Injection Molding Display Unit Power Consumption Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display units for injection molding machines do not allow for easy comparison of actual and comparative power consumption data on the same screen, making it difficult for users to adjust and optimize power usage effectively.
Innovation Solution
A display unit that integrates an actual result information display field for measured power consumption and a comparative information display field, allowing users to view and compare power consumption data in the same format on a single screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If current data and predictive data are displayed on separate screens, then each screen can be dedicated to a specific type of information, but the user cannot easily compare actual and comparative power consumption data on the same screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display of actual result information and comparative information onto a single screen, allowing users to view and compare power consumption data simultaneously. This eliminates the need to switch between separate screens and enables direct visual comparison of actual versus comparative power consumption values.
2Loss of information
If a dedicated display screen is used for power consumption, then power consumption information can be displayed prominently, but other important information cannot be displayed together on the same screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display screen into multiple regions: a setting screen portion for injection molding settings, a power screen portion for power consumption information, and a process screen portion for molding process information. This allows different types of information to be displayed simultaneously on the same screen without cluttering the interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The display screen is designed to serve multiple functions by displaying setting information, power consumption data, and process information simultaneously on a single screen. This multi-functional display eliminates the need for separate dedicated screens for each type of information.
Data Source
AI summary
A display unit displays a display screen including information on injection molding, and the display screen displays an actual result information display field that displays actual result information on power consumption measured at a time of performing the injection molding and a comparative information display field that displays comparative information on power consumption of the injection molding to be compared with the actual result information on the power consumption in the same display form as a display form of the actual result information display field together.
