Processing Apparatus Panel Power Sockets Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing processing apparatuses require cumbersome connection of extension cords for power supply, making it difficult to use electric devices like oscilloscopes, inspection devices, personal computers, and cleaners near the processing units.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating power source sockets on the panel surrounding the processing apparatus, allowing electric devices such as inspection devices, personal computers, and cleaners to be directly connected for easy use without the need for extension cords.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If power source sockets are installed in the plant and extension cords are used to connect electric apparatuses, then electric devices can be powered, but the connection process becomes troublesome and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates power source sockets directly into the panel structure of the processing apparatus. This merging of the power supply system with the main apparatus eliminates the need for separate extension cords and plugs, allowing electric apparatuses to be connected directly to the panel, thereby simplifying the overall power connection system and improving operational ease.
Solution Approach 2:
The panel serves as an intermediary structure that incorporates power source sockets, acting as a mediator between the main power supply and various electric apparatuses. This intermediary integration allows multiple devices to be powered through a unified interface on the panel, eliminating the need for multiple separate power connections and extension cords.
2Adaptability or versatility
If extension cords are used to power electric apparatuses near the processing apparatus, then devices can be powered, but the setup becomes troublesome requiring plug insertion and wiring
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the power source sockets with the panel structure, the patent enables electric apparatuses to be powered directly at the location where they are needed. This integration provides both adaptability (multiple devices can be powered near the processing apparatus) and ease of operation (direct connection without extension cords).

AI summary
A processing apparatus includes a chuck table that holds a workpiece, a processing unit that processes the workpiece held by the chuck table, and a panel that surrounds components including the chuck table and the processing unit. Power source sockets are disposed on the panel, and electric apparatuses including an inspection device, a personal computer, a fan, and a cleaner are connected to the power source sockets and are used.
