Modular Automatic Winder Base Member Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic winders for rewinding spun yarn lack modular support and easy mounting capabilities, leading to inefficiencies in maintenance and versatility in handling different winding types.
Innovation Solution
The automatic winder is designed with a base member that supports multiple modules via distinct mounting mechanisms, allowing for stable and individual mounting of yarn winding, joining, and supply exchanging modules, reducing weight and complexity, and enabling easy selection of various winding units and devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If modules are integrated into a single unit, then structural stability is improved, but mounting workability and maintenance efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The winder unit is divided into separate modules (yarn supply exchanging module, yarn winding module, yarn joining module) that can be individually mounted and maintained while maintaining overall structural stability through standardized mounting interfaces on the base member
2Ease of operation
If multiple modules are individually mounted on the base member, then mounting workability and maintenance efficiency are improved, but structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base member is designed with multiple receiving surfaces that can support different types of modules, creating a universal mounting platform that reduces overall structural complexity while enabling individual module mounting and maintenance
3Device complexity
If conventional integrated configuration is used, then structural simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to different winding types deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows dynamic reconfiguration by enabling different module combinations (yarn supply exchanging module, yarn winding module, yarn joining module) to be mounted on the base member according to different winding type requirements, providing adaptability while maintaining structural simplicity

AI summary
An automatic winder (1) includes a plurality of winding units (4) and a main frame (2). Each of the winding units (4) has a yarn winding section (5) and a yarn joining section (8). Each of the winding units (4) is arranged in the main frame (2). The main frame (2) has an upper surface of a blower duct (13), and an upper surface of a support shaft (14). The upper surface of the blower duct (13) facing upward, supports more than half of the weight of the yarn winding section (5). The upper surface of the support shaft (14) facing upward, supports more than half of the weight of the yarn joining section (8). The yarn winding section (5) winds a yarn into a package (9). A yarn joining section (8) joins a yarn. The yarn winding section (5) and the yarn joining section (8) are mounted to the main frame (2) via a different mounting mechanism, respectively.
