Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mechanical manufacturing, existing press mechanisms often fail to provide uniform pressure, leading to vibration and shifting of work pieces during mould machining, which compromises machining accuracy.
Innovation Solution
A press mechanism comprising a driving mechanism, connecting plate, installation plate, and press assembly with adjustable first and second press blocks, elastic members, and fastening pins, allowing for precise alignment and pressure distribution on work pieces, enabling uniform pressure application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a conventional press mechanism is used, then the structure is simple, but the pressure distribution is non-uniform causing work piece vibration and shifting
Solution Approach 1:
The press mechanism is divided into multiple independent press blocks (first press blocks and second press blocks) that can be individually adjusted. Each press block is equipped with its own elastic member and fastening pin, allowing separate positioning and pressure application. This segmentation enables uniform pressure distribution across the work piece surface while maintaining structural simplicity through modular design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed press blocks are used, then the structure is stable, but the adaptability to varying work piece shapes and sizes is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The press blocks are designed with adjustable positions along the installation plate through connecting holes and fastening pins. The elastic members provide dynamic compression force that can be independently adjusted for each press block. This dynamic adjustability allows the mechanism to adapt to various work piece shapes and sizes while keeping the operation simple through straightforward positional adjustment and fastening.

AI summary
A press mechanism includes a driving mechanism, a connecting plate connected to the driving mechanism, an installation plate, and a press assembly. The press assembly includes a base defining at least one first resisting groove, at least one first press block and at least one second press block positioned on the base. The first press block includes at least one first elastic member and a first connecting block defining at least one second resisting groove. A predetermined distance is defined between the first connecting block and the base, and the first elastic member is received in the first resisting groove and the second resisting groove.
