Solution Overview

Problem

The conventional production process of smart diapers is inefficient due to the need to manually set the mounting position of a data reader relative to the sensing layer, which increases production time and costs.

Innovation Solution

A manufacturing method and production system that automates the cutting and placement of a sensing strip and a receiving groove in smart diapers, ensuring precise alignment and integration with a data reader without manual intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual positioning of data reader is used according to sensing layer position, then alignment precision is improved, but production efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical positioning with an automated control system that uses cutting mark position information to control the cutting device. This substitutes human operation with automated detection and control, maintaining alignment precision while dramatically improving production efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the cutting mark on the leakage-proof bottom layer as a reference that automatically guides the positioning of both the sensing layer cutting and the data reader mounting. The cutting mark serves as a self-contained reference that eliminates the need for separate positioning operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated cutting and positioning system is implemented, then production efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control device performs multiple functions: it detects the position of cutting marks, controls the cutting device to cut the sensing layer at appropriate positions, and guides the formation of the receiving groove. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate devices while maintaining automated precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the positioning reference (cutting mark), the cutting operation, and the data reader positioning into a single integrated process. The cutting mark serves as a universal reference point that coordinates both the sensing layer cutting and the bottom layer groove formation, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present application provides an absorption product and a manufacturing method therefor, and a production system for manufacturing the absorption product. According to the manufacturing method for the absorption product of the present application, cutting of a sensing layer and a leak-proof bottom layer is controlled according to an in-place signal of a same cutting mark, such that the orthographic projection of a sensing strip on the leak-proof bottom layer intersects with an accommodating groove used for accommodating a data reader. The end of the sensing strip in contact with the absorption core is conducted by means of the absorption liquid, and the data reader can obtain conduction data of the sensing strip so as to send out a replacement prompt, such that the absorption product can be replaced timely according to the replacement prompt.
