Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If a large disc brush on special equipment is used for deburring, then the deburring process is automated, but the burr removing effect is poor for vehicle wheels with complex modeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of deburring processVSAvoidburr removing effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs multiple servo electric cylinders to dynamically adjust the position, angle, and height of the brush during operation. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the brush to adapt to complex wheel geometries and maintain effective contact with burrs, resolving the contradiction between automation and deburring effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device is designed with universal applicability through adjustable mechanisms that can handle various wheel models and deburring requirements. The combination of multiple adjustment degrees of freedom enables a single device to effectively process different complex geometries, achieving both automation and adaptability.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If manual grinding is performed to meet deburring requirements, then the burr removing effect is satisfactory, but the production efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveburr removing effectVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The device enables automated self-service deburring through the coordinated action of servo electric cylinders and brush mechanisms. The system automatically positions and adjusts the brush to remove burrs without manual intervention, achieving both high deburring quality and production efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical grinding with an automated servo-controlled brush system. This substitution maintains effective burr removal while eliminating manual labor, thereby significantly improving production efficiency.

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

3Device complexity

If a fixed brush position is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to deburring requirements for any complex modeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to complex modeling
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed brush position into a dynamic, adjustable system using servo electric cylinders. These actuators enable real-time adjustment of brush position, angle, and height, allowing the device to adapt to various complex wheel geometries while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Productivity

If high automation degree is achieved, then production efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the deburring device into multiple independent modules, each controlled by dedicated servo electric cylinders. This segmentation allows for automated control and high productivity while managing complexity through modular architecture, where each module can be independently adjusted and maintained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
