Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If robots are used for assembly tasks requiring high positioning precision, then assembly precision can be improved, but the robot is affected by vibration of moving components in the system, ultimately resulting in the robot being unable to perform high-precision assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the assembly process into two distinct phases: a dynamic conveying phase where components are transported, and a static positioning phase where components are separated and positioned on a positioning platform. This segmentation isolates the robot from vibration during the critical assembly operation while maintaining efficient conveying during the non-critical transport phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning mechanism performs preliminary positioning of assembly members on a positioning platform before the robot performs the final assembly operation. This preliminary action ensures that components are pre-positioned with high precision, reducing the positioning burden on the robot and enabling high-precision assembly despite system vibrations.
2Productivity
If conventional automated equipment is used for flow-type production, then production efficiency can be improved, but versatility is reduced due to mechanical structure limitations and control system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines a conveying mechanism with a positioning mechanism into a multi-functional unit that can both transport and precisely position various assembly members. The positioning mechanism uses adjustable positioning members that can accommodate different component types and geometries, enabling the same system to handle multiple product variants without requiring complete reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs a movable positioning platform that can dynamically adjust its position and the positioning members can be reconfigured for different assembly members. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to switch between different assembly tasks and product types, enhancing versatility while maintaining efficient flow-type production.
