Skin Electrode Patch Cutting Device with Roller Knife
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional method of manufacturing skin electrode patches is inefficient, requiring manual cutting and assembly, which slows down production lines and lacks convenience in integrating the electrode lead.
Innovation Solution
A shape cutting device with a roller-type configuration, featuring a cutting knife with protruding side cutters and second-end cutters, is used to efficiently cut and shape the electrode patch material, allowing for automatic integration of the electrode lead during the manufacturing process, utilizing a conveyor system and positioning tools to enhance production efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual cutting and assembly methods are used, then manufacturing flexibility is maintained, but production speed and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The cutting device automatically positions and cuts the electrode lead during the patch manufacturing process without requiring separate manual operations. The integrated design allows the material strip to be fed continuously and cut automatically at predetermined positions, enabling the system to serve itself and eliminating dependency on manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the cutting function with the existing material feeding and positioning systems into an integrated device. The cutting knife is incorporated into the material transmission path, allowing cutting operations to be merged with the continuous material flow process, thereby increasing productivity without adding separate manual assembly steps.
2Productivity
If continuous cutting is implemented, then production efficiency improves, but structural strength to prevent breakdowns may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs preliminary positioning and alignment of the electrode lead before cutting occurs. By pre-positioning the material strip and electrode lead in correct alignment, the cutting operation can proceed continuously without interruptions or misalignments that would compromise structural integrity or cause breakdowns.
Solution Approach 2:
The design incorporates support structures and guiding mechanisms that cushion and stabilize the material strip during the cutting process. These preliminary support measures prevent structural weakness or breakdowns by maintaining proper tension and alignment throughout the continuous cutting operation.
