Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packing systems for vacuum insulation panels are inefficient due to multiple packing processes, leading to low production efficiency and high failure rates caused by wrinkling and improper positioning of packing materials.
Innovation Solution
A packing system comprising a transporting device, an erecting device, a guiding device, a sidepoint positioning device, and a tension adjusting device that orients and folds the packing material in a standing manner, allowing it to be precisely positioned and tensioned for efficient packing of various-sized objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the packing material is folded multiple times to be in close contact with the core, then the quality of the vacuum insulation panel is improved, but the production efficiency deteriorates due to many packing processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple folding operations into a single integrated packing structure. The packing material is designed with pre-formed folds that allow it to wrap around the core in one continuous operation, eliminating the need for separate folding steps while still achieving close contact with the core surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The packing material is pre-configured with fold lines and creases before the packing process. This preliminary preparation allows the material to be quickly folded into the required shape during a single packing operation, rather than requiring multiple sequential folding steps during production.
2Reliability
If the packing material is packed without wrinkle, then the quality of the vacuum insulation panel is improved, but the complexity of the packing process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The packing material uses a flexible film structure that can conform to the core surface without creating wrinkles. The material's inherent flexibility allows it to adapt to the core's shape while maintaining a smooth surface, eliminating the need for complex wrinkle-prevention mechanisms.
3Reliability
If the packing material is always supplied to a predetermined position, then the failure rate of packed products is reduced, but the device complexity increases due to positioning mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The packing material incorporates self-positioning features such as alignment marks, guide edges, or asymmetric configurations that automatically orient the material correctly as it is supplied to the core. This self-alignment capability eliminates the need for complex external positioning mechanisms while ensuring consistent placement accuracy.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a single system is used to pack various sizes of packing target objects, then the versatility is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The packing system incorporates adjustable components such as variable-length packing materials, adjustable clamping mechanisms, or reconfigurable guide structures that can be dynamically adjusted to accommodate different core sizes. This dynamic adaptability allows a single system to handle various dimensions without requiring multiple specialized devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The packing material and apparatus are designed with universal features that enable them to function with packing targets of various sizes. The material uses standardized connection points and proportions that scale appropriately, while the apparatus employs adjustable parameters rather than fixed configurations, allowing one system to serve multiple size requirements.
