Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric power conversion apparatuses face challenges in efficiently arranging multiple substrates in a small space while maintaining excellent access and maintenance performances.
Innovation Solution
A substrate unit is designed with a holding part that integrally holds multiple substrates, allowing for sliding movement between them, thereby optimizing space utilization and improving access and maintenance capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If multiple substrates are arranged in a small space, then space utilization is improved, but access and maintenance performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The substrate unit incorporates a movable substrate that can slide between a stored position and a work position. This dynamic arrangement allows the substrate to be easily accessed and maintained when not in use, while still occupying minimal space when stored. The sliding mechanism enables operators to access the substrate without requiring large clearance spaces, thus resolving the contradiction between compact arrangement and maintainability.
2Manufacturing precision
If substrates are arranged at constant intervals, then manufacturing precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holding part is designed with a standardized structure that can accommodate multiple substrates at constant intervals using a universal mounting mechanism. This multi-functional holding part serves both to precisely position substrates during operation and to enable easy sliding movement during maintenance. By creating a universal structure that performs multiple functions, the design achieves precise substrate arrangement without proportionally increasing device complexity.
