Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing manufacturing methods for resin panels face challenges in accurately positioning core materials, handling irregularly shaped burrs, and efficiently linking operations from molding to burr discharge, leading to inaccuracies, labor inefficiencies, and potential operational disruptions.
Innovation Solution
A manufacturing method involving a tilting positioning table for precise placement of target members, a holding apparatus with a rotatable pressing mechanism for secure holding of molded bodies with irregular burrs, and a folding mechanism for easy handling and discharging of burrs, along with a systematic approach to cut and separate molded components for streamlined processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a manipulator is used to transport the core material, then the core material can be transported with high accuracy, but it is not easy to position the core material accurately with respect to the suction head of the manipulator
Solution Approach 1:
The core material automatically positions itself relative to the suction head through the interaction of the inclined plane and gravitational force, eliminating the need for complex manual positioning operations while maintaining high positioning accuracy
2Ease of manufacture
If a mold with a pinch-off portion surrounding the cavity is used, then the resin panel can be molded, but the burr becomes large and irregularly shaped making it difficult to handle
Solution Approach 1:
The holding stand is designed to be tiltable, allowing the burr to be dynamically repositioned from a horizontal holding state to an inclined discharge state, facilitating easy movement and handling of the irregularly shaped burr
3Ease of repair
If the burr is separated from the resin panel on the holding stand and fed into a pulverizer, then the burr can be recycled, but the burr may fall from the burr receiving portion
Solution Approach 1:
The holding stand transitions from a horizontal position to an inclined position, using gravitational force to reliably move the burr toward the receiving portion while preventing it from falling off through controlled motion
4Ease of manufacture
If the burrs on each side are cut in sequence, then the resin panel with rectangular shape can be processed, but it takes time and is laborious to remove the burr
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple burr removal operations into a single integrated process where the molded body is held and processed in one location, allowing simultaneous or sequential cutting of burrs from multiple sides without relocating the workpiece, thereby reducing labor and time
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables high-accuracy positioning of core materials, facilitates the handling and processing of burrs, and improves the efficiency and smoothness of operations from molding to burr discharge, reducing labor and operational complexities.
Implementation Method 1
at least one target member is positioned by tilting a positioning table and sliding the target member placed on the positioning table to bring the target member into contact with a locking portion
Implementation Method 2
the holding mechanism comprises a rod and a pressing portion; the pressing portion is configured to be rotatable about the rod and is further configured such that a distance between the pressing portion and the holding surface is adjustable
Implementation Method 3
in the folding step, a burr placed on a holding stand is folded; the holding stand comprises a base stand and an arm; the base stand and the arm are rotatably connected to each other; the burr is placed across the base stand and the arm; and the burr is folded by rotating the arm with respect to the base stand
