Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual placement of workpieces on adhesive tape is used, then操作简单性 is improved, but alignment precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a jig as an intermediary device between the workpieces and the adhesive tape. The jig with parallel grooves serves as a mediator that automatically aligns workpieces during placement, eliminating the need for manual alignment while maintaining ease of operation. The grooves physically guide the workpieces into proper positions, resolving the contradiction between easy operation and alignment precision.
2Manufacturing precision
If image capture and measurement processing is used for alignment, then alignment precision is improved, but processing efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The jig performs alignment automatically through its groove structure without requiring external measurement and processing operations. The parallel grooves self-align the workpieces through physical constraints, eliminating the need for image capture and computational processing. This self-aligning mechanism maintains high processing efficiency while achieving precise alignment.
3Device complexity
If workpieces are not precisely aligned, then processing can proceed without alignment tools, but workpiece scattering occurs during processing
Solution Approach 1:
The jig is segmented into multiple parallel grooves, each designed to hold and align individual workpieces. This segmentation allows the jig to handle multiple workpieces simultaneously while maintaining precise alignment for each, preventing scattering during processing without requiring complex overall system design.

AI summary
A jig for assisting in aligning a plurality of rectangular workpieces is in the form of a plate having a plurality of grooves parallel to each other. The grooves have respective one ends aligned straight with each other and have a depth smaller than the thickness of the workpieces. After the workpieces have been fitted in the respective grooves, an adhesive tape is applied to the workpieces and the workpieces are transferred from the jig to the adhesive tape, so that the workpieces are arrayed in alignment with each other on the adhesive tape. The workpieces on the adhesive tape are prevented from being placed in different positions and orientations, and can subsequently be processed efficiently.
