Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing textile web-like material production systems require rebuilding and device replacement for different textile products, lacking flexibility and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A system and method incorporating a device for treating textile material with a gaseous medium, a binding agent application device, and a transport deflection device that allows for flexible operation, enabling the system to be quickly adapted for various processes such as thermobonding, drying, and curing, with the option to bypass certain devices for different production requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different systems with different devices are used for different textile goods, then the textile production can be customized for specific products, but the system requires rebuilding and device replacement, reducing flexibility and increasing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single production system that can perform multiple functions through different process configurations. The system can produce various textile web-like products (sanitary towels, napkins, diapers, etc.) using the same basic equipment by adjusting the transport deflection devices to route the web through different treatment sequences, eliminating the need for dedicated systems for each product type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics through adjustable transport deflection devices that can dynamically change the process flow configuration. These devices allow the system to adapt its structure in real-time by redirecting the textile web through different paths (around binding agent devices, through thermobonding devices, through drying devices), enabling flexible reconfiguration without physical rebuilding.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system is rebuilt and devices are replaced for different textile goods, then the production can be adapted to new products, but the time and cost for reconfiguration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transport deflection devices provide dynamic reconfiguration capability, allowing the system to switch between different production modes quickly by simply adjusting the routing paths rather than physically replacing devices. This dramatically reduces reconfiguration time while maintaining full adaptability to produce different textile products.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices are integrated in the system, then more processing functions are available, but the system complexity and number of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates multiple processing functions (drying, thermobonding, binding agent application) into a single multi-functional production line. By using universal equipment that can perform different functions based on process configuration rather than dedicated devices for each function, the system achieves high versatility while controlling component complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple processing functions into a single integrated system where drying devices, thermobonding devices, and binding agent application devices share common infrastructure and can be selectively activated. This combining approach provides comprehensive processing capability while reducing overall system complexity compared to having separate independent systems for each function.
