Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual grinding and polishing is used, then flexibility in handling different preform shapes is maintained, but safety performance and work efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in handling different preform shapesVSAvoidsafety performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device divides the preform handling system into modular components: a movable sample disk for positioning, adjustable clamps for securing, and a telescopic member for distance control. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted for different preform shapes while maintaining safety through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sample disk is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing dynamic repositioning to accommodate various preform shapes and sizes. The telescopic member provides dynamic distance adjustment between the sample disk and grinding disk, enabling flexible handling while maintaining consistent safety margins through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If automatic grinding machine is used, then work efficiency is improved, but adaptability to different preform shapes and sizes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework efficiencyVSAvoidsuitability for different preform shapes and sizes
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The device creates a universal grinding and polishing system that can handle multiple preform shapes (cylindrical, rectangular, irregular) through the combination of a movable sample disk, adjustable clamps, and telescopic distance control. This multi-functional design maintains automated efficiency while adapting to diverse preform geometries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically adjusts key parameters including the position of the sample disk, the clamping force applied by the clamps, and the distance between disks via the telescopic member. These parameter changes enable the automated machine to adapt to different preform shapes and sizes while maintaining high work efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If automatic grinding machine is used, then work efficiency is improved, but polishing thickness control deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework efficiencyVSAvoidpolishing thickness control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The control console receives feedback from sensors that monitor the distance between the sample disk and grinding disk, as well as the polishing progress. This feedback enables automatic adjustment of the telescopic member and grinding parameters to maintain precise polishing thickness control throughout the automated process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The device replaces manual measurement and thickness control with automated sensing and control systems. The control console automatically manages the telescopic member's movement and grinding parameters based on sensor data, eliminating the polishing thickness control issues associated with conventional automatic machines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Device complexity

If fixed sample disk is used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different preform positions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to different preform shapes
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The sample disk is designed with movable capabilities including position adjustment and rotational movement, allowing it to adapt to different preform shapes and orientations. This dynamic design maintains reasonable device complexity while significantly improving adaptability to various preform configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A grinding and polishing device includes a main body, a grinding disk, a sample disk, a first console, and a second console. The main body includes a support table and a support column. The support table is coupled to the support column. The grinding disk is fixed on the support table and includes a polishing surface. The sample disk is fixed on the support column and configured to hold a preform. The first console is electrically coupled to the sample disk and used for controlling a distance between the preform held by the sample disk and the grinding disk. The second console is electrically coupled to the grinding disk and used for controlling a working state of the grinding disk for grinding and polishing the preform.
