Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing process of arranging gas filters on recipients is complicated and time-consuming due to the need for two separate production lines and machines, one for manufacturing and another for placement, leading to increased costs and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that integrate the production of a gas filter with a filter layer and a cover layer directly onto a recipient component by creating a recess and welding the layers such that tunnels filled with filter material are formed, enabling gas exchange between the interior and exterior of the recipient, thus simplifying the process into one phase.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If two separate production lines and machines are used for manufacturing gas filters and placing them on recipients, then the manufacturing process can be divided into specialized stages, but the process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the gas filter manufacturing process and the placement process into a single integrated operation. The welding device simultaneously forms the gas filter structure and attaches it to the recipient component in one phase, eliminating the need for separate production lines and machines while improving both process simplicity and production efficiency
2Ease of manufacture
If two separate production lines and machines are used for manufacturing and placement, then each process can be optimized independently, but costs increase due to maintaining two different production lines
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the manufacturing and placement operations into a single welding device that performs both functions. This reduces the number of production lines from two to one, lowering maintenance costs and operational complexity while still allowing process optimization through the integrated design
3Reliability
If two separate phases are used for gas filter production and placement, then quality control can be performed at each stage, but the overall process becomes more time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The welding device performs manufacturing and placement operations in continuous sequence without interruption. The filter layers are formed, welded to the recipient component, and sealed in one continuous operation, maintaining quality control through consistent welding parameters while eliminating the time loss associated with transferring filters between separate production lines
