Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tentering processes require manual correction of fabric deformation, leading to imprecise results and reduced efficiency, as workers manually adjust fabric spacing during the tentering process to correct design pattern deformations post-processing.
Innovation Solution
A tenter system equipped with an introduced-fabric design pattern correction unit, a scanning unit, and a central processing unit that compares standard and discharged fabric design pattern images to automatically adjust the fabric's lateral width and supply speed for precise correction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual correction of fabric design pattern is performed by workers, then the fabric deformation can be corrected, but the work efficiency is significantly reduced and the correction precision is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical correction system with an automated image processing and control system. The scanning unit captures fabric design pattern images, the processor analyzes deformations by comparing scanned images with standard patterns, and the correction unit automatically adjusts fabric parameters, eliminating manual intervention and significantly improving both precision and efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-correction of fabric deformation through automated detection and adjustment. The scanning unit detects design pattern deformations, the processor determines correction parameters, and the correction unit executes adjustments without human intervention, allowing the system to correct its own errors automatically
2Reliability
If manual inspection and correction of fabric design pattern is performed, then deformation can be detected and corrected, but the process is time-consuming and reduces productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces time-consuming manual inspection with rapid automated image scanning and processing. The scanning unit captures fabric patterns quickly, the processor performs real-time image analysis to detect deformations, and the system immediately determines correction parameters, dramatically reducing detection and correction time while maintaining high accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables continuous detection and correction of fabric deformations throughout the production process. The scanning unit continuously scans fabric design patterns, the processor continuously analyzes images for deformations, and the correction unit continuously adjusts parameters, ensuring uninterrupted high-speed operation without manual intervention
