A multifunctional pipe film removing device with a tool section, roller section, and connecting section that includes adjustable components such as surface rollers, elastic rollers, and a connecting mechanism allowing for adjustable angles and positions to remove films from either the inner or outer surface of pipes regardless of diameter.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a conventional pipe film removing device is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot control the cutting amount of film and is limited to specific pipe diameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol of cutting amountVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements adjustable components including the roller section that can be positioned at different locations along the pipe, and the tool section with adjustable cutting depth. The connecting section allows angular adjustment between 0-180 degrees, enabling dynamic adaptation to different pipe diameters and cutting requirements, thus achieving precise control over film removal amount.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device is designed to remove films from both inner and outer surfaces of pipes with varying diameters using a single multifunctional structure. The roller section can engage with either the inner or outer surface, and the tool section can be positioned to cut film from either surface, making the device universally applicable to different pipe configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional pipe film removing device is used, then the device is easy to manufacture, but it can only remove either inner surface film or outer surface film

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremoval of inner or outer surface filmVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device integrates both inner surface film removal capability (through the roller section engaging the inner surface) and outer surface film removal capability (through the roller section engaging the outer surface) into a single unit. The connecting section's angular adjustability enables the tool section to access either surface, providing universal film removal functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting section allows dynamic reconfiguration of the tool section's position and angle, enabling the same device to adapt between removing inner surface films and outer surface films based on the operational requirements, thus achieving versatility without requiring multiple specialized devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional pipe film removing device is used, then the device structure is simple, but it requires different sized devices for different pipe diameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to various pipe diametersVSAvoidadjustable mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The roller section is designed to be movable along the pipe length and can be positioned at different locations. The connecting section provides angular adjustability, and the entire device can be configured to accommodate different pipe diameters through these adjustable mechanisms, eliminating the need for multiple fixed-size devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A single device design serves multiple pipe diameter requirements through its adjustable roller section and connecting section, making it universally applicable across different pipe sizes without requiring separate specialized devices for each diameter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
