Orifice Member Placing Table Position Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing orifice member placing tables fail to accurately determine the correct placement state and type of orifice members, leading to potential suction errors and incorrect incorporation during the manufacturing of liquid-sealed vibration-proof mounts due to incorrect posture or type mismatches.
Innovation Solution
An orifice member placing table equipped with a measuring unit and a position regulating portion that engages with the orifice member only when it is correctly positioned, lifting it if placed incorrectly or of a different type, ensuring proper alignment and type verification based on vertical position measurements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple recess positioning structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability of orifice member placement is worsened due to inability to detect incorrect placement
Solution Approach 1:
The measuring unit measures the vertical position of the orifice member before suction occurs. This preliminary measurement allows the system to detect placement errors in advance, preventing suction of incorrectly placed orifice members and ensuring reliable placement without requiring complex positioning structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the measuring unit to obtain feedback on the vertical position of the orifice member. Based on this feedback, the control unit determines whether the orifice member is correctly placed and controls the suction timing accordingly, ensuring only properly placed orifice members are suctioned.
2Device complexity
If no measurement and determination system is added, then the device complexity remains low, but the productivity is worsened due to potential suction errors and rework
Solution Approach 1:
The vertical position is measured before suction occurs, allowing the system to verify correct placement in advance. This prevents suction errors and eliminates the need for rework, improving manufacturing efficiency without requiring complex additional systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring unit provides real-time feedback on orifice member placement status. The control unit uses this feedback to make intelligent decisions about suction timing, ensuring only correctly placed orifice members are suctioned, thereby improving productivity by preventing errors.
3Ease of operation
If the position regulating portion engages with all orifice members, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability is worsened due to inability to distinguish correct from incorrect orifice member types
Solution Approach 1:
The vertical position is measured before suction to determine both placement correctness and orifice member type. This preliminary verification ensures that only the correct type of orifice member placed in the correct position is suctioned, maintaining reliability while keeping the positioning structure simple and easy to operate.
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring unit provides feedback on the vertical position, which the control unit uses to determine both the placement state and the type of orifice member. This feedback mechanism enables the system to verify both position and type, ensuring reliability without complicating the operation.

AI summary
A placing table includes a measuring-unit that measures a vertical position of an orifice member placed on the placing table, a position-regulating-portion that engages with a part of the orifice member of a type corresponding to the table, and an orifice-member-determination-unit that determines a placed state and type of the orifice member based on a measurement result obtained by the measuring-unit. When the corresponding type of the orifice member is placed in a correct posture, the position-regulating-portion engages with the orifice member and seats the orifice member on the table over the entire circumference of the lower end portion thereof. When a different type of orifice member is placed or when the corresponding type of orifice member is placed in an incorrect posture, the position-regulating-portion does not engage with the orifice member and lifts at least a part of the orifice member from the table.
