Linear Cable Conveyor Layout for Flexible Wire Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric wire processing systems face design and arrangement limitations due to pitch conveyance, leading to decreased equipment efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a linear conveyor module with a guide rail and multiple sliders that can move and stop at any desired position, allowing for flexible design and arrangement of processing devices without being restricted by conveyance pitch.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pitch conveyance is used to convey the electric wire, then the electric wire can be conveyed through the processing system, but the processing device must be designed and arranged in accordance with a conveyance pitch, which deteriorates equipment efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional pitch conveyance mechanism with a linear conveyor module that uses a guide rail and sliders. This substitution eliminates the constraint of fixed pitch intervals, allowing processing devices to be arranged flexibly along the guide rail based on processing requirements rather than being limited by conveyance pitch, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The linear conveyor module enables dynamic positioning of the electric wire along the guide rail, with sliders that can stop at various positions. This dynamic capability allows processing devices to be optimally positioned according to processing needs rather than fixed pitch constraints, improving both design freedom and equipment efficiency

AI summary
An electric wire processing system includes a plurality of processing devices arranged in order of steps and a linear conveyor module configured to convey an electric wire to be processed. The linear conveyor module includes a first slider pair including two sliders configured to move back and forth in a first section and hold both ends of one electric wire, and a second slider pair including two sliders configured to move back and forth in a second section and hold the both ends of the one electric wire, and ranges of the first section and the second section are set based on a processing time in each section.
