Problem

Conventional electric wire drawing machines have poor appearance, large volume, increased structural weight, environmental pollution due to lubricating oil leakage, and inefficiencies in wire traction due to twisting and winding issues.

Innovation Solution

A single box type electric wire pushing and pulling machine with a U-shaped shell, assembling socket, guide wheel assemblies, and gear axle, which includes a partitioned U-shaped shell, adjustable components, and guiding grooves on guide wheels to prevent oil overflow and ensure smooth wire handling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If two opening box bodies are combined into one box, then the wire drawing function is achieved, but the appearance becomes poor, volume increases, weight increases, and lubricating oil leakage occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire drawing functionVSAvoidoverall volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two separate opening box bodies into a single integrated box structure. This consolidation reduces the overall volume, improves appearance, and eliminates the gaps between separate boxes that caused lubricating oil leakage, while maintaining the wire drawing function through proper internal arrangement of components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single box is designed with a U-shaped structure that can be segmented into different functional sections. The box includes a first section for accommodating the wire drawing mechanism and a second section for the power supply, allowing functional segmentation while maintaining structural integration and preventing oil leakage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If two opening box bodies are combined into one box, then the wire drawing function is achieved, but the structural weight increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire drawing functionVSAvoidstructural weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

By merging two separate box bodies into one integrated structure, the patent eliminates redundant materials and connecting components. The unified box design reduces overall structural weight compared to two separate boxes while maintaining all necessary functions through internal component arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If two opening box bodies are combined into one box, then the wire drawing function is achieved, but lubricating oil leakage occurs causing environmental pollution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire drawing functionVSAvoidlubricating oil leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The integration of two box bodies into one eliminates the interface between separate components where lubricating oil could leak. The unified sealed structure prevents oil leakage and environmental pollution while maintaining the wire drawing function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Stability of the object's composition

If the spacing between box assembly and towing wire pressure wheel assembly is increased, then the structural stability is improved, but the wire becomes easily twisted and wound

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidwire traction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces guiding grooves on the guide wheels that control the wire path in a different dimensional arrangement. This allows the wire to be guided smoothly around the increased spacing between assemblies, preventing twisting and winding while maintaining structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

5Stability of the object's composition

If the spacing between box assembly and towing wire pressure wheel assembly is increased, then the structural stability is improved, but the wire traction efficiency decreases due to wire twisting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidtime lost for wire rearrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The guiding grooves on guide wheels provide a controlled path for the wire in three-dimensional space, allowing the wire to navigate the increased spacing without twisting. This eliminates the need to stop and rearrange the wire, maintaining continuous operation and improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
