Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spinning machines with single mode functions require multiple machines for different processes, leading to low equipment utilization and increased production line costs when only one process is needed.
Innovation Solution
An integrated spinning machine with a rotatable rotary table, cross carriages, and interchangeable components for opposite roller and belt grinder spinning modes, allowing flexible mode adjustment based on production line demands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple single-mode spinning machines are arranged in the production line to meet different process demands, then the production line can handle both opposite roller spinning and abrasive tool spinning, but the production line site is occupied and the equipment utilization rate decreases when only one process is needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines opposite roller spinning and abrasive tool spinning functions into a single integrated spinning machine. The machine includes both opposite roller spinning components (first cross carriage with abrasive belt, second cross carriage with abrasive wheel) and abrasive tool spinning components (internal rotation wheel, external rotation wheel, mold), allowing both process flows to be performed on one machine, thereby reducing the number of machines needed in the production line.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated spinning machine is designed to perform multiple functions: it can switch between opposite roller spinning mode and abrasive tool spinning mode. The machine includes interchangeable components (clamp block for opposite roller spinning, mold for abrasive tool spinning) that can be detached and replaced, enabling one machine to serve multiple purposes and improve equipment utilization rate.
2Device complexity
If only one spinning machine is used for a single process flow, then the production line site is saved, but the spinning machine of the other process remains idle and the equipment utilization rate is low
Solution Approach 1:
The machine employs dynamic, interchangeable components that can be detached and replaced based on production needs. The clamp block can be removed and a mold installed, and the cross carriages can switch between carrying different abrasive tools. This dynamic reconfiguration capability allows the single machine to adapt to different process flows, ensuring high equipment utilization rate when only one process is needed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple spinning machines are deployed to cover all process flows, then all production requirements are met, but the production line cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging opposite roller spinning and abrasive tool spinning into one integrated machine, the patent reduces the total number of machines required in the production line. This consolidation directly lowers production line costs while maintaining the capability to handle both process flows, as the machine can be reconfigured between modes by replacing components.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal design of the integrated spinning machine, which can perform both opposite roller spinning and abrasive tool spinning, eliminates the need to purchase and maintain multiple specialized machines. This multi-functionality reduces capital expenditure and operational costs while ensuring all production requirements are met.

AI summary
An integrated spinning machine includes a machine body. A rotary table, a first cross carriage and a second cross carriage are provided on the machine body. A clamp block is clamped at the bottom of a workpiece; the second cross carriage can drive an internal rotation wheel to extend into the interior of the workpiece; the internal rotation wheel abuts against the inner wall of the workpiece; the first cross carriage can drive an external rotation wheel to abut against the outer wall of the workpiece, and the external rotation wheel is provided opposite to the internal rotation wheel; or the mold sleeve abuts against the inside of the workpiece; the second cross carriage can drive the tail top of the mold to abut against the top of a mold; and the first cross carriage can drive the external rotary wheel to abut against the outer wall of the workpiece.
