Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current automatic flexible deburring devices are unable to adapt to the varying shapes and sizes of wheel back cavities, which can lead to incomplete burr removal and potential corrosion during the coating process.
Innovation Solution
A wheel conformal burr brushing device that automatically adjusts the posture and position of brushes according to the shape and size of the wheel's back cavity, utilizing a complex system of servo motors, guide rails, and brush bundles to ensure comprehensive burr removal on both the back cavity and obverse side.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed brush configuration is used for burr removal, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to different shapes and sizes of wheel back cavities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustability of brush positions and postures through servo motors and guide rails, allowing the brush configuration to change dynamically according to different wheel back cavity shapes and sizes, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed with universal applicability to handle various wheel back cavity configurations through adjustable brush assemblies that can be repositioned and reoriented, enabling a single device to perform multiple deburring tasks across different wheel types
2Extent of automation
If manual brush adjustment is used, then the device structure is simple, but the automation degree is low and production efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The device achieves self-adjustment capability through automated control systems that independently regulate brush positions and postures based on pre-programmed parameters, eliminating the need for manual intervention and significantly improving automation level while maintaining reasonable control system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The control system incorporates feedback mechanisms to monitor and adjust brush positions and postures in real-time, ensuring precise automated operation and enabling the system to adapt to different wheel configurations without manual input
3Manufacturing precision
If brushes cannot be automatically regulated, then the device structure is simple, but burr removal completeness is insufficient leading to coating defects
Solution Approach 1:
The device employs multiple brush assemblies positioned at different locations with independently adjustable positions and postures, allowing each brush to be optimized for specific local areas of the wheel back cavity, thereby ensuring complete burr removal across all surfaces including hard-to-reach areas
