Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual lapping process is used for rubber sealing ring blanks, then flexibility in size adjustment is improved, but forming efficiency and quality stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs adjustable guide wheels that can be dynamically repositioned along the blank strip to accommodate different ring sizes. The guide wheels' positions are adjustable rather than fixed, allowing the system to adapt to various specifications while maintaining automated high-speed operation, thus resolving the contradiction between flexibility and efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the operational parameters by using a continuous blank strip with adjustable cutting positions and guide wheel configurations. This allows the system to maintain high-speed automated operation while adapting to different size requirements through parameter adjustment rather than manual reconfiguration
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual lapping process is used for rubber sealing ring blanks, then flexibility in size adjustment is improved, but quality stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The automated system incorporates control mechanisms that regulate the cutting and forming processes with precision. The system can maintain consistent quality across different production runs through automated control, while still allowing flexibility in size adjustment through programmable parameters rather than manual operations
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable guide wheels and cutting mechanisms provide dynamic adaptability to different specifications while maintaining stable, repeatable manufacturing processes through automation, ensuring consistent quality regardless of the specific size being produced
3Productivity
If cutting machine process is used for rubber sealing ring blanks, then forming speed is improved, but material utilization deteriorates due to scraps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a continuous blank strip that is fed through the forming and cutting processes without interruption. This continuous operation eliminates the need to stop and re-melt material for different sizes, maintaining high forming speed while reducing waste through optimized material usage and continuous production flow
Solution Approach 2:
The single continuous blank strip serves multiple purposes - it can be cut to produce different ring sizes as needed, eliminating the need for separate production runs for different specifications. This universal approach maintains high speed production while improving material utilization by avoiding repeated melting and reprocessing

AI summary
The present invention relates to the field of forming technologies for rubber sealing ring blanks, and more particularly to an automatic forming method and device for a rubber sealing ring blank. A cutting blade is fixedly connected to the surface of a blank forming assembly; an equipment body II is fixedly connected to a sliding table die set; a supporting rod II is fixedly connected to the surface of the equipment body II; a blank box is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the supporting rod II; and a blank spool is fixedly connected to the tail end of a long blank strip. The method and device disclosed by the present invention have the advantages that the automation degree is high, and the long blank strip conveyed from the blank spool passes through guide wheels and a guide groove and is automatically pressed into a ring through the combined action of the blank forming assembly and the cutting blade. According to this patent technology, feeding is performed by means of continuous introduction of the blank strip; and automatic formation of the blank ring is achieved through the action of an automation assembly. Except for a process of replacing the blank spool after the long blank strip of the blank spool is used up, the other processes are all completed by the machine, such that the automation rate is high.
