Solution Overview

Problem

Existing reinforcing bar binding technologies face challenges in stabilizing the position of the binding mechanism when it abuts against reinforcing bars, leading to inaccuracies in positioning.

Innovation Solution

A reinforcing bar binding device equipped with a binding section, a holding section, a lifting section, and an elastic section that attenuates movement speed, allowing precise positioning and stabilization by engaging and disengaging mechanisms to ensure accurate binding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the binding machine body is moved using a regulating structure to fix the relative position, then the binding machine body can be accurately disposed at a desired position, but it becomes difficult to stabilize the position when the binding machine body abuts against the reinforcing bar

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidposition stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a static regulating structure to a dynamic engagement mechanism. The engaging section can engage with or disengage from the engaged section on the holding section, allowing the system to adapt its rigidity based on operational needs. When engaged, the system provides stable positioning; when disengaged, it allows for position adjustment and stabilization during binding operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the engagement state parameter of the lifting section. By switching between engaged and disengaged states, the system alters its mechanical properties - specifically the rigidity and degree of constraint on the binding machine body, thereby achieving both accurate positioning and stable operation during binding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the binding machine body is rigidly fixed to maintain position, then positioning accuracy is improved, but the binding machine body cannot absorb reaction forces during binding operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidreaction force absorption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The engagement mechanism allows the system to dynamically adjust its rigidity. When the engaging section is disengaged from the engaged section, the holding section can move independently to absorb reaction forces during binding, while maintaining positioning accuracy through the control system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The lifting section is segmented into movable components - the engaging section and the engaged section on the holding section. This segmentation allows independent movement of the holding section relative to the binding machine body, enabling reaction force absorption while maintaining overall positioning accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If the binding machine body is allowed to move freely to absorb reaction forces, then reliability is improved, but positioning accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereaction force absorptionVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the degree of freedom of the holding section based on operational phase. During positioning, the engaging section engages to ensure accuracy; during binding operations, the engaging section disengages to allow the holding section to absorb reaction forces, thus achieving both positioning accuracy and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

This reinforcing bar binding apparatus comprises a binding part (129) for binding reinforcing bars, a holding part (112) for holding the binding part (129), and an elevating mechanism (113) that lifts and lowers the holding part (112) with respect to a body unit. The elevating mechanism (113) includes a coupling part (119) that is coupled to the holding part (112) and a drive part (127) that moves the coupling part (119). The coupling part (119) has a movable shaft (115), and the holding part (112) has a long hole (111H) engaging with the movable shaft (115). The drive part (127) moves the coupling part (119) in a state where the binding part (129) is in contact with the reinforcing bars and moves the movable shaft (115) relative to the long hole (111H) to thereby release the engagement therebetween.
