Solution Overview

Problem

Existing assembly apparatuses for semiconductor light emitting diodes face challenges in minimizing vibration transmission from the magnet head to the main frame, which affects the durability of the driver and support systems.

Innovation Solution

The assembly apparatus incorporates an anti-vibration system with a weight positioned above the magnet plate assembly, which moves along a circular trajectory with a radius greater than that of the magnet plate assembly, effectively offsetting the vibration of the magnet head.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a magnet head is used to magnetically assemble semiconductor light emitting diodes to a panel, then assembly efficiency is improved, but vibration is generated that affects the durability of the driver and support systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoiddurability of driver and support
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a counterweight that rotates in the opposite direction to the magnet head, generating counter-vibration to offset the vibration produced during magnetic assembly operations. This directly addresses the contradiction by maintaining high assembly efficiency while protecting the driver and support systems from vibration-induced damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes controlled mechanical vibration through the counterweight system to counterbalance the vibration generated by the magnet head. By synchronizing the counterweight's rotation with the magnet head's operation, the system creates opposing vibrational forces that cancel each other out, thereby maintaining reliability during high-productivity assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration

2Manufacturing precision

If the magnet head moves along a circular trajectory to assemble LEDs, then assembly precision is improved, but vibration transmission to the main frame increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly precisionVSAvoidvibration transmission to main frame
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The counterweight is positioned and sized to generate counter-vibration that specifically targets and offsets the vibration transmitted to the main frame during circular trajectory assembly operations, thereby maintaining assembly precision while reducing harmful vibration transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

Solution Approach 2:

The counterweight acts as an intermediary element between the magnet head and the main frame, absorbing and counterbalancing the vibrational energy transmitted during precision assembly operations, thereby protecting the main frame from harmful vibrations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
