increased spatial coverage without weight increase, enhancing strength against centrifugal forces and rigidity against lateral forces, and the geometry of these features influences the dynamic behavior of the carrier body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If the carrier body is designed with minimal material to reduce weight, then weight is reduced, but strength against centrifugal forces and rigidity against lateral forces deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecarrier body weightVSAvoidstrength against centrifugal forces
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The web is segmented by introducing recesses that divide it into multiple partial webs. This segmentation allows the web to cover a larger spatial area while maintaining structural integrity through the distributed partial webs, resolving the contradiction between weight reduction and strength enhancement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The recesses create a three-dimensional structural feature in the web, transforming it from a simple planar connection to a multi-dimensional geometry. This dimensional change allows the web to achieve both weight reduction and improved strength by optimizing material distribution in multiple directions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Weight of moving object

If the carrier body is designed with minimal material to reduce weight, then weight is reduced, but rigidity against lateral forces deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecarrier body weightVSAvoidrigidity against lateral forces
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The web is divided into partial webs through recesses, creating a segmented structure that maintains rigidity while reducing material usage. The multiple partial webs work together to resist lateral forces effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The web structure functions as a composite configuration where multiple partial webs form an integrated load-bearing system. This composite approach allows the structure to achieve high rigidity with reduced material mass

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Ease of manufacture

If the web geometry is simplified to ease manufacturing, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but the ability to influence dynamic behavior deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweb manufacturing complexityVSAvoiddynamic behavior influence
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The recesses introduce localized geometric features in specific areas of the web without complicating the overall manufacturing process. These local modifications are sufficient to significantly influence the dynamic behavior of the entire carrier body

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
