Mounting Target Working Device for Flat and 3D Components
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic component mounters are limited to working on either simple flat plate-shaped or complicated three-dimensional mounting targets, lacking the capability to efficiently handle both types within a single device, leading to increased complexity and reduced efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A mounting target working device is designed with distinct areas for handling both flat plate-shaped and three-dimensional mounting targets, utilizing a head unit, first and second mounting target holders, conveyance units, and transfer units to facilitate operations on both types, with the first mounting target work area located within the conveyance path and the second mounting target work area positioned outside, allowing for stable and efficient processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the device is designed to handle only simple flat plate-shaped mounting targets, then the device structure remains simple, but the device cannot process complicated three-dimensional mounting targets
Solution Approach 1:
The head unit is designed to perform mounting operations on both flat plate-shaped mounting targets and three-dimensional mounting targets. By making the head unit universal, the device can handle multiple types of mounting targets without requiring separate specialized units for each type, thus improving adaptability while controlling device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting target holder is designed with movable and adjustable components that can adapt its configuration based on the shape of the mounting target. This dynamic capability allows the same holder structure to accommodate both simple flat targets and complex three-dimensional targets, enabling versatility without proportionally increasing device complexity
2Reliability
If separate devices are used for simple and complicated mounting targets, then each device can be optimized for its specific function, but the overall system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using separate specialized devices for flat and three-dimensional mounting targets, the invention employs a single head unit that can perform mounting operations on both types of targets. This universal approach reduces the number of devices required while maintaining operational reliability through consistent mounting mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the functionality of multiple specialized mounting devices into a single integrated system. By combining the capabilities to handle both simple and complicated mounting targets into one device with a versatile head unit and adaptable holder, the system reduces overall complexity while maintaining the reliability needed for different target types
3Device complexity
If a single work area is used for both simple and complicated mounting targets, then the device structure is simplified, but the processing efficiency and stability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The work area is segmented into distinct first and second work areas, each optimized for specific mounting target types. The first work area handles simple flat plate-shaped targets while the second work area is configured for complicated three-dimensional targets. This segmentation allows each area to be optimized for its specific function, maintaining high processing efficiency while keeping the overall device structure relatively simple
