Recording Device Frame Flatness via Plate Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing recording device frames struggle to achieve high accuracy and strength, particularly in the flatness of the base frame, which is crucial for supporting large recording devices and ensuring precise movement operations, due to limitations in the bending process and the need for secondary cutting processes.
Innovation Solution
A recording device frame design featuring a top surface member, a bottom surface member, and reinforcing members formed from plate-shaped materials, where the reinforcing members are cut and bent to intersect with the top and bottom surface members, providing a stable and accurate flat structure without requiring additional bending processes, and are assembled with specific orientation and welding to ensure precision and strength.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a frame is formed by bending a plate-shaped material into a square hollow member and joining it between two plate-shaped materials, then the frame can achieve high strength, but it is difficult to realize the required flatness accuracy without secondary cutting processes
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple plate-shaped members (first plate member, second plate member, third plate member, fourth plate member) that are joined together. Each member can be manufactured separately with controlled flatness, and the segmentation allows for modular assembly that maintains overall flatness accuracy without requiring complex secondary cutting processes on a single bent piece.
2Device complexity
If the flatness of the frame depends on the accuracy of the bending process, then the frame structure can be simplified, but the required flatness accuracy cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple plate-shaped members are merged together through joining processes to form the complete frame structure. This merging approach combines the simplicity of plate fabrication with the ability to achieve high flatness accuracy, as each plate can be manufactured flat and then assembled together, avoiding the need for highly accurate single-piece bending while maintaining structural simplicity.
3Manufacturing precision
If secondary cutting processes are used to achieve required flatness accuracy, then the flatness can be improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The plate-shaped members are prepared in advance with predetermined flatness and dimensions before assembly. By performing preliminary preparation of individual plates rather than requiring secondary cutting after bending, the manufacturing process achieves high flatness accuracy while maintaining productivity, as each plate can be manufactured and verified independently before final assembly.

AI summary
A base frame includes a top surface member formed from a plate-shaped material, a bottom surface member formed from a plate-shaped material and disposed in parallel to the top surface member, and a reinforcing member disposed between the top surface member and the bottom surface member. The reinforcing member is formed from a plate-shaped material, and includes a main body portion having a flat plate shape and intersecting the top surface member and the bottom surface member. The main body portion includes a first contact portion in contact with the bottom surface member and a second contact portion in contact with the top surface member.
