Residual Material Separation With Buffered Fixing Plate Pressing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional mechanical jaws struggle to effectively separate small residual materials, such as those from cut liquid crystal panels, due to their narrow frames, often causing damage and high defect rates during the cutting process.
Innovation Solution
A residual material removing device featuring a loading platform, a fixing plate, and a first pressing portion with an elastic buffer material, driven by a servo motor, which applies controlled pressing force to separate the residual material without damaging the main material, suitable for materials like glass substrates and liquid crystal panels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional mechanical jaws are used to grip residual material, then the gripping action is simple and direct, but the narrow frame residual material cannot be effectively gripped, causing damage and high defect rates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fixing plate as an intermediary component between the mechanical jaws and the residual material. The fixing plate contacts the upper surface of the material to be cut and extends to contact the residual material, serving as a mediator that distributes the gripping force and enables effective separation without directly damaging the residual material or the effective portion.
Solution Approach 2:
The gripping mechanism is segmented into multiple functional components: mechanical jaws for initial gripping, a fixing plate for distributing force and contacting the residual material, and a pressing portion for applying additional separating force. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally, improving overall separation effectiveness while reducing damage.
2Reliability
If pressing force is applied to separate residual material, then separation effectiveness improves, but the effective portion may be damaged without proper buffering
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates an elastic buffer between the pressing portion and the fixing plate to provide beforehand cushioning. The elastic buffer absorbs and distributes the pressing force, preventing concentrated stress that could damage the effective portion while maintaining sufficient force for effective separation of the residual material.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state of the buffer material from rigid to elastic, allowing it to deform and absorb energy during the pressing operation. This parameter change enables the system to apply necessary pressing force while automatically adjusting to prevent damage through the elastic deformation and energy absorption of the buffer material.
