Remote Power Control for Electronic Component Mounting Apparatuses
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic component mounting apparatuses require manual operation for power control, leading to increased time and reduced efficiency when managing multiple apparatuses in a line, necessitating a remote power control solution.
Innovation Solution
A power control system comprising power control modules, a programmable logic controller, and a remote control module that enables remote on/off control of electronic component mounting apparatuses via wired or wireless connections, incorporating actuators, main circuit breakers, and safety modules to prevent accidental power changes and integrate operation states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used for power control of multiple apparatuses, then individual control is possible, but time consumption and labor requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power control system is segmented into multiple independent power control modules, each capable of controlling individual apparatuses. This modular approach allows centralized control while maintaining the ability to control each apparatus independently, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
A controller acts as an intermediary between the operator and the multiple apparatuses. The controller receives power control commands from the operator and distributes them to the appropriate power control modules, enabling remote control and reducing the time and effort required for manual operation of multiple apparatuses.
2Productivity
If individual power control is implemented for each apparatus, then precise control is possible, but work efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple individual power control functions are merged into a centralized control system. The controller integrates the control logic for multiple apparatuses, allowing operators to manage all apparatuses through a single interface, thereby improving work efficiency while the modular power control modules maintain the necessary control precision.
3Extent of automation
If remote power control is implemented, then centralized control is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power control modules are designed to operate autonomously under centralized control. Each module independently executes power control commands received from the controller without requiring complex coordination, thereby achieving remote power control automation while minimizing the increase in system complexity through modular self-contained design.
