Solution Overview

Problem

Existing reinforcing bar binding machines lack the capability to acquire and utilize information related to the binding process, leading to inefficiencies and potential deviations in the positioning of reinforcing bars during concrete pouring.

Innovation Solution

A binding device equipped with an information acquisition unit and communication unit that collects and shares binding-related information, enabling reporting and control of the binding process, including the use of a transfer robot to precisely position the binding machine.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a binding machine is used to bind reinforcing bars with a wire, then the binding operation can be performed, but information related to the binding process is not acquired or utilized

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebinding process informationVSAvoidbinding machine structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The binding machine is equipped with an information acquisition unit that collects binding process information and an information communication unit that transmits this data to external devices. This feedback mechanism enables real-time monitoring and utilization of binding information without significantly increasing device complexity, as the information acquisition and communication components are integrated into the existing binding machine structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If a transfer robot is introduced to move the binding machine to binding positions, then positioning accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebinding position accuracyVSAvoidbinding system structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A transfer robot is introduced as an intermediary device to move the binding machine between different binding positions. This mediator enables precise positioning and automated operation while keeping the binding machine itself relatively simple. The transfer robot handles the complex positioning and movement functions, allowing the binding machine to focus on its core binding function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If binding information is collected and communicated in real-time, then control and reporting capabilities are enhanced, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebinding operation efficiencyVSAvoidinformation processing system

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Real-time information acquisition and communication units are integrated into the binding machine to enable continuous monitoring and transmission of binding process data. This feedback system enhances productivity by providing immediate information for control decisions and reporting, while the information processing requirements are managed through efficient data collection and transmission protocols that minimize processing overhead.

Inventive Principle:
