Rotating Disk Removing Blades for Wire Insulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing removing apparatuses for insulating coatings on conductive wires require multiple steps and conductor transfer stops, increasing operation time and complexity.
Innovation Solution
A removing apparatus with a transfer unit and a removing unit featuring a displaceable removing blade that removes the insulating coating while the conductor is being transferred, utilizing a rotating disk with blades that abut the coating at an inclination to reduce steps and load, and a separate transfer member to manage conductor movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the conductor is stopped to remove the insulating coating in multiple steps, then the removal can be performed thoroughly, but the number of steps increases and operation time is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous conductor transfer through the removal apparatus while insulating coating removal is performed simultaneously. The conductor moves continuously in the axial direction while removal blades engage the insulating coating, eliminating stopping steps and achieving both thorough removal and time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The removal blades are designed to be displaceable relative to the conductor during transfer. The blades can move axially to engage and disengage from the insulating coating while the conductor continues to move, enabling dynamic removal operation that maintains continuous transfer while achieving complete coating removal.
2Strength
If the removing blade displaces in perpendicular direction to abut against the insulating coating, then the removal force is effective, but the load on the conductor increases and apparatus size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The removal blade is designed with an asymmetric inclination angle relative to the conductor axis, not perpendicular. This inclined configuration allows the blade to engage the insulating coating at an optimal angle that provides effective removal force while reducing the lateral load on the conductor and minimizing the apparatus footprint.
3Reliability
If a separate transfer member is provided for conductor transfer, then the transfer function is independent, but the number of parts increases and apparatus size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The removal blade assembly is designed to perform dual functions: removing the insulating coating and transferring the conductor simultaneously. The blade's displacement mechanism provides both removal action and conductor advancement, eliminating the need for a separate dedicated transfer member and reducing overall apparatus complexity.

AI summary
A removing apparatus (2) includes a first removing section (11) and a second removing section (12). The first removing section (11) includes a rotating disk (15) and a driven roller (16). The rotating disk (15) has a pair of left and right first to fourth left and right removing blades (21) to (24) attached thereto. When the rotating disk (15) rotates in a counterclockwise direction, a coil conductive wire (3) sandwiched between the rotating disk (15) and the driven roller (16) is transferred in a transfer direction. When the rotating disk (15) rotates in a counterclockwise direction, the left and right side surface portions of the insulating coating (4) are removed by a blade portion (21b) of a pair of left and right first left and right removing blades (21).
