Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The slot opening of the glue slot in magnetic latching relays is not a closed structure, leading to uncontrollable glue flow and spillage during dispensing and oven curing, affecting the dispensing effect and wasting glue.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic latching relay design with sealed glue dispensing ports and mounting brackets that prevent glue spillage by forming closed dispensing ports and slots, utilizing protruding portions and arcuate supports to ensure secure bonding and controlled glue flow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the glue slot opening is not a closed structure, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the glue flows uncontrollably and spills during dispensing and curing
Solution Approach 1:
The base is divided into multiple sections with the glue slot formed by grooves on the sidewalls, creating distinct dispensing and curing zones. This segmentation allows controlled glue flow paths while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the base sidewalls and mounting brackets to form flexible sealing surfaces that create closed dispensing ports and curing slots. These thin structural elements provide the necessary sealing function without adding complex components.
2Manufacturing precision
If the glue slot opening is open structure, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the glue spills at the slot opening affecting dispensing effect
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is pre-positioned on the base to form the closed dispensing port structure before glue dispensing. This preliminary arrangement ensures precise glue placement and prevents spillage during the subsequent dispensing and curing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket serves as an intermediary component that creates the closed dispensing port and curing slot structures. It mediates between the simple base structure and the requirement for controlled glue flow, providing sealing surfaces without requiring complex modifications to the base itself.
3Loss of substance
If the glue slot opening is not closed, then the structure is simple, but the glue is wasted during the oven curing process
Solution Approach 1:
The curing process area is segmented into a closed curing slot formed by the base groove and mounting bracket. This segmentation contains the glue within the slot during oven curing, preventing waste while maintaining structural simplicity through the use of existing components.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket creates flexible sealing surfaces that form the closed curing slot structure. These thin structural elements provide effective glue containment during curing without adding significant complexity to the overall device structure.
