Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual work is used for RFID tire tag placement, then operation flexibility is maintained, but production efficiency decreases and placement accuracy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a photoelectric sensor to automatically detect the RFID tire tag position, and the PLC controller automatically controls the gripping jaw cylinder and placing cylinder to complete the placement process without manual intervention, achieving self-service automation that improves productivity while maintaining placement accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with an automated control system that uses photoelectric sensors for detection, PLC for control logic, and pneumatic cylinders for execution, substituting human-operated mechanical systems with automated electromechanical systems to enhance both efficiency and precision
2Manufacturing precision
If manual work is used for RFID tire tag placement, then equipment complexity is reduced, but placement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a photoelectric sensor as an intermediary detection device between the RFID tire tag and the PLC controller, and uses the PLC as an intermediary control unit between the sensor and the pneumatic cylinders, creating a layered intermediary system that ensures precise placement while managing equipment complexity through modular architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The PLC controller serves multiple functions including receiving signals from the photoelectric sensor, controlling the gripping jaw cylinder for tag acquisition, controlling the placing cylinder for tag deployment, and coordinating the base film reel movement, consolidating multiple control functions into a single universal control unit to manage complexity
3Productivity
If manual work is used for RFID tire tag placement, then device complexity is reduced, but production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection using the photoelectric sensor to locate the RFID tire tag before the placement operation begins, and the PLC pre-coordinates the movement of the base film reel and positioning of the gripping jaw cylinder, executing preliminary actions that streamline the overall process and improve productivity despite increased equipment complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the detection function (photoelectric sensor), control function (PLC), and execution functions (gripping jaw cylinder, placing cylinder, base film reel) into an integrated automated placement system, combining multiple subsystems that work协同 to improve productivity while managing complexity through functional integration

AI summary
Disclosed by the present invention is a embedding equipment for RFID tire tag, which comprises: a tag separating unit configured to separate an RFID tire tag from a base film; a tag conveying unit configured to transport the RFID tire tag to a setting position; and a tag grasping placing unit configured to grasp and attach an RFID tire tag. As an RFID tire tag being embedded on a product, firstly separating the RFID tire tag to be placed from the base film thereon by the tag separating unit, then grasping the separated RFID tire tag by the tag grasping placing unit, then transporting the tag grasping placing unit to a setting position by the conveying unit, then attaching the RFID tire tag on the equipment by the tag grasping placing unit, that means the completion of the entire process of placement. During which, the actions of separating, grabbing, transporting and placing are all realized automatically. In comparison with manual work, the present invention could not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce the risks of omission and misplacement, thereby improving the product quality.
