Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cutting devices for packaging bags suffer from impurity accumulation on cutting knives, leading to precision and efficiency issues, uneven cutting edges, and frequent tool cleaning or replacement, affecting production quality.

Innovation Solution

A packaging bag production device equipped with a support frame, cams, cutting knives, cleaning plates, and sliding frames, where cleaning plates and cleaning grids scrape off impurities during the cutting process, and a V-shaped bag body design to prevent paper breakage and improve aesthetics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional cutting devices are used for packaging bags, then cutting operations can be performed, but impurities accumulate on the cutting knives affecting precision and efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting precisionVSAvoidimpurity accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The cleaning plate performs preliminary cleaning action on the cutting knife before each cutting operation. The cleaning plate is positioned to contact the cutting knife surface ahead of time, removing impurities in advance to prevent contamination during the cutting process, thereby maintaining cutting precision without requiring frequent stops for cleaning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The cleaning system operates automatically as part of the cutting cycle itself. The cleaning plate is driven by the same motor that operates the cutting knife, and the cleaning action is integrated into the existing mechanical cycle. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for separate manual cleaning operations, continuously maintaining cutting knife cleanliness and precision throughout production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If cutting knives are used frequently without cleaning, then productivity is maintained, but cutting edges become uneven and burrs form

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting efficiencyVSAvoidcutting edge quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The cleaning plate continuously contacts the cutting knife throughout the entire cutting cycle, providing uninterrupted cleaning action. As the cutting knife rotates and performs cutting operations, the cleaning plate simultaneously removes impurities in a continuous manner, ensuring the cutting edge remains clean and sharp throughout production without interruption to the cutting process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The cleaning function is merged with the cutting function into a single integrated system. The cleaning plate and cutting knife share the same drive mechanism and operational cycle, combining two previously separate functions (cutting and cleaning) into one unified process. This allows continuous productivity while maintaining cutting edge quality through simultaneous cleaning action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If cleaning operations are performed manually on cutting knives, then impurity removal is achieved, but production time is lost and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpurity removalVSAvoidcleaning downtime
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The cleaning system is fully automated and self-operating, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The cleaning plate is mechanically driven by the existing motor system and automatically performs cleaning actions during the cutting cycle without requiring operator involvement. This removes both the manual labor component and the associated production downtime for cleaning operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The cleaning action is performed in advance during the cutting cycle itself, preparing the cutting knife for the next cutting operation before impurities can accumulate to problematic levels. This preliminary cleaning prevents the need for separate post-cutting cleaning operations, eliminating production time loss while maintaining continuous impurity removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
